You'll be happy to know that the venerable M16 is returning and is a force to be reckoned with in this competitive FPS game. We know that many of the Modern Warfare 2 weaponry have bizarre new names. Of course, the greatest Modern Warfare 2 M16 loadout must be used if you want to get the most out of this assault rifle. Fortunately, we have specifically addressed that below.
Two factors should come to mind while determining what the ideal Modern Warfare 2 M16 loadout actually requires: accuracy and damage. Since this is a burst-fire weapon, as you may already be aware, you'll want to make sure each burst hits as hard as possible while also landing as many shots as you can.
In light of this, we have put together the finest M16 build currently available as well as information on the perks, gear, and secondary weapon options that go best with a weapon of this type.
Modern Warfare 2 M16 best loadout attachments and build
There is no use in building for increased speed and mobility when you want to utilize an assault weapon like this. To make the most of the weapon, you must instead focus on its inherent strengths. In light of this, the following is the top M16 loadout available for now in Modern Warfare 2:
- Receiver: M16
- Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot
- Stock: Corio Precio Factory
- Rear Grip: None
- Laser: None
- Barrel: 14″ Carbine Shroud Barrel
- Muzzle: Forge-Tac Castle Comp
- Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40
- Ammunition: None
- Magazine: None
Although there is a case to be made for a higher magnification optic with this M16 design, the Cronen Mini Red Dot is currently the best sight available when you take into account the abundance of sightlines and opportunities for close-quarters fighting in Modern Warfare 2.
Additionally, the Lockgrip Precision-40 and Corio Precio Factory attachments also enhance this weapon's targeting stability and recoil management, which you'll want to keep an eye on given that precision is necessary for maximum effectiveness. The bullet velocity of this weapon is further increased by the 14" Carbine Shroud Barrel, so you should have a respectable TTK.
Modern Warfare 2 M16 best loadout secondary
Even if you don't anticipate using it much, having a secondary weapon in your loadout is always a good idea. That’s why we recommend getting your hands on the Side Impact weapon blueprint for the X13 Auto – this is going to keep you competitive in close-range combat where the M16 is a little slow.
Modern Warfare 2 M16 best loadout perks and equipment
You can see our tutorial to the Modern Warfare 2 perks here if you're trying to figure out how the perk system works. If you're merely searching for advice, we believe that your two base perks should be Scavenger and Battle Hardened. With the M16, ammunition is easily consumed, so Scavenger should keep you from running out—especially if you want to achieve one of the higher Modern Warfare 2 killstreaks.
Battle Hardened will also provide you some defense against flashbangs, stun grenades, DDOS EMP attacks, shock sticks, and any gas grenades you may come across. This should encourage you to stay put longer if you have located a comfortable place to sit.
We advise Spotter as the best additional perk because it will enable you to monitor opponent equipment, field upgrades, and kill streaks through barriers. Aiming down your sights while focusing on one of the aforementioned things will highlight that for your entire squad, which is another benefit.
We believe it goes without saying that you should choose Ghost if you want the ultimate perk. As you eliminate the opposing squad, this will help you remain as undetectable as possible. This should enable you to easily defeat anyone you encounter when combined with techniques like Stuns and Semtex. When you get the chance, it's also worthwhile to install the Trophy System field improvement.
That's all there is to it. This is how the ideal M16 loadout for Modern Warfare 2 is created. You desire a little speed.
