For those looking to build the best Modern Warfare 2 SO-14 loadout, here are our recommended attachments, Perks, and Equipment to use with the Battle Rifle.

Modern Warfare 2 is host to an abundance of weaponry, catering to all playstyles. Whether you play casual or Ranked Play, picking a weapon that suits your playstyle is vital, but what’s more important is the attachments, Perks, and Equipment you decide to complement it with.

For those looking to build the best Modern Warfare 2 SO-14 loadout, here are our recommendations.

Best Modern Warfare 2 SO-14 loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40
  • Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity
  • Optic: Slimline Pro
  • Stock: FTAC RTP-40 Stock
  • Rear Grip: FSS Gen. 7 Grip

For the muzzle, we’ve gone with the Sakin Tread-40, which improves the weapon’s horizontal and vertical recoil control, allowing you to stay on target, especially in fully automatic mode.

The 7.62 High Velocity ammo will boost the SO-14’s bullet velocity so that you can get the first shot on your opponent, increasing your chances to kill them quicker, especially at range.

In order to improve the weapon’s sprint to fire speed and aim down sight speed, the FSS Gen. 7 Grip is vital for this build.

Lastly, we’ve gone with the FTAC RTP-40 Stock for even more mobility, most importantly improving sprint speed and aim down sight speeds, while the Slimline Pro is a nice clean optic you can use. You can opt for an optic with more zoom if you’ll be taking on long-range sights often.
