The XM4, while consistently popular in Black Ops Cold War, has struggled to make a significant and long-term impact in Verdansk. That could be changing though, with Season 4 seeing the XM4 explode in popularity. The assault rifle\u2019s high damage and fast fire rate make it a monster at close to medium ranges, with many players even beginning to use it as a SMG of sorts. NICKMERCS has been among those singing the weapon\u2019s praises, but he believes controller players have an advantage while using the Cold War weapon. In his July 3 YouTube video, he discussed the changes Raven have made to the XM4, and why pairing it with a Kar98k is the perfect Overkill class. He didn\u2019t discount using the weapon as a keyboard and mouse player, just caveated it by stating the strafe and recoil may me more difficult to operate cohesively. \u201cOne of my favorite things about this XM4 class is the mobility,\u201d he said. \u201cI think being a controller player this is one of those times where I have to understand that aim assist works towards the advantage of the weapon. There\u2019s a lot of guns in Warzone that have a good amount of strafe speed. \u201cSo any gun where you\u2019re moving left to right \u2013 horizontally, with good strafe speed. Aim assist is gonna be a big part of that.\u201d He finished: \u201cThe XM4 has a lot of strafe speed. So believe me when I tell you this is more so a controller player gun. Now with that being said if you\u2019re a keyboard and mouse player guy you can definitely get away with using this thing, you just gotta be really damn good.\u201d If you\u2019re struggling for an XM4 loadout, check out our recommended Warzone class loadout. However you choose to run it, it\u2019ll be worth bearing in mind the advice from one of Warzone\u2019s best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS highlights huge XM4 advantage for Warzone controller players FaZe Clan \/ ActivisionNick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff, Warzone content creator for FaZe Clan, has explained why he thinks the XM4 is better for controller players in Warzone, as opposed to their PC counterparts.
