Creative use of Maverick’s breaching torch makes him one of the most feared attackers in the game. I can’t count how many times I warned my teammates with noticeable alarm and worry in my voice that there’s a Mav on the opposing team. And with his high-powered guns, each of those sneaky holes he makes on walls are really cause for concern.

This marksman rifle has a really scary barrel
The breaching torch can be used to destroy defender gadgets that can prevent other breaching gadgets such as Mute’s signal jammers and Bandit’s shockwire. But it’s strength really lies in creating murder holes on reinforced walls. And with the AR-15.50, it is murder that you’ll do.
Shoot defender cameras with the suppressed 1911 tacops so that the enemies won’t be alerted. Place a claymore in a strategic position, make murder holes on the enemies’ objective area, and have a feast with your AR-15.50.

All of Mav’s primaries are unique to him. No, it’s not favoritism at all, right Ubi?
With this loadout, you’re letting go of your only defensive item, the claymore, in favor of an all-out-offense gameplay. In the first item, we talked about murder holes. Well, making small holes for your primary gun isn’t the only purpose of murder holes. You can also make medium sized holes with your breaching torch on reinforced walls for throwing over some frag grenades to unsuspecting defenders.
Even without the claymore, you’ll be able to defend yourself against runouts and roamers with quicker reaction from the M4. It is a high recoil gun, but with the flash hider and vertical grip, you’ll be able to control its recoil well, especially with small burst firing.

Offense is the best defense
Mav is a 3-speed 1-armor operator. And this loadout goes well with those stats. Because of Mav’s weak armor rating, he can die pretty fast when he starts getting hit. But the best defense for that is a quick counter fire. And with the flash hider and angled grip attached to your M4, you’ll be able to effectively do that. Keep in mind though that the M4 has a strong recoil so it’s best to practice quick flicks and short bursts.

That’s the most aesthetically pleasing suppressor in the game
The M4 does 37 damage even with a suppressor. And for a suppressed gun, that’s a lot. The reason why it’s a good idea to equip a suppressor to your guns when playing Mav is to keep the enemies guessing. Ideally you should make multiple murder holes on the objective area’s reinforced walls so that the enemies won’t have only one target. And with a suppressor which masks the sound of gunshots, hides the muzzle flash, and the directional threat indicator, it’ll take some time for the enemies to figure out which murder hole the shots are coming from.
And because you already have a suppressor on your primary, you can shoot defender cameras and other gadgets with it without alerting the enemies. That is why with your handgun, you can attach a muzzle brake and laser for added damage and accuracy when you need to switch to it during a reload.

Just be careful when peeking around corners
Speaking of suppressed damage. The AR-15.50 has 52. And that’s the primary reason for this loadout being #1. But it’s not the only reason. The 2.5x scope, still more popularly known as ACOG, gives you a clear view of your enemies while shooting at them, especially with the suppressor which hides the muzzle flash, not just for your enemies, but for your vision as well. The 2.5x zoom that the ACOG provides is the ideal zoom for Mav’s murder holes.
With this loadout, you’ll focus on fragging enemies inside objective areas through the murder holes, and with that, you’ll need the claymore to defend your six against roamers and flankers. With 52 damage from your suppressed primary gun, you’ll make quick work of unsuspecting enemies without alerting the other enemies where your shots are coming from.
