Black Ops 6: Best XM4 Loadout and Attachments in Season 1

What's the best XM4 loadout in Black Ops 6 and Warzone? What are the best XM4 attachments in Black Ops 6 and also Warzone? As one of the first guns you will unlock in multiplayer and a mainstay in the current online meta, the XM4 will be a popular pick for the game's entire longevity. In this Black Ops 6 guide, we are going to reveal the best XM4 loadout and attachments during Season 1.

Best XM4 Loadout and Attachments in Black Ops 6 Season 1

The best XM4 loadout and attachments we recommend for Season 1 are as follows:

Optic

Merlin Mini

Muzzle

Suppressor

Barrel

Reinforced Barrel

Underbarrel

Precision Foregrip

Magazine

Extended Mag I

Equipping this setup of attachments to the XM4 leaves you with a nice and solid balance between firepower and recoil, ensuring you won't need to deal with much weapon sway as your shots accurately hit your target. Having a Suppressor means you won't appear as a red dot on the enemy mini-map while the Merlin Mini enhances your sightlines as one of the best Optic attachments in the game. The first Extended Mag means you could kill two or maybe even three enemies without needing to reload, and the Reinforced Barrel and Precision Foregrip bring all that recoil under control.

If you equip Gunfighter as your Wildcard, the XM4 becomes even better with 3 more attachments on top of the above:

Rear Grip

Commando Grip

Stock

Combat Stock

Fire Mods

Recoil Springs

One of the XM4 's greatest strengths within the Black Ops 6 is that you'll always have access to it, as it unlocks at level 4 and is also part of one of the standard custom classes the game gives you access to at the very start. You'll have to work a bit harder to craft the ultimate XM4 loadout, though, which we suggest as the following:

Pistol

Grekhova

Melee

Knife

Tactical

Flashbang

Lethal

Semtex

Field Upgrade

Scrambler

Perk 1

Ghost

Perk 2

Dispatcher

Perk 3

Bankroll

Wildcard

Gunfighter

This particular XM4 build is designed to maximise your Scorestreak usage, so make sure to equip lower Scorestreaks like UAV, Counter UAV and an offensive asset like the Napalm Strike to gain access to them as often as possible. The Scorestreaks can change the tide of a match in your favour, so having them to hand so quickly is a real asset. Besides that, the Ghost perk means you're not detected by enemy UAVs when moving and the Scrambler messes with the mini-map — something that's very helpful in objective-based modes.
