In this guide, we show you how to find the M4A1 in Ghost Recon Wildlands. You need to infiltrate a small Unidad camp.
The M4A1 is an assault rifle that players are already familiar with from other games. It became well-known, among other things, through Counter Strike, where it can only be purchased on the Counter-Terrorist side. Ghost Recon Wildlands offers you 23 assault rifles to choose from. One of them is the M4A1.
The M4A1 has a high rate of fire and is favored by stealth players. The highest value of the weapon in its standard state is the noise reduction achieved through a suppressor. The damage is on the lower end with standard parts. In this guide, we show you where to find the M4A1.
Finding M4A1 in GRW – Protected by Unidad
You can find the quiet assault rifle in a smaller Unidad camp in a forest. However, if you use weapons with suppressors, it’s no problem getting to the weapon crate.
The M4A1 weapon crate is located in the Flor De Oro region, in the southeast of the world map. This region has a difficulty of 5 skulls, so you should be careful there.
- We usually recommend taking a helicopter for the weapon guides. Since the target is located in a forest this time, we opted for a motorcycle, which allowed us to ride through the forest to the camp.
- Our starting point is at the eastern edge of Libertad, beneath the lumberjack village Rocha.
- Follow the main road out of Rocha southward.
- To avoid Unidad patrols, you can divert onto an unpaved path next to the road.
- Follow the path until you reach the marked starting point in the next image.
- This starting point is located right next to a Unidad camp, which is guarded by many enemies. So, behave discreetly there.
- With the motorcycle, car, or on foot, take the blue-marked path from the starting point towards “Hunting Lodge in Armadillo”
- On the forest path, we didn’t encounter any enemies during the test, but civilians. There is no reason to shoot here.
- In the forest behind the target point, you can get an overview of the enemies at the hunting lodge.
- The drone will also assist you here, with which you can reveal the Unidad enemies dispersed around the lodge.
- Choose a safe scouting point, as one of the enemies is also a sniper watching the forest.
- After you’ve revealed the enemies, you have two options.
- 1. Try to sneak to the weapon crate, loot it, and run away quickly. – This is a fast method with a lot of risk.
- 2. Kill the Unidad one by one. – This is the slower method, but with more safety.
- In the test, we chose the second method of killing all enemies and then looting the weapon.
- We started with the sniper and then gradually killed the enemies patrolling around the lodge.
- We used the HTI sniper rifle, which was equipped with a suppressor.
- After you have killed all the enemies, you can go to the weapon crate without any problems.
With the M4A1 you have an assault rifle that is particularly suited for “silent” killings. Players who prefer stealth tactics thus have a good weapon for these purposes.
M4A1 Comparison with Mk 17
In a direct comparison with the Mk 17 , the M4A1 has significantly less damage and penetration. Also, in terms of precision and range, the M4 is worse than the Mk 17. However, this is not surprising, as these two values are the best in the Mk 17.
However, the M4 offers more maneuverability and a significantly higher rate of fire. Due to the existing suppressor, the noise reduction is also greatly increased.
