Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The FAL is the rifle for accurate shooters. It is the only semi-automatic assault rifle in the game, and Insider Gaming says it has the highest damage in the class. In Modern Warfare 2 (2009) multiplayer the verdict is that it holds its own at mid to long range, as long as you can land every shot.
Best FAL loadout
This comes from Insider Gaming (12 November 2023), which is the only source here to name attachments for the FAL. The second attachment needs Bling.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Holographic Sight | Insider says it pairs well with the gun; no stat effect listed |
| Attachment 2 (needs Bling) | Shotgun | Mounted shotgun for close-range fights |
Why this build works
Altered Gamer rates accuracy, damage and range as very high, so an optic that makes the shot easier is the obvious addition. Insider says the iron sight takes getting used to. The mounted shotgun, or a grenade launcher if you prefer, covers what a single-shot rifle cannot do when someone closes the gap.
How to play it
Stay at mid to long range and make each shot count. Altered Gamer warns that a wounding shot can leave you exposed between trigger pulls, and Insider says results depend entirely on the player. Most players skip the FAL for that reason.
Alternative setups
Insider Gaming offers a grenade launcher in place of the mounted shotgun.
Unlock notes
Altered Gamer gives level 28. The Steam guide (11 June 2018) says the Holographic Sight takes 60 kills looking through the Red Dot Sight, and the Shotgun takes 20 kills with the attached Grenade Launcher.
