To start off with this build, the FSS Ole-V Laser is picked out, improving the ADS and sprint-to-fire speed along with the aiming stability of this AR.

For the stock, the Corio Precio Factory is a great choice as it provides good stability and recoil control. The ADS and overall movement speed are a bit affected, but that’s mitigated by other attachments.

Next up, we have the VX Pineapple underbarrel that once again enhances the aim walking steadiness and gun kick control along with the hipfire and tac stance spread.

Then, for the ammunition, the armor-piercing rounds are the best you can use with this AR as they are highly effective in all sorts of ranges.
