The M4 and Kastov 762 assault rifles are the best weapons for an assault class in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. To learn which attachments and loadout to equip for the best assault class, read on!

Best Assault Class

M4

MW2 - M4

The M4 is a great option for building an assault class given its initial damage output, recoil control, and range. Best used in small-scale game modes, the M4 can rack up kills and secure killstreaks quickly if the player utilizes it properly.

With an impressive time-to-kill and fire rate combo, the M4 is a perfect option for running an assault class in multiplayer matches. Moreover, the M4 is the most balanced assault weapon in terms of base stats so make sure to improve both damage and aim-related stats when choosing your attachments.

For a guide on the best attachments for an assault class with the M4, refer to the table below:

M4 Attachment Setup

Laser Stovl DR Laser Box
Ammunition 5.56 Overpressured +P
Barrel 14" Carbine Shroud
Underbarrel Agent Grip
Rear Grip XTEN Grip

Overall, this attachment setup for the M4 finds value if played in an aggressive run-and-gun playstyle to catch enemy players off guard. Attachments such as the Agent Grip and Stovl DR Laser Box turns this weapon into a force to be dealt with at short range encounters, with its vastly improved hip fire accuracy and hip fire control.

Given its already decent recoil control, the rest of the attachments are focused on maximizing sprint to aim speed and damage output to maintain that fast hitting playstyle.

Make sure to equip high value killstreaks such as the Chopper Gunner or Gunship to maximize the rewards of equipping this powerful weapon. The best game modes to queue for an assault class will be fast-paced game modes held in small maps such as Domination, Hardpoint, or Kill Confirmed.

Kastov 762

MW2 - Kastov 762
The Kastov 762 boasts the best damage output and fire rate combo in the assault weapons category, making it a formidable force to go up against in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. Alongside the M4 assault rifle, the Kastov 762 is a favorite for players building an assault class.

Given its quick time-to-kill stats and overall firepower, recoil control is among its weaker aspects. It is recommended for players to build an attachment setup focused on improving recoil control and ADS-related stats.

To learn the best attachments for building an assault class with the Kastov 762, refer to the table below:

Kastov 762 Attachment Setup

Barrel Kastovia 343
Underbarrel FSS Sharkfin 90
Stock KSTV-RPK Factory
Laser Stovl DR Laser Box
Rear Grip Demo-X2 Grip

The assault class attachments for the Kastov 762 enhances aiming stability without significantly compromising its damage ouput. With the STOVL DR Laser Box and Kastovia 343 barrel, the Kastov 762 finds greater value in point blank engagements.

Moreover, its long range firepower is further improved with stock and rear grip attachments that enhance controllability for the player, resulting in precise long range shots. It is recommended for players running this assault class to actively seek gunfights to fully maximize the firepower of an improved Kastov 762.

Make sure to equip ambitious killstreaks for this assault class as well to make the most out of the Kastov 762's slaying capacity.

For the assault class loadout, the combination of equipments, perks, as well as field upgrades concentrates on the player's durability. This assault class loadout is suited for players with aggressive playstyles looking to secure killstreaks that result in high frags.

The following is the best assault class loadout for both the M4 and Kastov 762:

Weapon Loadout
Secondary X13 Auto
Tactical Stun Grenade
Lethal Semtex
Base Perk 1 Double Time
Base Perk 2 Battle Hardened
Bonus Perk Hardline
Ultimate Perk Quick Fix
Field Upgrade Dead Silence/Battle Rage

This assault class loadout is best used for both the M4 and Kastov 762. To compliment the run-and-gun loadouts for these weapons, standard equipments such as the Semtex and Stun Grenade will be used to effectively enter enemy territory.

When running an assault class, it is best to prepare a perks package that ensures survivability as you will be actively engaging in gunfights throughout the match. The perks combination of Double Time, Battle Hardened, and Quick Fix improves durability as you enter enemy lines and work towards earning killstreaks.

Running two field upgrades in the form of Dead Silence and Battle Rage would be recommended as both of these increases survivability as well.
