Best XM4 loadout in Warzone
Charlie IntelWith the integration of Black Ops 6 into Warzone, all the latest weapons have been added to the battle royale, including the XM4. This versatile Assault rifle has proven to be a powerful choice in multiplayer, and it’s also the latest low-recoil rifle to become a part of the Warzone meta.
As a jack-of-all-trades weapon, it offers the perfect balance of power and stability, making it a strong contender against other meta options.
To maximize its potential, however, you’ll need the right combination of attachments, perks, and equipment. Here’s the ultimate XM4 loadout for dominating Warzone Season 1.
Best Warzone XM4 loadout attachments
Activision- Optic: Kepler Microflex
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Magazine: Extended Mag 2
- Stock: Buffer Weight Stock
The best XM4 loadout is built to maximize damage, bullet velocity, and recoil control. With this loadout, you’ll dominate medium-range engagements, but it’s also nimble and accurate enough to handle close-quarter fights.
The Kepler Microflex is our optic of choice, offering just enough magnification for close and medium-range fights. If you’re looking for a long-range sight, it’s worth trying out the Willis 3X. The Compensator muzzle provides great recoil control further boosting the weapon’s accuracy. To bolster the XM4’s bullet velocity and effective damage range, we’ve gone with the Reinforced Barrel.
Extended Mag 2 is an easy pick for the magazine slot, providing 60 bullets without impacting the reload times too much. The final attachment is the Buffer Weight Stock, which is an absolute must for any XM4 build. The stock was released as part of the Hit List event and it quickly became a fan-favorite as it completely eliminated horizontal recoil.
If you’re looking the pair the AR with the Gunfighter Wildcard, we recommend using the Reinforced Barrel and the 5.56 Nato Overpressured Ammo Mod. This will significantly boost the bullet velocity and damage range. To offset the recoil gains, it’s worth using Vertical Foregrip to stabilize your aim.
Best Perks & Equipment to use with Warzone XM4 class
Charlie Intel- Perk 1: Dexterity
- Perk 2: Quick Fix
- Perk 3: Tempered
- Wildcard: Gunfighter
- Lethal Equipment: Semtex
- Tactical Equipment: Smoke Grenade
The Dexterity perk enhances your accuracy while jumping, sliding, and diving, making it invaluable in fast-paced combat. Additionally, it reduces fall damage, which is especially useful for quick escapes or chasing down weakened enemies.
Quick Fix returns as a fan-favorite perk, offering immediate health regeneration after eliminating an enemy or applying an armor plate. Similarly, Tempered makes a comeback, allowing you to fully armor up with just two plates instead of three, giving you a significant edge in firefights.
The Gunfighter Wildcard is always a solid choice if you want to equip three additional attachments. Alternatively, you could opt for Overkill to carry two primary weapons, but picking up an SMG during gameplay is often easy enough.
For equipment, a combination of Semtex and Smoke Grenades is a reliable choice. The Semtex provides quick and effective splash damage, while the Smoke Grenade creates cover, allowing you to move between positions or escape enemy fire unnoticed.
