With the meta expected to change, the XM4 is growing in popularity once again. Armed with a fast rate of fire and impressive mobility, the assault rifle (AR) excels in mid-range engagements and in some cases it can compete at close-quarters.

This build will seem familiar to fans of Black Ops Cold War's selection of assault rifles. The improvements to damage drop-off and recoil make the XM4 extremely easy to control in long-distance duels without hindering mobility levels.
Best Warzone XM4 attachments
The XM4 can be a really great gun if you set it up correctly for Warzone. Given how Warzone plays, you'll want to focus on boosting range and reducing recoil/drop-off. Here are the best attachments to use.
- Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
- Barrel: 13.5” Task Force
- Optic: Axial Arms 3x
- Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
- Magazine: STANAG 60 Round
This set of attachments bolsters its strafe and movement speed drastically. Selecting the 60-round magazine is a no-brainer. It minimises the need for constant reloading giving you more time to remain in the action.
With the Warzone meta shifting to two assault rifles or a sniper and assault rifle combo, the XM4 is a perfect close-range weapon with excellent mobility; negating the need for an SMG.
Best Warzone XM4 perks and equipment
Once you've set up your XM4 using the attachments above you will want to consider a deadly combination of Perks and Equipment in order to excel on Caldera and Rebirth Island. Here are our recommendations.
Grenades
- Semtex (Lethal)
- Stim (Tactical)
Selecting grenades is personal preference but on this occasion, we have selected the Semtex/Stim combination. Use the stun grenade to slow down the movement of an opponent and follow it up with a Semtex to deal the killer blow.
Perks
- EOD (Perk 1)
- Overkill (Perk 2)
- Combat Scout (Perk 3)
EOD increases resistance to explosives while Overkill enables you to run two primary weapons. The third and final Perk is Combat Scout. This Perk highlights a target once your shots have landed, making them very easy to spot during a match.
Is the XM4 good in Warzone?
Following the Season 5 Reloaded update, the XM4 is a viable option in the final days of Caldera. In my opinion, the high mobility makes all the difference when it comes to outgunning any opponent in mid-range combat and thanks to the lack of damage drop-off, it will feature in the meta in some capacity.
