The Chimera is an Assault Rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which was added to the game in the Season 1 Reloaded update.

As previously mentioned, the Chimera is one of the most versatile Assault Rifles in Modern Warfare 2. Thanks to its high mobility attributes, it can be wielded as both an Assault Rifle and an SMG. This makes the weapon viable for all Modern Warfare 2 maps, as combat in the game mostly occurs in close to medium ranges, unlike in Warzone 2.

Before players begin with their loadouts, they must first unlock the weapon. To do so, they will have to get two kills using an Assault Rifle in 15 different matches. That is extremely easy to do in Modern Warfare 2 and can be completed within a couple of minutes.

Once the Chimera has been acquired, players are recommended to level up the weapon so that the various attachment slots for it becomes available for use.

Once unlocked, the following attachments are needed to get the best loadout for Chimera in Season 3 Reloaded:

  • Barrel: 6.5" EXF Vorpal
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Underbarrel: Schlager Tango
  • Rear Grip: Bruen Flash Grip
  • Stock: Ravage-10

Best attachments for Chimera in Modern Warfare 2

Barrel: The 6.5" EXF Vorpal improves the movement speed of the character along with the aim down sight speed. This enables players to play more aggressively and get up close to their enemies.

Laser: The VLK LZR 7MW also helps with mobility. It enhances the aim down sight speed and the sprint-to-fire speed. The attachment also helps players stabilize their aim. However, the laser it emits is visible to enemies, so it is not recommended to play defensively.

Underbarrel: The Schlager Tango enhances the weapon's accuracy. It improves hip fire accuracy, aim walking steadiness, and overall recoil steadiness.

Rear Grip: The Bruen Flash Grip, like the VLK LZR 7MW, also boosts the aim down sight speed and the sprint-to-fire speed.

Stock: The Ravage-10 helps with mobility. It enhances the crouch movement speed, sprint speed with the gun equipped, and the aim down sight speed, facilitating offensive plays.


These are the best attachments for the Chimera in Season 3 Reloaded of Modern Warfare 2. However, it is worth noting that this loadout was built only for the maps of MW2 and will not fare well in Warzone 2.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 3 Reloaded is live. The update is available on PC (via Battle.net and Steam), Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
