This dedicated fan, through a large process of trial and error, has discovered a formula that shows recoil reduction on the CR-56 AMAX. Using this formula fans can piece together what attachments have the biggest impact on the weapon in regards to recoil.

As with his previous guides, Reddit user NotMegatron has condensed their experiment to a single graphic making it easy to view. The goal was to answer three main questions: what are the actual values of each attachment, what happens if attachments are stacked, and how accurate can he get his formula.
By testing each of the attachments individually, NotMegatron was able to record the pixel different in each and derive a percentage of change from the default gun. By testing different attachments the fan was able to determine the best assault loadout for the CR-56 AMAX that reduces recoil.
The test revealed that the Compensator Muzzle had the biggest impact on the recoil of the AMAX reducing it by 20%. The FSS 8.3’’ Intruder barrel had the most negative effect by increasing recoil an additional 17%. After some combination and testing, NotMegatron found that equipping the Compensator, Ranger Foregrip, XRK Zodiac S440, XRK CR-56 Rubberized, and Scout Combat Optic to the Cr-56 AMAX resulted in a 53% reduction of weapon recoil. This attachment combination makes for the best possible loadout for the XR-56 AMAX when it comes to reducing weapon recoil.
The Reddit user found that their math theory ended up being 93-99.9% accurate in most cases. By breaking down each attachment to numeric values fans are now able to know exactly how impactful each attachment can be to the gun’s overall performance. Less recoil usually means a better chance of hitting the target without having to adjust. Every combat advantage in Modern Warfare can become crucial in the midst of a battle.
Recoil reduction can become especially important for assault rifles and snipers. Long ranged combat can suffer in both Modern Warfare and Warzone if recoil is too high making this guide extremely useful to more mechanically minded players.
