The FTAC Recon should be used to keep opponents at arm’s length. If you are trying to take on afast SMG playerwho is sprinting at you from five meters away, you may find life difficult. This weapon actsalmost as a middle groundbetween an assault rifle and a marksman rifle.
In single fire, you can even get kills in one shot if accurate enough. If using the automatic fire option, ammo supplies run out very quickly but hitting shots becomes incredibly powerful.
The attachments to use on the FTAC Recon in MW2:
You may be thinking about the fact that we’ve only included four attachments when there are five slots. This is due to the fact that the barrel on the weapon acts also as the muzzle too. Any other additional attachments risk taking away from vital aspects of the weapon’s ability to compete.
If you were wanting to fill out all five slots the two adjustments that you can make are to add an optic of your choice. Bear in mind that it will significantly slow down the ADS speed of the gun and that the M4 iron sights are already incredibly clean and easy to use.
The only other addition you can have is using the High Velocity ammunition type. That will make your long range shots pack that extra little bit of a punch as it makes weapons pretty much hit-scan. That means that there will be no delay between you pressing your shooting trigger or key and the bullet making a connection with your enemy.
Bigger maps are definitely the places to be using the FTAC Recon. Maps such as El Asilo, Taraq and Zarqwa Hydroelectric can be really good places to use it.
