Here is our recommendation for the ultimate attachments to create the best M16A4 loadout:

Muzzle: Muzzle booster
Barrel: Lined with chrome
Front rail: Superlight
Optical: Reflex aim
Action: Padded

For the muzzle, the Muzzle Booster is a massive win, improving the rate of fire so you can get those follow-up bursts in faster, increasing your chance of a kill. The disadvantages are irrelevant because we will compensate for them with other attachments.

For the next attachment, we suggest equipping the Stabilizer Cannon if you have just unlocked this assault rifle. It increases horizontal and vertical recoil control.

The most important thing about XDefiant is making sure you can get those chest and headshots in to get the quickest TTK, and this will be much easier to do with the Stabilizing Barrel equipped.

When it comes to the barrel slot, the Chrome Lined is fantastic for improving damage at close to mid range. Since we already have a long-range lock-on, we should focus on improving the short- and mid-range weapon for a well-balanced assault rifle.

Next, we'll add a front rail, and the Super Light is a great choice to improve ADS speed and provide increased movement speed as a bonus.

With a burst weapon, it's imperative to get your first burst on target for the best chance of a kill, and this attachment helps achieve that.

Finally, we strongly suggest equipping the Padded Stock as it significantly improves the accuracy of the weapon. Additionally, it not only improves recoil recovery by 15%, but also improves ADS stability and recoil control by 10% and 55% respectively.
