Best HCR 56 loadout in MW2¶

The most ideal attachments for the HCR in the MW2 are all about ADS speed. The LMG has a fairly low damage range compared to others in its class. So, it would help if you ideally made this weapon faster and better ADS to make up for it. The ideal attachments in the best HCR 56 Loadout in MW2 is as follows:

• Barrel: 24.4“ Bruen S-620
• Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40
• Underbarrel: Phase 3 Grip or FTAC Ripper
• Rear Grip: Bruen 0900 Grip
• Comb: FTAC C11 Riser

The Barrel, Rear Grip, and Comb attachments offer the player some great ADS improvement stats. This makes the gun very easy to aim in with, which is handy when you need to peak corners with your aiming advantage.

On the other hand, the Phase 3 Grip offers the player some better aiming stability, and hip fire control. It means that if you do need to hip fire, your LMG isn’t spewing rounds all over the place, and plays slightly more akin to a close-range AR, rather than an LMG. This is good, considering this LMG is more about getting in closer ranges, rather than mounted at the back.

The muzzle attachment is your generic vertical recoil control compensator. This is because your attachments will chip away at the HCR 56 base recoil control stats. The weapon is normally really good until spraying at range, so this helps to control it when necessary and get you back to that base stat value.

These attachments typically take till around level 13 to get your hands on. So, feel free to offset them with other generic attachments until you get your hands on the best HCR 56 loadout in MW2.

Best HCR 56 Class in MW2¶

The best HCR 56 Class in MW2 is as follows:

• Secondary: .50GS or Combat Knife
• Tactical Flash or Tear Gas
• Lethal: Frag Grenade or Drill Charge
• Field Upgrade: Trophy System and Dead Silence or Battle Rage

The secondary you want to take is either the .50GS, or the Combat Knife. The Deagle offers players the chance to play some duels at range that your LMG’s accuracy starts to skew off. This is ideally against those long-range marksman players. If you get the headshot, you can typically win those fights. However, the Combat Knife allows you to run as fast as possible to get your LMG in those amazing setup locations, or away from incoming lethal and tactical throwables.

Your tactical throwable is either the Flash or Tear Gas. Flash Grenades are very strong, as you already know, and can easily turn the battle. Meanwhile, the Tear Gase is good for spreading it around an objective like headquarters or hardpoint. You can detect the coughing, and then pre-fire that spot for some free kills.

Your throwable for this class is likely Frag Grenades or Drill Charge. Frag Grenades are the play for getting those long-distance frags in and blowing enemies up through cooked nades or wall-bouncing them to reach new areas. Drill Charges are also good if you need to flush an enemy from a spot. They will either die to the Drill Charge or to your spray when they try to clear out.

As for the Field Upgrade, you either want Trophy System, Dead Silence or try something new like the Battle Rage. Dead Silence is good since you can enter places quietly, rather than your loud and sluggish LMG boots stomping the ground. Moreso, Trophy System, is a solid choice for players hunkering down objectives and who want to deny enemy throwables. Battle Rage is also viable for players not running Quick Fix. You can pop it, inhale the gas, and run in like a terminator and get powerful health regen while you also clear an area of the map. You can take any two of these three Field Upgrades thanks to the field upgrade pro when you unlock it.

Best HCR 56 Perks in MW2¶

Now it’s time for the most ideal perks in the best HCR 56 loadout in MW2. These are as follows:

• Basic Perk 1: Battle Hardened
• Basic Perk 2: Double Time
• Bonus Perk: Focus
• Ultimate Perk: Ghost or Quick Fix

The basic perks you want are Double Time and Battle Hardened. The Double Time perk allows you to two charges of your sprint and lasts longer. Meanwhile, the Battle Hardened perk allows players to take reduced effects from tactical grenades. It’s good for players who need are defending objectives and the amount of tacticals that get launched your way.

Your Bonus Perk should be Focus. It’s the most common perk that pros use, thanks to the anti-flinch mechanic. This will keep your aim on targets, and result in your accuracy not being affected by incoming fire.

The ultimate perk of choice is either Quick Fix or Ghost. Quick Fix offers players the opportunity to get fast health regen while holding objectives or after getting kills. It’s good for survivability and taking on those multi-kill opportunities. Meanwhile, Ghost offers players the best chances of survival against the UAV spams in the game, and less time getting hunted because of it.

This concludes the best HCR 56 loadout in MW2. This class set up to go pushing with some strong damage and heavy capacity magazines.
