The FAL Assault Rifle (AR) is a semi-automatic rifle that is very strong in mid to long-range engagements and its fire rate depends on how fast your trigger finger is! It actually sports very low recoil, so if you can unlock a few attachments you can destroy opponents with good aim and a fast trigger finger.
With Season 1 of Warzone Pacific officially underway, there's a slight chance of the FAL re-establishing itself within the ever-changing metagame but with Raven Software making regular changes to the weapon arsenal, it could also be left behind as players opt for other ARs to use.
Here's the best FAL loadout in Modern Warfare and Warzone.
JGOD's Ultimate FAL Warzone Loadout
Warzone content creator JGOD has discovered the very best FAL loadout to be using in Season 4. With the focus on dominating the mid-range and long-distance duels, this particular combination of attachments could well spark a change in the existing metagame.
- Monolithic Suppressor (Muzzle)
- XRK Marksman (Barrel)
- 30 Round Mags (Ammunition)
- VLK 3.0x Optic (Optic)
- Ranger Foregrip (Underbarrel)
This attachment combination is perfect for picking off enemies at a distance and also excels in close-quarters combat.
The combination of suppressor and barrel adds a significant improvement to damage range while the extra ammunition means there is minimal need to reload on a regular basis.

Class 1 – All About The Objective
Geared for objective players, this class can deal plenty of damage.
Attachments
- 18.0” Ultralight (Barrel)
- Forge TAC Stalker (Stock)
- Granulated Grip Tape (Rear Grip)
- Merc Foregrip (Underbarrel)

- Pointman (Perk 2)
- Battle Hardened (Perk 3)
Converting killstreaks into scorestreaks allows you to capitalise on the points earned from securing the objective. Both EOD and battle-hardened increase your resistance to the majority of lethal and tactical equipment.
Grenades
- Thermite (Lethal)
- Smoke Grenade (Tactical)
As always it is personal preference when it comes to selecting which piece of lethal equipment to use but when playing the objective, thermite can have a huge impact on enemies that are bunched together on a flag or a headquarters. As always, the smoke can be used to block a line of sight or help you escape a sticky situation.
Field Upgrades
- Trophy System
Perfect for shielding you and your teammates from incoming projectiles when securing an objective.
Killstreaks
- UAV (500 Points)
- Cluster Strike (625 Points)
- VTOL Jet (1000 Points)
These streaks are easily earned thanks to pointman and often score many kills thanks to the ability to guide the VTOL to different areas of the map to get the highest amount of kills possible. The VTOL makes for a very good defence for any objectives that are set in the open.
Class 2 – Locking It Down
Class number two is for the passive players and is extremely effective at long range.
Attachments
- XRK Marksman (Barrel)
- Rubberized Grip Tape (Rear Grip)
- APX5 Holographic Sight (Optic)

- High Alert (Perk 2)
- Tune Up (Perk 3)
Stay invisible from deadly AI killstreaks and earn your field upgrade much faster thanks to tune-up.
Grenades

When placed in the right spots, proxy mines can be extremely hard to see, often catching a lot of players out. The heartbeat sensor is ideal for identifying enemies that could be converging on your position.
Field Upgrades
- Munitions Box
Never run out of equipment or ammo by using a munitions box to resupply you and your teammates.
Killstreaks
- Cruise Missile (5 Kills)
- VTOL Jet (8 Kills)
- Chopper Gunner (10 Kills)
By using the range advantage over SMGs and shotguns, the higher killstreaks can be earned easily with the chopper gunner taking no prisoners on the battlefield.

Attachments
- 13.0” OSW Para (Barrel)
- No Stock (Stock)
- Stippled Grip Tape (Rear Grip)
- G.I Mini Reflex (Optic)
- Tactical Foregrip (Underbarrel)

- Ghost (Perk 2)
- Amped (Perk 3)
With aggressive gameplay in mind, quick fix is a good way to regenerate health when on the fly. Ghost will also keep you hidden from enemy UAVs, making it easier to navigate the map.
Grenades

- Flash Grenade (Tactical)
Molotov cocktails are good for clearing out windows and doorways to flush out any campers looking for a cheap kill. The flash grenade almost blinds an enemy, making them a very easy target.
