Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is full of both new and returning weapons for players to rank up, complete challenges for, and dominate lobbies with.
In BO6, the triumphant return of the XM4 assault rifle describes it as a full-auto AR that is “a well-rounded weapon with average accuracy, mobility, and power among its counterparts.” This means that it’s a jack of all trades and a master of none, but we can build off of that in the Gunsmith to turn it into a formidable long-range weapon that can hold its own up close as well.
Here’s our pick for the best attachments, Perks, and more for the XM4 in BO6.
Best XM4 loadout and class setup in BO6
The XM4 is the base assault rifle in BO6, but don’t let that scare you away from it, even once you’ve leveled up several guns. This gun is going to be a favorite among players in casual play and competitive games alike.
Best XM4 build in Black Ops 6
- Optic: Merlin Mini
- Barrel: Long Barrel (Damage Range)
- Magazine: Extended Mag I (Magazine Ammo Capacity)
- Rear Grip: Commando Grip (Aim Down Sight Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed)
- Fire Mods: Rapid Fire (Fire Rate)
When it comes to holding down enemies at range, the XM4 is one of the best options in BO6 for assault rifle players and Hardpoint anchors. And with the Rapid Fire Fire Mod equipped, it will easily shred through the enemy’s HP.
I really like Rapid Fire’s ability to melt away a health bar, but its recoil can be tough to handle. If you find it too much to deal with, swap out the Rapid Fire for an Underbarrel like a Vertical Foregrip or Precision Foregrip, especially if you’re looking to post up and take enemies down from far away.
Best XM4 class setup in Black Ops 6
Equipment
- Pistol: GS45
- Melee: Knife
- Tactical: Concussion
- Lethal: Semtex
- Field Upgrade: Trophy System
Perks and class setup
- Perk one: Flak Jacket
- Perk two: Dispatcher
- Perk three: Guardian
- Perk four: Gung-Ho
- Wildcard: Perk Greed
- Specialty: Strategist
Combining Perk Greed with the Strategist Specialty is a fun combination for public lobbies where you can rack up score quite easily.
- Strategist: Earn a score bonus for objectives and destroying enemy content, see enemy content through walls a short distance, deploy equipment and Field Upgrades faster.
You can line up some easy Scorestreaks with Strategist, and as a long-range AR player in modes like Hardpoint or Domination, you can post up on a point or while facing an enemy spawn to get your score up quickly to fill the sky with things like UAVs and Counter UAVs to add on to your score as your team runs it up.
