Best Modern Warfare 2 MX Guardian attachments

  • Barrel: MX-G Mobile
  • Laser: Schlager ULQ-66 Laser
  • Stock: MX DCP-0
  • Rear Grip: XRK Rush
  • Magazine: MX Pro Mag

For enhancements to hip-fire accuracy and damage range, the MX-G Mobile barrel is the best one to use. Paired with the Schlager ULQ-66 Laser, it's very easy to spray down any opponents that stand in your crosshair.

For maximum mobility, the combination of the MX DCP-0 stock and the XRK Rush rear grip ensures you have the fastest sprint-to-fire speed to react to anyone that suddenly moves into view.

Lastly, the MX Pro Mag gives you 15 bullets in the magazine which is ideal for dealing with multiple opponents in quick succession.

Best Modern Warfare 2 MX Guardian perks and equipment

As soon as the best MX Guardian attachments are ready for battle, the next step is finding a perk package and some equipment to suit your own style of play. Here's what we recommend.

Perks

  • Base: Bomb Squad
  • Base: Battle Hardened
  • Bonus: Fast Hands
  • Ultimate: Quick Fix

The combination of Bomb Squad and Battle Hardened provides some much-needed explosive resistance and reduces the effects of incoming tactical equipment while Fast Hands allows you to swap between primary and secondary weapons as fast as possible.

Quick Fix as the Ultimate perk guarantees the fastest health regeneration possible. Simply score a kill or capture an objective to recharge quickly.

Equipment

  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Stun grenade

The trusty Semtex is great for dealing some additional damage to any nearby opponents. You can also stick it to oncoming vehicles for an explosive result. To stop anyone from escaping the crosshairs of the MX Guardian, the stun grenade slows their movement allowing you to take them out with ease.

Although Season 4 Reloaded is in its early stages, the MX Guardian is dominating close-quarters combat. The immense power of the shotgun combined with its ability to deal damage in mid-range scenarios too makes it a viable option to use during a match.
