While the XM4 is often overlooked, this early-game AR is one of the best guns in Black Ops Cold War. While it doesn\u2019t boast the highest damage output when compared to the game\u2019s FFAR or Krig 6, it\u2019s arguably the most reliable pick all around. If you\u2019re willing to give this AR a go, you\u2019ll have access to a consistent weapon that can down multiple targets across all ranges. Here\u2019s an overview of the best possible loadouts for all play styles to get the most out of the XM4 in Black Ops Cold War. How to unlock the XM4 in Black Ops Cold War Unlocking the XM4 in Black Ops Cold War is incredibly simple and won\u2019t take you long at all. There are no challenge requirements, you\u2019ll just need to reach level 4 in-game to unlock the assault rifle. Now you\u2019ve got your hands on the XM4, you\u2019ll need a top-tier loadout to get the most out of the weapon. Luckily below, we\u2019ve listed five of the best XM4 class setups available in Blacks Ops Cold War. Most accurate XM4 loadout Attachments Optic: Microflex LED &#8211; Muzzle: SOCOM Eliminator &#8211; Barrel: 13.5 Reinforced Heavy &#8211; Body: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight &#8211; Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip &#8211; Magazine: 40 Rnd &#8211; Handle: Airborne Elastic Wrap &#8211; Stock: Raider Pad &#8211; Secondary 1911 &#8211; Perks Perk 1: Flak Jacket &#8211; Perk 2: Gearhead &#8211; Perk 3: Ghost &#8211; Equipment Lethal: Frag Grenade &#8211; Tactical: Stimshot &#8211; Field Upgrade: Field Mic &#8211; Wildcard Gunfighter &#8211; While other Wildcards can be solid to get you more perks or more equipment, Gunfighter is essential to help the XM4 reach its full potential. Dropping in with eight unique attachments will make you a real threat on the map. You can pick and choose whichever Optic you\u2019d like. Though with most ARs, you never want to limit your overall vision. Selecting a smaller sight can help keep you aware of everything nearby, rather than scoping in and having tunnel vision ruin your streak. Since the XM4 is an all-around solid weapon, there\u2019s no need to deviate from its general strength. Attachments like the Field Agent Grip, SOCOM Eliminator, and even the Laser Sight will help keep your shots accurate.

Long-range XM4 loadout Attachments Optic: Visiontech 2x &#8211; Muzzle: SOCOM Eliminator &#8211; Barrel: 13.5 Reinforced Heavy &#8211; Body: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight &#8211; Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip &#8211; Magazine: Salvo 50 Rnd Fast Mag &#8211; Handle: Airborne Elastic Wrap &#8211; Stock: Raider Pad &#8211; Secondary 1911 &#8211; Perks Perk 1: Paranoia &#8211; Perk 2: Assassin &#8211; Perk 3: Ghost &#8211; Equipment Lethal: Frag Grenade &#8211; Tactical: Stimshot &#8211; Field Upgrade: Assault Pack &#8211; Wildcard Gunfighter &#8211; If you\u2019re looking for a long-distance variant with the XM4, we\u2019ve got you covered. ARs can be surprisingly lethal from across the map and this setup proves just that. Thanks to a focus on accurate attachments, your shots will be landing no matter the range. Take the 13.5 Reinforced Heavy Barrel, for instance. This comes with the perfect tradeoff to maximize both bullet velocity and overall range. Rather than hindering one or the other, it\u2019s a solid middle ground so that you can get the best of both worlds. There\u2019s no use having an extreme range attachment if you have to lead your shots by a huge amount. Meanwhile, the Visiontech 2x ensures you\u2019ll constantly be able to land those lethal head and body shots. After you\u2019ve zeroed in on your target, simply hold down the trigger and get racking up those all-important multi-kills.

With this setup, you\u2019ll be ready to take anyone down. The Field Agent Grip is a staple for any AR class, according to CDL pro Octane.
