CoD pro Attach reveals best Modern Warfare S&D classes: MP5, M4A1, AX-50

Jacob Hale

Call of Duty pro player and world champion Dillon ‘Attach’ Price has revealed the best Modern Warfare Search & Destroy classes you can use, with unique classes for the MP5 submachine gun, M4A1 assault rifle and AX-50 sniper rifle to best fit your needs.

As one of very few to be able to call themselves a Call of Duty world champion, Attach knows a thing or two about what it takes to win.

Of course, one of these things is how you set up your classes, especially in a game mode as both volatile and tactical as Search and Destroy.

The MP5, M4 and AX-50 are three of the most popular weapons in Modern Warfare, and it’s clear why, but what is the best way to utilize them?

Alongside footage of a small $300 Search and Destroy tournament, Attach explains what you need to be using with your weapons and why.

Search and Destroy continues to be one of the most popular gamemodes in Call of Duty.

Obviously, there are certain limitations on these classes: for example, killstreaks are not permitted in the Call of Duty League, hence why Attach opts for specialist perks instead.

While pro players tend to know the game on a much deeper level than most of us, it’s worth noting that these class setups are just guidelines; try them out, but if you prefer to use different attachments or perks, for example, make sure you opt for what you prefer.
