Attachments

The XMG’s impressive fire rate makes it a reliable weapon for maintaining pressure on the battlefield, but its recoil can be difficult to control without the right setup. Make sure to use the Gunfighter Wildcard, allowing you to slot in up to eight attachments to fine-tune its performance.

Start the build by equipping the Ported Compensator, which improves vertical recoil control and stabilizes first-shot accuracy.

Complement this with the Vertical Foregrip, Buffer Weight Stock, and Recoil Springs to further enhance both vertical and horizontal recoil control, ensuring consistent accuracy during sustained fire.

To transform the XMG into a long-range powerhouse, add the Reinforced Barrel, which significantly boosts damage range and bullet velocity, making it deadly at medium to long distances.

Pair this with the Willis 3x optic for a crisp sight picture and smooth magnification, perfect for spotting and eliminating distant targets.

For better responsiveness, include the Quickdraw Grip, which improves aim down sight (ADS) speed, allowing you to lock onto targets more rapidly.

Finally, round out the build with the Fast Mag I, which not only speeds up reload time but also enhances ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds, making sure you stay ready for prolonged gunfights.
