Best Modern Warfare 2 MX Guardian loadout attachments

• Barrel: MX-G Mobile
• Laser: Schlager ULO-66 Laser
• Stock: MX DCP-0
• Rear Grip: XRK Rush
• Ammunition: MX Pro Mag

We’ve built the best Modern Warfare 2 MX Guardian loadout to take advantage of its hip-fire capabilities, letting you rapidly kill enemies without the need to aim.

The MX-G Mobile barrel helps with movement speed, damage range, and hip-fire accuracy, while the Schlager ULO-66 Laser further helps with your aim from the hip.

Then, combining the MX DCP-0 Stock, XRK Rush Rear Grip, and MX Pro Mag will significantly boost your movement speed, allowing you to dart around the map while firing off a ton of Shotgun shells. You’ll find a slow ADS speed with this build so stick to close range where hip-fire can dominate.

Best Perks & Equipment for MX Guardian in Modern Warfare 2

• Base Perk 1: Bomb Squad
• Base Perk 2: Scavenger
• Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
• Ultimate Perk: Quick Fix
• Tactical: Flash Grenade
• Lethal: Semtex

As you’ll be using Modern Warfare 2’s MX Guardian at close-range, you’ll want to equip the Bomb Squad Perk to prevent a rogue Semtex or Frag Grenade from cutting your streak short. Scavenger is essential to stay topped up on ammo, and Fast Hands allows you to reload the MX Guardian quickly. Finally, Quick Fix will ensure you’re quickly regaining health after each kill.

For Equipment, Flash Grenades will blind your opponents for a quick and easy kill, and Semtex deals solid splash damage to gain the upper hand.

How to unlock MX Guardian in Modern Warfare 2
