Best attachments for the Chimera in Modern Warfare 2
The Chimera shines in close-quarters combat, hence it is critical to equip attachments that improve mobility, recoil control, and ADS speed. You will gain a significant edge if you manage to land the first shot with this gun, thus having high mobility in conjunction with ADS speed will undoubtedly help you win fights.
With that in mind, here are its recommend attachments:

The Polarfire-S muzzle and the 10" SA Phoenix barrel are both compatible with each other and offer enhanced damage range, bullet velocity, recoil smoothness, recoil control, hip fire accuracy, as well as sound suppression.
