Modern Warfare 2 best gear 556 Icarus focused on recoil control, as this is the area where all LMGs have the most difficulty in a multiplayer game. However, with the addition of attachments to help deal with recoil, the 556 Icarus is fast and formidable.
The huge selection of weapons, as well as the variety of attachments available in Modern Warfare 2's armory, can be a real minefield if you know where to start. To get an idea of the other weapons available in this category, we've also put together a guide to the best LMGs for Modern Warfare 2. Here's the best 556 Icarus loadout option in Modern Warfare 2.
The best attachments for 556 Icarus
Best 556 Icarus gear for Modern Warfare 2:
- Muzzle: Forge-Tac Castle Comp
- Trunk: FTAC Coldforge 16″ barrel
- grenade launcher: FSS Sharkfin 90
- Stock: Demo Precision Elite Factory
- Rear handle: XTEN Grip
The Forge-Tac Castle Comp muzzle device improves recoil control in both the horizontal and vertical planes, while sacrificing speed and aiming stability. This is where the XTEN Grip comes in - it enhances the mobility of the 556 Icarus while improving the scope's rate of fire and trigger speed.
Following the same principle, we installed the FSS Sharkfin 90 underbarrel mount, which improves the aiming stability of the LMG at idle without introducing any negative effects. The Demo Precision Elite Factory stock also improves recoil control, although this does reduce mobility somewhat.
The incredible damage and rate of fire of the Icarus, which already has an excellent time to kill, is complemented by the improved rate of fire and range of the FTAC Coldforge 16″ barrel. These five attachments allow you to improve the performance of the Icarus without compromising its core performance.
