You can never go wrong with a trusty M4A1 build in any shooter, and Delta Force is no exception, with this version of the iconic assault rifle being top-tier with the right loadout.

Everybody loves a classic AR that does it all, as they can excel on a wide range of maps and modes. There are a few standout options to fill this role, but the M4A1 is the best, with an optimized build placing it at the forefront of the meta.

To help you take advantage of this powerful weapon, here’s the best M4A1 build in Delta Force, including the import code that you can use to add it to your loadout in a matter of seconds.

The best M4A1 build in Delta Force.

The M4A1 gets a lot of attachment slots, allowing you to reduce its control by stacking attachments. The most impactful of these are the Sandstorm Vertical Compensator and Secret Order Bevel Foregrip, which reduce vertical and horizontal recoil, respectively. You’ll also want to equip six Ranger Handguard Panels for a free +6 Control with no downsides.

Next up is the AR Gabriel Long Barrel Combo, which increases range and muzzle velocity, making the versatile assault rifle more effective from further away. This is further assisted by the M16A4 Stable Stock and Universal Cheek Pad, which increase stability and reduce idle sway – great for gunning down enemy players at long range.

You’ll also want to use the 45-Round Extended Mag to fire more rounds without having to reload. This is great for flanking, as it gives you the chance to score some quick and easy kills that you might have otherwise missed out on. Don’t forget to add the Badger Small Mag Assist (Black) too for a small stat boost.

Unfortunately, many of these attachments come at the cost of handling, which can make the M4A1 feel sluggish. To fix this, use the Phantom Rear Grip to improve handling and keep the build feeling snappy. This also adds even more control, making the rifle as accurate as possible.

Where is the M4A1 in the Delta Force meta?

The M4A1 being used in Delta Force.

The M4A1 is one of the best guns in Delta Force, with it being equally as powerful as it is accessible. This versatile assault rifle is easy to use, has great stats across the board, and typically dominates medium-range gunfights. It is a true jack of all trades weapon that will hardly ever let you down.

Unfortunately, while it may perform well in a wide range of areas, it doesn’t really excel in any of them either. Other guns are more accurate, deal more damage, and have better mobility, resulting in the M4A1 getting outgunned more often than you might like. This is especially problematic on smaller maps where it loses badly to SMGs and even some other rifles.

Despite this, there’s no doubt that the M4A1 is a really good gun that will serve most players well. After all, there’s rarely a situation, map, or mode where it isn’t at least viable. For many players, that’s more than enough of a reason to keep using the M4A1, which is exactly why it has become so popular among the community.

How to unlock the M4A1

You can unlock the M4A1 by reaching Operation Level 13. Alternatively, acquiring any M4A1 weapon skin will also immediately unlock the assault rifle, with these being available from the Store, Battle Pass, Market, or as event rewards.

Best M4A1 alternative in Delta Force

The CAR-15 is a direct competitor to the M4A1, with both being rifles that you unlock early on. Overall, the M4A1 is the better weapon but is also exclusive to the Assault Class, making the CAR-15 a good alternative for Engineer, Medic, and Recon mains.
