List of Contents
Muzzle | L4R Flash Hider |
---|---|
Barrel | 16.5" MCW Cyclone Long Barrel |
Rear Grip | RB Claw-PSL Grip |
Underbarrel | Bruen Tactical Vertical Grip |
Optic | DF105 Reflex Sight |
The attachments above were selected to further enhance the MCW's core strength, which is the ability to eliminate foes at any given range without punishing bullet velocity range and firing stability.
For the Muzzle, we went with the L4R Flash Hider which greatly improves Recoil Control and Gun Kick Control. The Barrel is attached with the 16.5" MCW Cyclone Long Barrel to increase Bullet Range and travel time.
We've also pitched in the RB Claw-PSL Grip and Bruen Tactical Vertical Grip to help with Firing Stability so as to control the MCW better when shooting at your targets from long-range. For Optics, it's all personal preference but we went with the DF105 Reflex Sight as the dot crosshair offers the least obstructive view.

This MCW class is built around a playstyle that focuses on holding down key objectives, while still being able to charge towards the enemy team's locations.
The Engineer Vest should give you two Stun Grenades as utilities to hinder your opponent's movements in case they overwhelm your position. Munitions Box will come in handy as a constant source of ammo since you'll be staying within an area for majority of the time.
Eod Padding helps you in resisting grenade explosions if ever the enemy decides to flush you out of your position. The Mission Control Comlink is a must-have if you want to earn killstreaks fast since you'll be gunning down your foes frequently at a safe distance.
