MW4 meta guns and loadouts
Short answer: in CODMunity's report for the week of Oct 26, 2026, the Han 86 is the top Modern Warfare 4 gun, followed by the VEL 46 SMG. The M4, which led earlier in October, has dropped a tier (source).
| # | Gun | Tier (CODMunity) | Pick rate (CODMunity) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Han 86 | Absolute Meta | 26.7% |
| 2 | VEL 46 | Absolute Meta | 15.4% |
| 3 | KG-7 Vulcan (sniper) | Absolute Meta | 5% |
| 4 | Hyeon Burst | Absolute Meta | 8.6% |
| 5 | ISO Nightshade | Absolute Meta | 7.5% |
| 6 | X-58 Nyx | Meta | 1.8% |
| 7 | M4 | Meta | 11% |
CODMunity's own tier labels and pick rates (its weekly meta report across the loadouts it tracks). Third-party data, not tested by us. Since the previous week: Han 86, KG-7 Vulcan and Hyeon Burst moved up to Absolute Meta; M4, Kastov 762 and X-58 Nyx dropped from Absolute Meta to Meta.
Where the trackers agree, and where they don't
Every tracker we checked (CODMunity, MW4 Intel, MetaRadar, wzstats.gg) puts the M4, VEL 46 and ISO Nightshade at the top tier, and the KG-7 Vulcan as the top sniper.
| Gun / pick | MW4 Intel / CODMunity | MetaRadar / wzstats.gg |
|---|---|---|
| Han 86 | S tier, #1 overall (MW4 Intel, Oct 26); top of CODMunity's Oct 26 report | Not in MetaRadar's top tier (Oct 29–30) |
| Axion | A tier, 0.5% pick rate (MW4 Intel) | S tier, called the #2 AR (MetaRadar); wzstats.gg ranks it #1 AR |
| Kastov 762 / Oris 8.6 | S tier (MW4 Intel) | Not in MetaRadar's top tier |
| Mosin-Nagant | A tier (MW4 Intel) | S tier, #1 marksman (MetaRadar) |
| Best LMG | Type 73 (A tier, MW4 Intel) | FiNN LMG (MetaRadar) |
Our read: treat the Han 86 vs Axion question as disputed. MW4 Intel publishes pick rates and a dated weekly report; MetaRadar refreshes daily but appears to aggregate wzstats.gg and labels the M4 both "#1 AR" and "#2 overall" on the same page. Sources: MW4 Intel meta report (Oct 26), MetaRadar MW4 meta (Oct 29–30), wzstats.gg MW4 meta (Oct 30).
