There are plenty of weapons in 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 that you can use to dominate the field, but few are as versatile as the TAQ-56. This absolutely unstoppable assault rifle is great at all ranges, and it’s a firm favourite in both Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2. Not only that, but it’s the AR of choice for the best Call of Duty players in the game – the CDL pro players. So, with that in mind, we’ve assembled the definitive guide to the best TAQ-56 loadout you’ll ever see in Modern Warfare 2.
This TAQ-56 loadout is backed by the highly-paid, highly-skilled competitors in the Call of Duty League. It’s what’s being used to win tournaments, and it’s being wielded by the likes of Cellium, Clayster, Dashy, and Scrap. Now, there’s a massive part to be played by your individual skill, but by using this accurate, heavy-hitting TAQ-56 loadout, you can almost guarantee that you’ll have the best start possible – and not only that, but it’s one of the best MW2 guns for Ranked Play, too.

There are no boxes left unticked by what is undoubtedly the best TAQ-56 loadout in the game. It’s accurate at all ranges, versatile, boasts lower recoil, and can drop an enemy in just a few shots. It’s so well-balanced, and not only that – it also looks superb, especially with a nice Call of Duty League skin pack applied to it. If you’re an AR player, then you’ll be using the TAQ-56 in Ranked Play, and if you’re an SMG player, then this TAQ-56 loadout may just make you change sides.
Here’s what you’ll need for this insane TAQ-56 build:
Ammunition – 5.56 High Velocity
This is a toss-up between equipping a muzzle and an ammunition variant, and we’re going with the latter. If you’re locking in high-velocity ammunition, you’re boosting your range, and by dropping the muzzle, you’re making it that much faster at aiming down your sights, enabling you to compete with fast-paced SMG players.
Underbarrel – FSS Sharkfin 90
Now, the argument for the underbarrel is so subjective, considering everyone has their opinion on what works best. However, the Sharkfin is a staple attachment in Modern Warfare 2, and it works well across all weapon platforms. It’s also favoured by the best Call of Duty players in the game, which is a great selling point. It’ll reduce sway when you’re trying to lock on to your target, which is so valuable at a longer range.
Barrel – 17.5 Tundra Pro Barrel
This is one of the best TAQ-56 attachments, and it turns the gun into something truly special. It offers a major boost to damage range, which means that you’re hitting targets that are further away much harder, which is arguably the point of using an assault rifle. It’s a de facto standard for players in the Call of Duty League, and you’ll notice it’s equipped on every TAQ-56 being used when a COD tournament goes live.
Stock – TV Cardinal Stock
As the TAQ-56 recoil level is lower by default, you can risk running a stock that does nothing for recoil but boosts your movement and ADS speeds. It’s especially handful for all the Ranked Play modes – Search and Destroy, Control, and Hardpoint, as that boost in movement speed means that rotations are made as quickly as possible. If you want to keep up the pace with SMG players running a Vaznev, you’ll need this stock.
Rear Grip – Demo Cleanshot Grip
Like the underbarrel attachment, the rear grip is a thing of debate, but we’re settling up with the Demo Cleanshot Grip. Like the Sharkfin, this is favoured by almost all the CDL players running a TAQ-56, and again, it offers a boost in agility metrics like movement and aim-down-sight speed. If you’re going to be as cracked as possible (check out that Call of Duty terminology), then you’ll need the Demo Cleanshot Grip to complete this build.
And that’s it – the best TAQ-56 loadout in Modern Warfare 2 right now, as favoured by CDL pro players. Will you be running it?
