Best M4 loadout in Warzone Season 5: Attachments, class setup, how to unlock, and more

Call of Duty Warzone received a list of new weapons in Season 5, but the best M4 loadout remains one of the most popular choices in the game. It is a flexible weapon with a beginner-friendly recoil kick and a respectable damage output that can be enhanced with a few tweaks in the build. The M4’s ability shines the most in medium and some long-range gunfights. However, it does not have close-quarter combat capabilities.

Warzone (WZ) can put squads in dangerous scenarios where your loadout will become the first and last line of defense. This is why you must build a class that can suit your playstyle and help you dominate the online lobby. Fortunately, the M4 is a flexible weapon that can be engineered for different situations.

This article will highlight the best M4 loadout in Warzone Season 5.

The VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor muzzle increases recoil control, bullet velocity, and damage range while keeping you off the radar during gunfights.

The Hightower 20” barrel attachment increases bullet velocity, bullet range, recoil control, and hip fire accuracy.

The Corio Eagleseye 2.5x optic is excellent for this build as it provides a clear zoomed image in Aim Down Sight (ADS) mode.

The Agent Grip underbarrel increases aiming idle sway and hip fire accuracy.

The 60-round extended magazine is important to have in the battle royale for simultaneous gunfights.
