Guide: Modern Warfare 4’s Best Guns In Multiplayer
A multiplayer guide ranks eight weapons for Modern Warfare 4, based on launch weekend testing, to help players choose which guns to level first. It says the game’s fast time to kill and movement make several weapon types viable, with strong options for both aggressive play and more measured approaches.
The Oris 8.6 marksman rifle is the guide’s favourite, capable of downing enemies with a chest or head shot while firing quickly enough for follow-up shots. Other picks include the ISO Nightshade and PPSH-41 SMGs, the beginner-friendly M4, Patriot XMR, Rezi 12 shotgun, FINN LMG and KG-7 Vulcan sniper rifle; suggested attachments and perks can tailor them to different play styles.
In short
- The guide ranks eight multiplayer weapons to prioritise.
- The Oris 8.6 is its top pick.
- SMGs, rifles, a shotgun and an LMG also feature.
Explained simply
Modern Warfare 4 is a first-person shooter with multiplayer matches in which players choose weapons and compete against other players. Guns differ in range, firing speed and handling, while movement and the time it takes to defeat an opponent affect how they perform.
Players can improve weapons by using them to unlock attachments, which change features such as accuracy or recoil. Perks are separate abilities that can support different approaches, from moving quickly and attacking up close to holding a position at longer range.
