Before we dive in, you must understand that this weapon is not the strongest in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, but it does fulfill its shortcomings with its negligible recoil. So, this guide will be based on maximizing the potential of this weapon by focusing more on its accuracy and firepower. Here is the build for XM4:

  • Optic: PrismaTech Reflex
  • Muzzle: Compensator
  • Underbarrel: Launcher – Standard
  • Magazine: Extended Mag II
  • Fire Mods: Rapid Fire

Let’s start with the optic. You can use the PrismaTech Reflx optic, as it is clean and minimal. However, it does boil down to what your preferences are. Let’s say you usually get the upper hand in mid-range battles; feel free to take bigger-range optics.

Next, you should absolutely go for the Compensator. Without a doubt, it’s the best attachment that you can equip for any weapon.

For the under barrel, you should definitely go for the Launcher – Standard. This attachment throws a grenade that explodes on impact and has a moderate blast radius.

With the Extended Mag II, you will have a 60-bullet magazine size. It is very crucial to use this attachment, especially in fast-paced FPS games like BO6. I use this attachment because I do a lot of pre-firing and also don’t waste much time reloading the weapon.

In the Fire Mods, make sure to use the Rapid Fire mod, as it increases the fire rate of XM4, resulting in extra firepower.

Best Equipment and Perks for XM4

Here is the best combination of equipment and perks that you can equip in XM4:

  • Tactical: Stim Shot
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Field Upgrade: Spring Mine
  • Perk 1: Gung-Ho
  • Perk 2: Bruiser
  • Perk 3: Double Time
  • Speciality: Strategist
  • Wild card: Perk Greed

When you equip three perks from the same combat specialty category, you can unlock a dedicated combat specialty. In this case, all three perks come under the Strategist combat specialty, and it will help you earn more scores for objectives and destroy enemy equipment. You can also see equipment through walls, deploy equipment, and speed up the process of field upgrades.
