This build is capable of shredding through the opposition with ease thanks to improvements in damage range and hip-fire accuracy.

The build also addresses the slow sprint-to-fire time which comes in handy when attempting to react quickly to any incoming targets.

Best Modern Warfare 2 VEL 36 attachments

Thanks to an extensive gunsmith, there are plenty of attachments to equip onto the VEL 46. Here's what we recommend for the rest of Season 6:

  • Muzzle: SA Schalldamper 99
  • Laser: Schlager ULO-66
  • Stock: VEL A-568 Collapsed
  • Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip
  • Rear Grip: ZLR Combat Grip

This set of attachments guarantees a fast time to kill and movement speed that makes it very easy to navigate the map. The Schalldampfer 99 muzzle provides a slight increase in bullet velocity and recoil control while the remaining attachments help improve sprint-to-fire speed and accuracy when firing from the hip.

Overall, this build is perfect for close-quarters combat but it's important to be aware of its damage drop-off when attempting to take on an opponent in a long-distance duel.
