According to The Los Angeles Guerillas TikTok account, equipping the XTEN Angel-40 makes long shots “easier than ever before,” as this optic shows exactly how far you’re shooting in meters.
Equipping it will ensure that you know the exact distance between you and your opponents. You can look through the XTEN Angel-40 optic to ensure that your target is at the long-shot distance requirement for the Modern Warfare 2 weapon class that you’re currently using.
Each weapon class has a different long-shot requirement in terms of meters, and knowing these will be helpful when you use the XTEN Angel-40 optic.
Here are the long-shot distance requirements for every weapon class in Modern Warfare 2:
- Battle Rifles: 38 meters
- LMGs: 38 meters
- Marksman Rifles: 38 meters
- Pistols: 20 meters
- Shotguns: 12.5 meters
- SMGs: 30 meters
- Sniper Rifles: 50 meters
When talking about the XTEN Angel-40 optic, the Los Angeles Guerillas TikTok account advised: “Slap this thing on and good luck. Because at the end of the day, it’s still long shots, and you are going to need this.”
