Best Modern Warfare 2 M4 perks and equipment
Perks work a little differently in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. After taking some time to test various combinations, we've found a solid selection alongside two pieces of equipment guaranteed to make an impact.
Perks
- Double Time (Base)
- Bomb Squad (Base)
- Fast Hands (Bonus)
- Ghost (Ultimate)
The combination of Double Time and Bomb Squad is extremely valuable over the course of a match. Increased explosive resistance combined with a double dose of Tactical Sprint allows you to navigate the map with ease.
For our Bonus perk, we've gone with Fast Hands for a faster reload speed, weapon swap speed, and equipment usage speed.
Lastly, our Ultimate perk slot is filled by Ghost. Concealing your location from any enemy UAVs when moving allows you to sneak behind enemy lines and shred through any unsuspecting opponent standing in the way.
Equipment
- Semtex (Lethal)
- Stun Grenade (Tactical)
