SO-14 is considered a meme gun in the COD community because while the full-auto mode is fun, it’s practically worthless in actual firefights. Nevertheless, sharp-eyed players are able to tune it up and make it viable with a few tweaks. If you’re looking for the perfect Attachments for the Battle Rifle, then look no more; here are the two best SO-14 (the M14-lookalike) Loadouts for both COD: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0.

1. Best Full Auto SO-14 Loadout for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0

As you can see from the video title, most YouTubers made their Loadout for COD: Modern Warfare 2; but the setup still works perfectly well for Warzone 2.0‘s bigger maps as well. As long as you go semi-auto instead of full-auto, of course, since you will need to be precise at picking off targets and not waste ammo.

SO-14 itself is a rather sluggish gun, so Hero’s Loadout will help to make it go faster and increase its accuracy and stability. The Commando Foregrip Underbarrel and Polarfire-S Muzzle are pretty important pieces of Attachments to achieve that result. Meanwhile, you can use the Schlager PEQ Box IV Laser but it’s more recommended to grind for the FSS OLE-V for better performance. Also, take the 50 Round Drum if you want to go full auto. Go straight to the 05:35 mark in the video above for the SO-14 Loadout breakdown.

Recommended Loadout:

  • Muzzle: Polarfire-S (Aim Down Sight Speed: -1.40 oz | Bullet Velocity: +1.00 in)
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser / Schlager PEQ Box IV
  • Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip (Recoil Stabilization: +0.80 oz | Aiming Idle Stabilization: +0.40 in)
  • Magazine: 50 Round Drum
  • Stock: FTAC RTP-40 Stock (Aiming Down Sight Speed: -4.00 oz | Aiming Idle Stability: +2.40 in)
  • Secondary: X12
  • Muzzle: F1 Steel Fire (Recoil Smoothness: +1.40 oz | Bullet Velocity: +1.00 in)
  • Trigger: XRK TR9 Trigger (Recoil Smoothness: +0.18 oz | Sprint to Fire Speed: -0.10 in)
  • Laser: 1MW Pistol Laser
  • Magazine: 24 Round Mag
  • Rear Grip: Akimbo X12

2. Best One-Shot SO-14 Warzone 2.0 Attachment Loadout

  • Muzzle: F1 Steel Fire (Recoil Smoothness: +1.40 oz | Bullet Velocity: +1.00 in)
  • Trigger: XRK TR9 Trigger (Recoil Smoothness: +0.18 oz | Sprint to Fire Speed: -0.10 in)
  • Laser: 1MW Pistol Laser
  • Magazine: 24 Round Mag
  • Rear Grip: Akimbo X12

While Hero’s Loadout finds a perfect balance between semi and full auto, Juany’s focuses much more on damage and accuracy, maximizing the weapon’s mid to long-range potential. With this setup, the gun’s accuracy and stability should be optimal and making it easy to get clean 1-hit headshots or 2-hit body shots. And as a note, the Optic is completely up to your preferences, including the Far/Close Tuning that will affect your view. In the video above, the COD: Warzone 2.0 SO-14 Loadout showcase starts at 00:44 seconds.

  • Muzzle: Polarfire-S (Recoil Smoothness: -1.40 oz | Bullet Velocity: +1.00 in)
  • Barrel: 22″ Factory Fourteen Barrel (Aiming Walking Speed: -0.45 lb | Damage Range: +0.40 oz)
  • Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot (Aim Down Sight Speed: -3.00 oz | Far: -0.32 in)
  • Stock: FTAC RTP-40 Stock (Aiming Down Sight Speed: -4.00 oz | Aiming Idle Stability: +2.40 in)
  • Ammunition: Bullet Velocity (Damage Range: +0.70 g | Bullet Velocity: +9.00 gr)

The Best Perks and Equipment For SO-14

  • Perk 1: Scavenger
  • Perk 2: Tracker / Strong Arm
  • Bonus Perk: Fast Hands / Spotter
  • Ultimate Perk: Ghost
  • Equipment:
  • Lethal: Drill Charge
  • Tactical: Stim / Flash Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Munitions Box / Dead Silence

Overall, you can ditch Overkill since with enough practice you can quickly switch between semi and full auto with SO-14, easily covering any firefight ranges (and the semi has a fast firing rate anyway). But as usual, BAS-P or Lachmann Sub is Overkill users’ best friend. For Perks, go with Scavenger and Tracker, then Fast Hands and Ghost are good for a run-and-gun playstyle. On the other hand, Strong Arm and Spotter are good choices for tactical players; Strong Arm lets you throw Equipment farther and Spotter can be used to spot Field Upgrades.

  • Lethal: Drill Charge
  • Tactical: Stim / Flash Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Munitions Box / Dead Silence

In terms of Equipment, Drill Charge is useful to destroy camping enemies behind covers. Stim can maximize your survival chance on the battlefield while Flash Grenade is good for surprise attacks. Then lastly, go with Munitions Box if you chew up lots of ammo or Dead Silence if you’re comfortable with your ammo count.
