According to WhosImmortal, he’s loving this weapon loadout and says it’s “really going to thrive over long ranges.” So let’s get into exactly what he recommends to dominate the map.

For the ammo, he selects the 5.56 high-velocity rounds to help with range and accuracy. He slots it in the default 75-round mag, so you shouldn’t have to reload after an elimination or two.

To help make the weapon more consistent in terms of recoil, WhosImmortal goes with the Edge-47 grip underbarrel.

In terms of the optic, he does say it’s mostly preference, but uses the AIM OP-V4 himself.
