The M16 assault rifle uses a three-round burst to shred enemies at range in Call of Duty: Warzone 2. Since there is no automatic fire mode, targeting moving enemies can be a little difficult. However, the three-round burst also makes the M16 fairly accurate.
You only need a couple of bursts to down enemies. The M16 belongs to the M4 Platform and can be unlocked by leveling up 556 Icarus to level 3 in Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone. In this guide, we’ll be going over the best M16 Loadout in Warzone 2.
M16 Loadout and Attachments
| Slot | Attachment | Unlock Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Slot | Attachment | Unlock Requirement |
| Muzzle | Harbinger D20 | STB 556 Level 18 |
| Barrel | 14” Carbine Shroud | M16 level 3 |
| Optic | Hybrid Firepoint | Lachmann-762Level 14 |
| Underbarrel | FTAC Ripper 56 | Lachmann-762 level 6 |
| Rear Grip | Sakin ZX Grip | M4 Level 8 |
The Harbinger D20 is an optimum muzzle choice for your M16 loadout in Warzone 2. It gives you damage range, recoil control, and sound impression for stealth kills. The greater recoil control compared to the Echoless-80 is key.
The 14” Carbine Shroud is another attachment that improves the M16’s recoil control, making recoil almost zero. It also boosts your hip fire if an enemy gets too close.
The Hybrid Firepoint has a dual optic setup, providing both a 3.4x magnification scope and a close-quarters scope. This allows you to be effective at the long-range and in close skirmishes.
FTAC Ripper 56 for your M16 under-barrel helps in recoil and aim stability, increasing the M16’s long-range capability.
The Sakin ZX Grip will help increase stability by providing Recoil Control, which provides good accuracy for targets up to 50 meters ahead.
