The XM4 was the first weapon available to Black Ops 6 beta players, and for good reason.

The XM4 also makes for a solid supplementary to many of the other guns in the game.

The Merlin Mini or the PrismaTech Reflex are also solid picks.

Barrel: Long Barrel

Stick theLong Barrelon the XM4 as soon as you get it.

You’ll instantly be more effective at longer range firefights and your damage range will increase nicely.

Stock: Heavy Stock

If you’re skilled at conserving ammunition, then consider picking something like the Neurogas instead.

Perks:Assassin, Dexterity, Double Time, Enforcer.
