Best XM4 loadout in Warzone (Season 4)

Quick answer
The XM4 (Black Ops 6, carry-forward) is one of the easiest assault rifles in Warzone: very low recoil and a competitive long-range TTK. Long-range build: Compensator, Gain-Twist Barrel, Willis 3x optic, Extended Mag III and Buffer Weight Stock. Run it with an aggressive SMG as your secondary.
The XM4 comes from Black Ops 6 and is still fully usable in Warzone thanks to carry-forward. It's one of the easiest assault rifles to handle: almost no recoil and a solid long-range TTK. Perfect for clean mid-to-long-range play.

The best XM4 build (long range)
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
- Optic: Willis 3x
- Magazine: Extended Mag III
- Stock: Buffer Weight Stock
The goal: maximize recoil control and damage range. The Compensator steadies the first shot, the Gain-Twist Barrel extends effective range, and the Willis 3x gives a clean sight picture at distance.
The stats that matter
- Ease: 9/10 — one of the most forgiving ARs.
- TTK: competitive at long range after its buff.
- Recoil: very low, ideal if you're new or want to play safe.

Perks and secondary
The XM4 shines at range but stays vulnerable up close. Pair it with an aggressive SMG: Dravec 45 or Carbon 57. For perks, favor regeneration and mobility to hold positions and reposition fast.
When to run the XM4?
- You're new or want a no-fuss weapon: ideal pick.
- You play posted up / support at mid-to-long range.
- If you want the very last edge of performance, also look at the MXR-17 or DS20 Mirage, at the top of the current meta.
And before you drop in, check the patch notes: a buff or nerf can change things week to week.
