One of the most dominant weapons in Modern Warfare 2 since the release of the second season has been the TAQ 56. Thanks to its low recoil, high damage output, and fast movement speed, it has the fastest TTK (Time To Kill) in the game's multiplayer and ranked modes.

With the right attachments, this gun is perfect for all ranges, as it has fast sprint-to-fire capabilities and a high damage range for enemies in the distance.

The best attachments for the TAQ 56 in Modern Warfare 2 are:

  • Muzzle: FJX Fulcrum Pro
  • Ammunition: 5.56 High-Velocity
  • Magazine: 60-Round Mag
  • Stock: TV Cardinal Stock
  • Rear Grip: FSS Combat Grip

The FJX Fulcrum Pro muzzle is required for a decrease in recoil, making the weapon easily controllable. This attachment increases ADS speed and aiming stability, which can be countered by equipping other attachments.

The 5.56 High-Velocity ammunition will help players when shooting enemies at long distances. Even though the TAQ 56 has good bullet velocity, equipping this attachment will make the weapon feel more powerful.

Meanwhile, the high-capacity 60 Round magazine will be helpful in situations where the player is overwhelmed with enemies in Modern Warfare 2.

TV Cardinal Stock attachment helps decrease the weapon's total weight and increases the player's movement while walking and sprinting. Lastly, the FSS Combat Grip further improves the recoil control of the weapon, practically allowing for a point-and-shoot experience.

The aforementioned attachments will make TAQ 56 a powerful weapon in ranked and multiplayer game modes of Modern Warfare 2. If players are not comfortable using the weapon's iron sight, they can remove the 5.56 High-Velocity attachment and replace it with their preferred choice of Optic attachment.

In terms of tuning, the feature will only be available to those who have fully leveled up the weapon. These players can set the sliders to "ADS speed" and "Aiming Stability" for maximum performance. However, players should keep in mind that tuning a weapon in Ranked Mode is disabled.
