Best Axion loadout in Modern Warfare 4 multiplayer

The Axion is one of the better assault rifles in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, but it still needs the best possible loadout if you want to succeed with it in multiplayer. The Axion is a reliable choice for players that’s great at medium and long ranges, being more of a traditional AR. However, equipping the right attachments is still needed to get the most out of the Axion in Modern Warfare 4.

Best loadout for the Axion in Modern Warfare 4

The Axion is a solid all-around assault rifle, so we really don’t have to focus on a single key area with its loadout. However, as with most balanced ARs in multiplayer, like the Patriot XMR, you’ll want to boost damage range and recoil control before anything else so you can compete with other meta weapons at range. Of course, you also need some extra mobility to handle SMGs at close range.

• Muzzle: FTAC Dominion
• Barrel: SA DMN-L 30″
• Optic: Slimline Elite
• Stock: Cronen Blackstone-6P
• Rear Grip: GS50 Grip

This is one of the better all-around loadouts in all of Modern Warfare 4, as it makes the Axion better in every way. You see a massive damage range and bullet velocity buff with the barrel, extra recoil control from the muzzle and stock, and added mobility from the rear grip.

We’ve equipped the Slimline Elite as it’s the best red dot sight in multiplayer, but you can switch it out with something else based on your preferences.
