Ultimate XM4 Loadout Guide for Warzone

With the introduction of Black Ops 6 into Warzone, players are treated to an array of new weapons, one of which is the XM4. This adaptable assault rifle has already made a mark in multiplayer gameplay and is well-suited for the expansive Area 99 map.

The XM4 is poised to succeed in Season 1, thanks to its low recoil and impressive versatility. As a multifunctional weapon, it strikes a perfect balance between power and usability, setting itself up as a formidable option alongside other meta weapons.

To truly leverage the XM4’s capabilities, the right attachments, perks, and equipment are essential. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the ultimate XM4 loadout for dominating Warzone.

Optic: Jason Armory 2x
Muzzle: Suppressor
Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Magazine: Extended Mag 2
Rear Grip: Commando Grip
Stock: Balanced Stock
Fire Mods: 5.56 Nato Overpressured

This optimized XM4 loadout focuses on enhancing damage output, bullet velocity, and recoil management. While it excels in medium-range combat, it remains agile and accurate for both close-quarters skirmishes and long-range engagements.

The Jason Armory 2x optic is ideal for maintaining precision without hindering close-range performance due to its moderate magnification level.

Equipping the Commando Grip ensures stealthy gameplay as it keeps you off the minimap, though players who prioritize recoil control might consider the Compensator as an alternative.

The combination of the Reinforced Barrel and 5.56 Nato Overpressured Ammo Mod greatly increases bullet velocity, expanding your effective range against distant targets. Furthermore, the Vertical Foregrip enhances your aim stability for better accuracy.

To ensure swift mobility, the Balanced Stock and Commando Grip contribute to improved ADS (Aim Down Sights) and sprint-to-fire speeds, keeping you agile during intense firefights. Lastly, the Extended Mag 2 allows for 60 rounds, letting you eliminate multiple enemies before requiring a reload.

Essential Perks and Equipment for the XM4 Class

Perk 1: Dexterity
Perk 2: Quick Fix
Perk 3: Tempered
Wildcard: Gunfighter
Lethal Equipment: Semtex
Tactical Equipment: Smoke Grenade

The Dexterity perk is crucial for improving accuracy during fast maneuvers such as jumping, sliding, or diving, effectively reducing fall damage—a vital asset for tactical plays.

Quick Fix is a classic choice that enables immediate health recovery post-kill or armor plate application, while Tempered reduces the number of plates needed to fully armor up, enhancing your survival during combat.

Utilizing the Gunfighter Wildcard is recommended, as it allows for three additional attachments, maximizing the XM4’s potential. Alternatively, Overkill can be deployed to carry a secondary weapon, though finding an SMG during gameplay is typically straightforward.

Concerning equipment, a blend of Semtex for explosive damage and Smoke Grenades for cover creates a balanced setup—allowing for quick repositioning or stealthy retreats.
