TAQ-56 performs incredibly well in both Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2, despite the differences in how matches play out in both titles. However, this guide only focuses on the optimal attachments for the gun in the latter title. Here are the best attachments for TAQ-56:

  • Barrel: 17.5" Tundra Pro Barrel
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
  • Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp
  • Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
  • Rear Grip: FSS Combat Grip

Here's how these attachments affect TAQ 56:

Barrel: 17.5" Tundra Pro Barrel gives a boost to the weapon's damage range as well as its bullet velocity. This ensures that shots feel snappy. While it reduces the aim down sight speeds, the other attachments mentioned will compensate for it.

Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser increases the aim-down sight speed, improves aim stability, and enhances sprint-to-fire speed. This enables players to be more accurate with the weapon and go aggressive.

Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp reduces the weapon's vertical and horizontal recoil. This further reduces the already low recoil on the weapon and makes the gun feel like its shooter lasers.

Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity, as the name suggests, increases the rifle's bullet velocity, ensuring it hits targets quicker across all distances.

Rear Grip: FSS Combat Grip assists it in controlling recoil. This enables players to go full-on auto without worrying about recoil affecting their accuracy.


That is all there is to know about the best loadout for TAQ 56 and the process of unlocking it in Modern Warfare 2 Season 1.
