One of the starting submachine guns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the FSS Hurricane, and it is basically an SMG version of the M4 assault rifle—it’s part of the M4 weapon platform. The bullets on the gun are actually fed into the top of the rail, which gives it its unique, almost naked-looking appearance when compared to other traditional guns.

The Hurricane “sacrifices range and stopping power for increased ammo capacity and enhanced stability,” according to its in-game description. It boasts strong mobility and solid DPS out of MW2’s suite of SMG’s, even months after its release.

The SMG has a fast fire rate, which is its best commodity in close-range fights. The faster you fire, the quicker you can shred through an enemy’s HP. And the weapon can be made even stronger by equipping it with the right attachments in the Gunsmith.

Here’s the current best set of attachments to use for the FSS Hurricane in MW2 during season two.

As it currently stands, the Hurricane pales in comparison to the Lachmann Sub, but it’s still a good SMG option for close-range maps. Run-and-gunners will have a blast with the Hurricane’s mobility and fire rate when getting up close and personal with enemy players.

The Hurricane fails greatly at anything longer than close-to-medium range, so don’t plan on outgunning enemies at range, especially since they’re likely going to be using an M4.

  • Muzzle: Bruen Cubic Comp
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
  • Stock: Demo Quicksilver Stock
  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
  • Rear Grip: XTEN Grip

Secondary: Preferred pistol
Tactical: Stun Grenade
Lethal: Throwing Knife
Perk Package: Battle Hardened and Bomb Squad, Fast Hands, Ghost
Field Upgrade: Dead Silence

This loadout will lean a bit more into the maneuverability of the FSS Hurricane and is a solid loadout built specifically for smaller maps in the game like Shoot House or Shipment. You’ll really be flying around the map with this one.

You won’t need Double Time anymore since your mobility is so high, so focus on hitting your shots at mid-range and you should be racking up killstreaks in no time.
