Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3has expanded the TAQ family of weapons with the TAQ Eradicator, an LMG variant of the TAQ-V chambered in 7.62. This gun not only hits like a truck, but it also has a unique bolt mechanism that gives it a noticeable fire rate boost for its first five shots.
This RPM boost makes the TAQ Eradicator a powerful LMG in the hands of an accurate player, especially with the right build. This guide will cover how to create the ultimate TAQ Eradicator for Multiplayer, fixing this weapon’s poor aiming stability while also improving its handling.
The Best TAQ Eradicator Build
The TAQ Eradicator has minimal recoil during its first five shots, but this weapon becomes far more unstable once its RPM decreases. Most of that inaccuracy comes from itspoor aiming stability and firing stability.This build specs for both stats to make the TAQ Eradicator far more consistent at all ranges, especially for long-range duels.
TheTactique Brute Stockhas everything we want from an attachment, increasing the gun’s stability stats while buffing your ADS speed slightly. We pair this with theKimura RYN-03 Vertical Gripto stack an immense amount of aiming stability, making this gun have virtually no bullet deviation. Since the weapon has poor handling, we equip the45 Round Magattachment to make it handle closer to an assault rifle.
The final two attachment slots are down to preference. We recommendany red dot opticalongside theShadowstrike Suppressorto hide your location from the minimap while firing the TAQ Eradicator. All of these attachments make this weapon incredibly accurate at all ranges while reducing its ADS speed and sprint to fire delay. Try to fire the gun in bursts for optimal results at longer distances.
Loadout Recommendations
Perks are fairly important for any heavy weapon, and the TAQ Eradicator is no exception. TheInfantry Vestis ideal since it gives you the Running Sneakers perk for free, doubling your Tactical Sprint duration and recharge rate. Since the weapon has poor mobility, we recommend theStalker Bootsto improve your strafe speed while ADS. If you tend to play more aggressively, feel free to use Covert Sneakers instead.
As with all suppressed weapons,Ghostis an ideal perk since it will hide your location from enemy radar while you’re moving. Paired with your suppressed gunshots, you’ll be virtually invisible on the minimap. Finally, we recommend using theMarksman Glovesto reduce incoming flinch during a gunfight.
Your equipment is entirely down to preference, although we dorecommend usingDead Silenceas your Field Upgradeif you aren’t running Covert Sneakers. This gives you a means of muffling your footstep audio during certain portions of a Multiplayer match. For one-life modes, you’re better off using Covert Sneakers and a different Field Upgrade.
