If you’re looking for versatile weaponry capable of performing in all scenarios, assault rifles in the Modern Warfare 4 (MW4) beta is the category you should consider before loading into the action. The small selection of rifles available in the pre-launch build excels in mid-range engagements, giving you plenty of versatility on the battlefield. After some initial testing, some stand out from the crowd thanks to their excellent damage output. Here, find all the intel on the best assault rifle loadouts to use in the MW4 beta.
What Is the Best MW4 Beta Assault Rifle Loadout?
After performing some extensive testing across several multiplayer modes, the HAN 86 is the most well-rounded rifle available during the beta. Featuring a moderate rate of fire and recoil that can be difficult to control, this build gives you much-needed control and additional firepower:
- ZLR Type C (Optic)
- XRK Mil-Tac Suppressor (Muzzle)
- FSS Fireline Grip (Underbarrel)
- EXP Umbral Pro 7 (Stock)
- Schlager VISIV-5 (Laser)
This build offers a wide range of upgrades, making the HAN 86 much stronger in mid-range and long-distance combat. Additional damage from the Suppressor reduces the time to kill (TTK) even further, while the Laser offers a faster aim-down-sight speed.
Best MW4 Low Recoil Assault Rifle Loadout
For maximum control of an assault rifle in the MW4 beta, recoil reduction is key if you want to ensure high levels of accuracy during a match. After comparing and contrasting each available rifle, the M4 delivers excellent control in the heat of battle.
The build below ensures your shots remain on target:
- FSS IS300 (Muzzle)
- FSS Fireline Grip (Underbarrel)
- Brace DX Grip (Rear Grip)
- PF1 Fixed Stock (Stock)
- SZ Gen.6 PEQ (Laser)
What Are the Best MW4 Beta Perks?
With only a limited selection of Perks to choose from in the MW4 beta, some stand out from the crowd thanks to the benefits they provide on the battlefield. Having tested all of the available Perks, this combination is best for the beta:
- Ninja (Perk 1)
- Bomb Squad (Perk 2)
- Battle Hardened (Perk 3)
Ninja significantly reduces footstep audio, making it much harder for the enemy to hear your movements around the map. Bomb Squad allows you to take less explosive damage, which is particularly useful when capturing objectives and navigating busy areas of the map.
Lastly, Battle Hardened reduces the effect of enemy tactical equipment. In game modes where flash grenades are used to check corners, this Perk is essential to prevent the full impact of the grenade from getting you killed.
