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 CM901 trades pace for damage. Altered Gamer calls it very powerful and a good pick for those who try it and like it, while the Steam guide says it has the strongest recoil among the assault rifles. In Modern Warfare 3 (2011) multiplayer, the verdict is that Kick is non-negotiable and the ACR is the better rifle once unlocked.
Best CM901 loadout
Build source: a single Russian-language Steam guide by Влад, dated 11 August 2021. English attachment and perk names are matched to Altered Gamer's November 2011 lists.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Red Dot Sight | The guide says it helps those who dislike the Silencer, since muzzle flash can hurt your aim |
| Proficiency | Kick | Reduces recoil; the guide calls it necessary |
Why this build works
The guide gives damage of 49-25 and about 666 rounds per minute, with low ammo use. Its recoil is random, it says: sometimes barely felt, sometimes throwing the gun upward, though usually a small hop. The Thermal Scope with Kick lowers recoil greatly and allows long-range fights.
How to play it
Stay away from the longest sightlines, since the guide says recoil makes long-distance shooting hard even with Kick. ACOG and Hybrid Sight are called unsuitable for this rifle. It compares unfavourably to the ACR 6.8, which needs the same number of bullets per kill but wins on fire rate, reload and recoil.
Alternative setups
Long range: Thermal Scope with Kick, per the guide. Silencer: the guide suggests this for those who want to remove the flash from their view.
Unlock notes
Altered Gamer gives level 18. Weapon levels per the Steam guide: Red Dot Sight 2, Silencer 5, Thermal Scope 29; Kick 4.
