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 TAR-21 is a hard-hitting rifle that asks you to manage it. Altered Gamer calls it a community favourite that works even without Stopping Power, but both guides warn about recoil. For Modern Warfare 2 (2009) multiplayer, the verdict is to pick it if you will fire in bursts and want a gun that handles a Silencer.
Best TAR-21 loadout
Altered Gamer (30 January 2010) gives the Silencer recommendation; Insider Gaming (12 November 2023) gives the Red Dot Sight detail. The second attachment needs Bling.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Silencer | Limits range, but Altered Gamer says the TAR keeps a very acceptable amount |
| Attachment 2 (needs Bling) | Red Dot Sight | Replaces the iron sight with a MARS sight (Insider Gaming) |
Why this build works
Few rifles keep their range with a Silencer, and Altered Gamer singles the TAR out as an exception. Insider says the iron sights take some getting used to, which is the reason to spend Bling on the red dot. Base damage is good without Stopping Power, and the rate of fire beats the SCAR-H and AK-47.
How to play it
Insider Gaming calls it an excellent close-range choice, though its recoil requires a practised trigger finger. At distance, Altered Gamer says long-range kills are hard unless you fire single shots, and advises learning controlled bursts. Recoil and low accuracy are the things to play around.
Unlock notes
Altered Gamer gives level 20. The Steam guide (11 June 2018) lists the Red Dot Sight at 25 kills and the Silencer at 75 kills for rifles.
