Best TAQ-V loadout and class setup in Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has eight different categories for primary weapons. The classics are there, including assault rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, light machine guns, and more.

But there are a few different ones in MW2 that may be new to some players, including marksman rifles and battle rifles. One of the battle rifles is the TAQ-V, which is part of the Tactique Verte platform, and players can unlock it by leveling up the TAQ-56.

The in-game description for the TAQ-V says its “moderate fire rate, heavy-hitting 7.62 rounds, and controllable recoil make the TAQ-V a solid contender for medium to long-range engagements.” Keep that in mind when making a loadout with one.

The TAQ-V is in the battle rifle category of MW2, but make no mistake, this is an assault rifle in everything but name. It’s the SCAR-H from Modern Warfare 2019, meaning it’s an AR with a slower fire rate but high damage.

Here’s the best way to equip the TAQ-V with attachments in MW2 during season two.

Best TAQ-V loadout and class setup in MW2

• Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40
• Barrel: 18′ Precision-6 Barrel
• Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
• Magazine: 30 Round Mag
• Rear Grip: FSS Combat Grip

Secondary: Preferred pistol or Combat Knife
Tactical: Stun Grenade
Lethal: Semtex
Perk Package: Battle Hardened and Double Time, Fast Hands, Ghost
Field Upgrade: Dead Silence

The TAQ-V is a powerful gun hampered by its magazine size, so the 30 Round Mag attachment is worth it to buff your base mag of 20. It functions rather well on its own otherwise, but we can buff it elsewhere with a few key attachments.

Using this set, the TAQ-V gets a nice buff to its damage, range, accuracy, and recoil control. For preference, though, you might want to swap out one of the above attachments for an optic if you don’t like the iron sights, but they’re pretty solid on their own.

• Muzzle: Bore-490
• Barrel: 18″ Precision-6 Barrel
• Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
• Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity
• Magazine: 50 Round Drum

Secondary: Preferred pistol or Combat Knife
Tactical: Stun Grenade
Lethal: Semtex
Perk Package: Battle Hardened and Double Time, Fast Hands, Ghost
Field Upgrade: Dead Silence

An alternative version of the loadout above, this one is similar in function but leans heavily into the assault rifle build by relying on the 50 Round Magazine and more extreme recoil changes from the muzzle attachment.
