Best TAQ-56 loadout in Modern Warfare 2

This TAQ-56 loadout is the best we’ve come across, because it strikes a great balance between low recoil and high stopping power thanks to the below array of attachments. We’ve put a lot of focus on increasing ADS speed while also improving recoil control, so you can keep the gun feeling light and snappy while you mow down enemies.

Another attachment which steadies the rifle’s recoil is theFTAC Ripper 56Underbarrel, which increases hipfire accuracy, recoil stabilisation, and aiming idle stability. And theFSS Combat Gripfurther increases recoil control at the cost of some of that aiming stability we just added with the Ripper.

Finally, add your choice of close-range Optic - for us, the default is always theCronen Mini Profor its impressively clear sight and clean blue dot.
