This combination of perks aims to improve movement speed when using the M4 in the heat of battle. The Infantry vest increases the length of Tactical Sprint, while Quick-Grip gloves give you the option to switch to your secondary weapon as fast as possible.
For some additional resistance to incoming explosives, EOD padding is a surefire way of staying in amongst the action for longer. Lastly, Stalker boots feature faster strafing and aim-down sight speeds that are perfect for improving reaction times.
Equipment
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Stun Grenade
The combination of Semtex and Stun Grenade is hugely versatile. Stick a Semtex through a window to clear out any potential campers, and to stop a potential target from escaping your view. Chuck a Stun Grenade to slow their movement enough to secure the kill with minimal resistance.
