Modern Warfare 2 Chimera

The Chimera or Honey Badger in Modern Warfare 2 is an aggressive AR that’s designed for close to medium-range combat, but you’ll need a meta MW2 loadout if you want to dominate your foes.

If you’re looking to rack up countless kills in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, it’s important to play aggressively and take gunfights whenever you can.

While camping will protect your overall KD, it will limit your skill potential and will result in you losing a lot of intense 1v1s.

So, if you’re a fan of challenging your opponents and enjoy guns with a lethal TTK, the Chimera or Honey Badger AR in MW2 is the perfect weapon.

Equipped with impressive mobility, damage, and an in-built suppressor, this AR is powerful if used with a meta loadout in Modern Warfare 2.

Attachments

  • Stock: Ravage-8
  • Optic: SZ Mini
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
  • Rear Grip: Bruen Flash Grip

First of all, you’ll want to equip the VLK LZR 7MW laser and FTAC Ripper 56 underbarrel. These attachments will significantly improve the gun’s ADS time, aiming stability, and overall recoil control. While you could opt to run a barrel or muzzle, the Chimera already has plenty of damage, so focusing on enhancing mobility and control is the direction we’ve opted to go for.

Following this, utilize the Ravage 8 stock for better sprint speed and overall mobility, as well as the Bruen Flash Grip for the enhanced ADS time.

Finally, round off the loadout with the SZ Mini optic for a clear and concise sight that will allow you to deal maximum damage to your enemies.

Best Chimera Modern Warfare 2 class: Perks & equipment

  • Base Perk 1: Double Time
  • Base Perk 2: Battle Hardened
  • Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
  • Ultimate Perk: High Alert
  • Lethal: Stun Grenade
  • Tactical: Stim

Start off with Double Time for base perk 1 as it will allow you to outplay your opponents with ease, giving you the speed to aggressively push enclosed spaces and take out your foes before they have a chance to respond.

After that, you’ll want to equip Battle Harderend as opponents will attempt to stop your killing sprees with stuns and flashes. This perk reduces the effects of lethal grenades, making you extremely difficult to take down.

When it comes to your bonus perk, Fast Hands is a strong option as you want to be able to switch to your secondary quickly just in case you run out of ammo.

As for equipment, we suggest a Stun Grenade to help you in your 1v1s, as well as a Stim for a boost of health when you need it most.

Alternative to the Chimera Modern Warfare 2 loadout

If the Chimera doesn’t fit your style of play, consider checking out the Fennec 45 SMG for a close-range powerhouse that melts enemies.

With the best-in-class fire rate, it’s hard to find a weapon with a better TTK than the Fennec, and with our meta loadout, it’s a top-tier contender for multiplayer.
