Best M1 Garand gear in Call of Duty: Vanguard

The M1 Garand, a classic weapon from the WWII era, returns in Call of Duty: Vanguard and looks great. While not as great as a real sniper rifle or as fast as an assault rifle, the M1 Garand is a great middle ground. We will dive into what would make the best equipment for this famous pistol.

This assault rifle is available early in the game, and if you get used to the feel of the weapon, you may want to keep it for a long time. It's not as heavy as a full sniper rifle, but you can still get some great shots from a distance despite its weight. Despite its decent accuracy and firepower, the M1 Garand's ammo memory is very low. We can fix it.

• Cylinder head: MX silencer
• Optics: M19 4.0X Flip
• Stock: Chariot S3 TC
• Rear handle: polymer handle

The MX silencer provides sound suppression and increased accuracy on the weapon, making it a perfect weapon for snipers actively moving from place to place. While the downward aiming speed is reduced by one stat, you won't need to use it if you're standing still somewhere on the map. This also increases the ammo stat by more than double.

Next, the M19 4.0X Flip offers the best of both worlds. It gives you a long 4.0X scope with a small speed disadvantage and gives you much more accuracy with a pistol that can be otherwise bulky. Plus, you can go from 1,5x to 4,0x magnification, allowing you to engage in close-range encounters at short notice.

The third is the Chariot S3 TC. This kick greatly improves aiming stability and jerk resistance. It also improves recoil and initial accuracy. This comes at a cost in terms of movement speed and rate of fire. Since the M1 Garand works best as a medium to long range weapon with a lot of stability, we are willing to make this sacrifice.

Last comes the Polymer Grip. This increases accuracy and shock resistance without any cons. Getting a more stable grip with a lower aiming penalty from incoming shots is perfect for any sniper on the battlefield.

If you're curious about what other assault rifles can do in Call of Duty: Vanguard, the introductory STG44 might be worth exploring. It's more automatic, so maybe it could be your style if the M1 Garand doesn't make you feel good.
