Across the opening weekend of the Modern Warfare 4 (MW4) beta, one assault rifle in particular has captured the attention of players looking to make an impact on the battlefield. The M4 is a staple of the Call of Duty franchise, featuring a blistering rate of fire and one of the fastest times to kill out of the entire weapon arsenal. As a result, it’s become a popular choice if you’re aiming to score huge kill totals over the course of a match. Here, take a look at the best low-recoil M4 loadout to use in MW4 to ensure your shots always hit the target.
Best MW4 Low Recoil M4 Build

Even without any attachments, the M4 is an excellent weapon to use in the MW4 beta. As you unlock more attachments, the key is to address recoil and long-range performance in order to improve the rifle’s versatility. The build below does just that:
- SZ Gen.6 PEW Bright ADS Laser (Laser)
- T ZL-110 V1 Flash Hider (Muzzle)
- FSS Fireline Grip (Underbarrel)
- No Stock (Stock)
- 5.56 Nato High Velocity (Ammunition)
This particular build has already captured the attention of several esports pros competing in the Call of Duty League. The majority of attachments focus on enhancements in mobility and handling, making it perfect for a fast pace of play.
For more stability, I recommend replacing the No Stock attachment with the PF1 Fixed. This suits a more passive style of play, allowing you to pick off enemies from afar. Whichever attachment you decide to use, recoil and accuracy levels remain at a minimum at all times.
Best MW4 M4 Perks
Alongside a great attachment combination for the best MW4 M4 build, you’ll want the strongest Perks capable of enhancing your performance even further. Below is the strongest trio to use right now:
- Ninja (Perk 1)
- Bomb Squad (Perk 2)
- Blood Rush (Perk 3)
Battle Hardened doesn’t unlock until Level 28, which is where Blood Rush comes into its own. With kills replenishing stamina alongside longer Tactical Sprint and faster crouching speed, it’s very easy to use movement to gain the upper hand.
Ninja is a must-use in the MW4 beta due to the loud footstep audio giving away your location as you navigate the map. The quieter footsteps allow you to sneak behind enemy lines and eliminate any unsuspecting opponents with ease.
Best MW4 M4 Alternatives

If you’re looking for an alternative to the M4, several MW4 assault rifles are viable options for multiplayer action. The Kastov 762 delivers huge levels of firepower, but recoil levels can be tricky to tame at longer distances.
Elsewhere, the Hyeon Burst delivers punishing burst-fire rounds and lethal accuracy. An excellent alternative to the fully automatic options.
That’s all there is to know about the best MW4 M4 low recoil build to use. For more Call of Duty, be sure to stay tuned to GamesHorizon for the latest intel.
