Modern Warfare's most prominent Assault Rifle is back in a new form for Black Ops Cold War. Also known as the Commando back in Black Ops One, we now have the XM4, and it's just as strong as it ever has been. Able to beam opponents cross-map, and still outgun many submachine guns up close, the XM4 is a haven for AR mains. But with a huge number of new attachments in the newest Call of Duty instalment, you may be wondering how to set your class up? Well, we have you covered. Here are the best XM4 class & attachments Black Ops Cold War

BEST XM4 CLASS FOR MULTIPLAYER 

Using an Assault Rifle in Multiplayer can have varied results depending on the build that you make. By builder counter-intuitive attachments your gun will be ineffective, so it’s best to optimise a certain area. The meta of multiplayer lies with speed and accuracy up close, making it strong against both longer-ranged Assault Rifles and Submachine Guns. You'll want to choose attachments that excel in mobility and speed, whilst having as few negative impacts as possible. Here's what we recommend...

  • Barrel - 13.5” Task Force
  • Stock - Wire Stock
  • Handle - Airborne Elastic Wrap
  • Muzzle - Agency Suppressor
  • Ammo - Jungle-Style Mag

Like in Modern Warfare, the magazine attachment will turn your XM4 into almost a submachine gun. it will increase fire rate at the expense of damage velocity, increasing its capability up close. The foregrip is almost a replica of the Merc Foregrip that we have been accustomed to for the last year, increasing ADS and hip-fire accuracy. The Airborne Elastic Wrap contributes to quicker ADS too, and the suppressor will keep you off the radar, making these the best XM4 class & attachments in Cold War.

BEST XM4 CLASS FOR WARZONE

Warzone is set to integrate with Black Ops Cold War on December 10, but this doesn’t stop players practising with weapons that will excel in a battle royale. For Assault Rifles, you’ll want to optimize the range and stability. You will want to pick attachments that complement its damage range and recoil too. With this recommended class, you will be able to stand back and pick off enemies at will.

  • Barrel - 13.7” Takedown
  • Underbarrel - Foregrip
  • Handle - Airborne Elastic Wrap
  • Muzzle - Suppressor
  • Ammo - Salvo 50 Round Fast Mag

The differences here lie with the barrel which improves the damage range, and the magazine which adds a speedy reload time alongside a large clip full to the brim of punishing bullets. You’ll also swap the wire stock for a foregrip which will keep your recoil to a minimum. With this blend, you’ll have the best XM4 class & attachments in Black Ops Cold War to prepare for Warzone.
