Although it’s the starting assault rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 – the most basic of basics – the best Han 86 loadout will serve you well from level 1 all the way to Prestige. In fact, after testing various builds to find the right one, it’s now my favorite assault rifle of the bunch.
Below, I’ll outline all the attachments I recommend using on the Han 86. It’s important you get it right, as the attachments have quite a lot of drawbacks (unfortunately) that’ll actually hinder your loadout if you’re not careful.
Best Han 86 Build in MW4
Build Code: A03-6AL6S-S2N11
You can quickly recreate our loadout in-game by choosing the ‘import’ option in the Gunsmith and entering the code above.
Despite slowing things down compared to its recent predecessors, Modern Warfare 4 multiplayer is fast. With this loadout, I’ve prioritized mobility so you can slide and jump around, but importantly without sacrificing recoil control and accuracy. This results in a well-rounded assault rifle that’s great for almost any situation, similar to the best M4 loadout.
Laser: XRK Clutch-LS (Dim ADS Laser)Muzzle: FSS IS300 (Heavy Silencer)Underbarrel: FSS Fireline Grip (Angled Grip)Rear Grip: XRK Justice II Grip (Tactical Grip)Stock: Meiko L9P-Fold (Light Stock)
If you would like to use a reticle (if so, I recommend the Slimline Elite or SZ Prima-4 DOT), you will have to drop an attachment, most likely the XRK Justice II rear grip.
Best Han 86 AttachmentsAttachment TypeRecommended AttachmentWhyLaserXRK Clutch-LSWhile the Schlager VISIV-5 offers bonus sprint-to-fire and ADS speed, a visible laser in ADS can easily give your position away when holding an angle. The XRK Clutch-LS simply offers ADS speed with no downsides.
Muzzle
FSS IS300Suppressors are great for concealing your position, enabling more aggressive plays. Plus, the FSS IS300 specifically improves muzzle velocity, damage range, and ADS recoil control. However, this does come at a cost to ADS speed, counteracted by other attachments.
Foregrip
FSS Fireline GripProvides strong ADS recoil control, with a minor hit to ADS and sprint-to-fire speed, largely offset by other attachments.
Rear Grip
XRK Justice II GripThe two-point bonus to ADS speed helps counteract other attachments and only comes with a slight hit to recoil control.
Stock
Meiko L9P-Fold
(or FR4 Retractable Stock)
A massive three-point bonus to movement speed to help reposition faster. If you would rather have better ADS speed, swap to the FR4 Retractable Stock, though this hurts ADS recoil control.
Best Han 86 Loadout
Like most loadouts, you’ve probably got your own favorites when it comes to Tactical, Lethal, and Field Upgrade equipment. That said, I recommend the age-old Flash Grenades and Semtex to help push lanes and objectives, and the Portable Radar for an on-demand mini UAV.
The most important thing to decide on is your perks. I recommend:
Ghost to avoid detection from UAVs and the like, or Quick Fix for highly aggressive plays to let you re-engage faster.Fast Hands to reload, use equipment, and swap weapons significantly faster, which consistently comes in clutch, or Ninja to quieten your footsteps (which are otherwise very loud in MW4).Battle Hardened to reduce the effect of enemy Tactical equipment like Flash Grenades.Custom Class LoadoutRecommended ItemSecondaryKrait P68 or Pila
