Season 2 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 added the new Ranked Play competitive mode. Ranked Play follows the official rules, maps, and game modes of the 2023 Call of Duty League, meaning this competitive mode contains plenty of perk, weapon, and attachment restrictions.

Modern Warfare 2's TAQ-56 is the assault rifle used in the Call of Duty League, and this is a really powerful gun with the right attachments on it. The recommended attachments for the TAQ-56 is the same build used by Octane of the LA Thieves. Some pros swap the TV Xline Pro for the TV Cardinal Stock. The TV Xline Pro helps a bit more with the aim-down-sight speed, but feel free to try out both stocks to see what feels best for you.

The Vaznev-9k is the submachine gun used by the pros. Not every SMG pro player uses the exact same attachments, but here is the recommended loadout used by top players like Simp from Atlanta FaZe and Shotzzy from OpTic Texas.

The limitation for sniper rifles is that only one can be used during Search and Destroy, and pros have agreed to not use any attachments on them. Thankfully, Ranked Play does allow you to equip attachments to your sniper. Pro players are split
