Best Modern Warfare 2 TAQ-56 loadout attachments

• Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp
• Barrel: 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel
• Magazine: 40 Round Mag
• Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
• Rear Grip: Demo Cleanshot Grip

The best Modern Warfare 2 TAQ-56 loadout starts by buffing the weapon’s recoil control with the help of the FTAC Castle Comp Muzzle and FSS Sharkfin 90 Underbarrel so that you can accurately land your shots. Next, we’ll boost the damage range with the 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel.

You’ll need to be quick in order to win matches, and the Demo Cleanshot Grip will increase the Assault Rifle’s ADS speed. Finally, the 40 Round Mag is perfect for those looking to dominate lobbies with plenty of players without the need to reload as often.

Best Perks & Equipment for Modern Warfare 2 TAQ-56 loadout

• Base Perk 1: Bomb Squad
• Base Perk 2: Double Time
• Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
• Ultimate Perk: Ghost
• Lethal Equipment: Semtex
• Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade
• Field Upgrade: Dead Silence

For the Base Perks, your best bet is Bomb Squad and Double Time, allowing you to soak up damage from incoming explosives and move around at a faster pace.

The TAQ-56 can chew through ammo pretty quickly, so using Fast Hands will improve reload speeds to ensure that you’re never out of the action for too long. Then, we think Ghost is the best Ultimate Perk to keep you off the radar throughout the match.

When it comes to Equipment, you can’t go wrong with the Semtex for a quick and easy kill, paired with Flash Grenades to cause havoc on objective-based modes.

Dead Silence should be the go-to Field Upgrade, making your footsteps silent to get the drop on unsuspecting enemies.
