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 FAMAS is an early burst rifle for players with steady aim. Altered Gamer rates its damage very highly and says Stopping Power can kill in one burst at close or average distance when all three rounds connect. In Modern Warfare 2 (2009) multiplayer, that makes it worth learning, though it punishes anyone who sprays.
Best FAMAS loadout
Insider Gaming (12 November 2023) names the attachments and Scavenger; Altered Gamer (30 January 2010) supplies Stopping Power. Insider lists three attachment options, and the second slot needs Bling.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | FMJ | Added bullet penetration through cover (Insider Gaming) |
| Attachment 2 (needs Bling) | Silencer | Insider suggests it for tactical players; Altered Gamer says silencers limit range |
| Perk | Stopping Power | One-burst kills when all three rounds hit |
| Perk | Scavenger | Replenishes your loadout from blue packs, covering the rifle's fast ammo use |
Why this build works
Insider Gaming credits the open iron sight for leaving room to choose non-optic attachments, so FMJ or a Silencer costs little. Ammo is the catch, since bursts empty reserves quickly, and Scavenger answers that. Insider also notes the bursts drift slightly more than the M16A4's.
How to play it
Aim, fire one burst, and be ready for the pause that follows. Altered Gamer warns that this pause leaves you exposed if you miss, so don't play it like a spray rifle. Close and average distances are where the one-burst kill is promised.
Alternative setups
Insider Gaming also lists the grenade launcher as an option for the FAMAS.
Unlock notes
Available at level 4 once create-a-class opens (Altered Gamer, Insider Gaming). The Steam guide lists FMJ at 300 kills, Silencer at 75 and the Grenade Launcher at 10 on rifles.
