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 FAD has the highest fire rate of any assault rifle in Call of Duty: Ghosts and the lowest damage in the class. Our verdict is that it works as a close-quarters rifle with extra ammunition, not as an all-round pick. TheGameHaus says it was tested in competitive play on shorter maps with limited success, losing to SMGs at medium range on movement speed and to the R5 at long range. This applies to launch-era Ghosts multiplayer.
Best FAD loadout
Build from Gameranx's FAD guide (16 December 2013), the only published build we found for this gun. Game Loadouts confirms both attachments exist on it.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Silencer | Gameranx: conceals your location and reduces muzzle flash |
| Mod | Extended Mags | Gameranx: 63 rounds instead of 42, easing the slow reload |
| Perks | Steady Aim, Ready Up, Quickdraw | Gameranx: Steady Aim moves it toward SMG performance; Ready Up keeps reactions quick on the move |
Why this build works
Gameranx lists 882 RPM on full auto, three shots to kill up close regardless of headshots, and four at medium range (three with a headshot). Aim time is 300ms, mobility is 90%, and hipfire is average. Recoil is moderate and makes longer shots a little challenging, while the 3.23-second reload is why the larger magazine gets priority.
How to play it
Treat close to medium range as the limit. Gameranx calls this the gun's safe zone and advises against straying from it often, and asks for trigger discipline so each bullet counts. Stealth or recovery perks are its optional extras for players who want to specialise further.
