Best TAQ-M loadout in Modern Warfare 2

Our MW2 TAQ-M loadout increases its damage range considerably, along with its accuracy and ADS speed. That turns it into a 1-to-2-shot-kill monster at any range, and allows you to quickly snap to enemies and score headshots with ease.

For your final attachment, use an optic to make it easier to snap to enemies. TheHMW-20 Opticdoes a great job for the TAQ-M, but feel free to use whichever scope you personally prefer.

Best secondary weapon

Since the TAQ-M is best from a distance, we recommend using one of thebest SMGs in Modern Warfare 2as your secondary. Our guides on thebest MP5 loadoutand thebest FSS Hurricane loadoutwill set you up to shred enemies at lightning speed, as they’re some of thebest guns in Modern Warfare 2right now.

Best perks and equipment

For your first perk slot, useOverkill. It’s one of thebest perks in Modern Warfare 2, as it lets you equip two primary weapons at once.Double Timeis another excellent perk, allowing you to tactical sprint for longer.Fast Handsis a great bonus perk, as it lets you swap between weapons faster. For your final perk, useGhostto avoid popping up on enemy radars when they use a UAV.

If you get hit and need to get back in the fight quickly, use aStim Shotto regenerate back to full health in just two seconds. If your enemies are all in cover and you need to force them out, toss aThermitegrenade in their direction and then sit back and snipe as they start running.

OurLockwood Mk2 loadoutandSP-R 208 loadoutare exceptional at dropping enemies from a distance, and they’re sure to stick around in the meta when theModern Warfare 2 hardcore modearrives soon.
