When engaging in mid-range combat in Modern Warfare 2, the TAQ-V is an excellent Battle Rifle choice that can fit any combatant’s playstyle, thanks to its all-rounding stats. Offering superior Damage, Accuracy, and Handling, the TAQ-V has what it takes to take users’ combative capabilities to the next level and achieve a high-tier Killstreak. When considering an attachment setup for this Battle Rifle, users should focus on further enhancing its Recoil Control and Handling. It should be noted that this weapon’s Mobility is moderately inadequate. However, a solid secondary firearm choice will help compensate for close-quarters combat or a lack of time to reload in gunfights.

Fast Hands is an optimal Bonus Perk for the TAQ-V and enables players to switch quickly between their primary and secondary in MW2. While the secondary will depend on player preference, YouTuber Hero recommends the P890 as a solid choice for backup firepower. Next, Ghost and Dead Silence are two excellent loadout picks for stealthy ambushes. Finally, players are advised to equip the Stim for accessible HP regen and a Drill Charge for high-damage Crowd Control.
