Best Modern Warfare 2 Chimera loadout

The best Modern Warfare 2 Chimera loadout is definitely worth using if you're looking to gain an advantage during Season 6. The rifle arrived shortly after Modern Warfare 2 launched and has held its position as one of the best guns to use in multiplayer.

The Chimera slots into the assault rifle (AR) category and features an integrated suppressor similar to the Honey Badger from Call of Duty Ghosts. Its compact nature results in high mobility without the need for attachments which frees up other slots to create a lethal loadout.

Lastly, we select Quick Fix as the ultimate perk. Scoring kills instantly triggers health regeneration while capturing and controlling an objective increases the rate of regeneration.

Equipment

• Frag grenade (Lethal)
• Flash grenade (Tactical)

It's tricky to go wrong with the trusty combination of a frag and flash grenade. Cook the frag to perfection for some additional damage and if it doesn't kill them, follow up with a flash to stop them from getting away.
