I have been working on the M4A1 in Escape From Tarkov for a long time, and I am convinced that the following builds are among the best M4A1 builds in Tarkov 2023.
The Guide: In this guide, I'll tell you about two builds for the M4A1 in Tarkov, the first for close combat (CQB) and the second build for longer ranges. I'll also show you:
Fact check: the M4A1 assault rifle is based on the AR-15 platform that shoots 5.56x45mm caliber. Moreover, it's probably the most customizable weapon in the tarkov -- and real life. No other weapon offers you as many modifications as is possible for an M4A1 build in Tarkov.
