The Patriot XMR is one of the best assault rifles in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, but you’ll need the right loadout to make it competitive with other weapons. The Patriot XMR is one of the harder-hitting rifles available in Modern Warfare 4, making it an excellent choice for players who prefer taking enemies down from medium and long distances. However, you need some specific attachments to get the most out of the Patriot XMR.

Below, you can see the best Patriot XMR loadout to use in Modern Warfare 4 multiplayer.

Best loadout for the Patriot XMR in Modern Warfare 4

The Patriot XMR is designed to kill enemies quickly at longer ranges, so we want to build its loadout around recoil control and damage range. Of course, we also can’t make the Patriot XMR too slow if you happen to get into close range gunfights. This is slightly different than how other ARs are built, as the M4’s loadout in MW4 is much more versatile.

  • Muzzle: EXP Undertow Gen. 2
  • Underbarrel: FSS Fireline Grip
  • Magazine: 35 Round Mag
  • Rear Grip: Schlager Attack-7 Grip
  • Laser: SA LAZ-500

This build is focused on making the Patriot XMR more consistent in multiplayer. The FSS Fireline Grip helps get the weapon’s recoil under control, while the EXP Undertow Gen. 2 further improves accuracy.

Meanwhile, the Schlager Attack-7 Grip and SA LAZ-500 boost the AR’s mobility, making it easier to aim and get shots on target when you’re caught in a faster-paced gunfight.

Best class setup for the Patriot XMR in Modern Warfare 4

Now that you’ve got the Patriot XMR built properly, you can complete the rest of the class with the following equipment:

Perks

  • Perk 1: Ghost
  • Perk 2: Ninja
  • Perk 3: Battle Hardened

Equipment

  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Tactical: Concussion Grenade

Field Upgrade

  • Field Upgrade: Trophy System

Secondary Weapon

  • Secondary Weapon: Sang 9mm

This class complements the Patriot XMR’s longer-range playstyle while still allowing you to compete at closer ranges against SMGs and shotguns in MW4.

And with that, your Patriot XMR loadout is done, and it’s ready to go in multiplayer. However, if you want to swap over to an SMG on a small map, check out our loadout guide for ISO Nightshade in Modern Warfare 4.
