Explore M4 Assault Rifle upgrades in Hitman: Blood Money, including R.I.S. Handguard, Silencer Type 2, and Double Clip.
The M4 Assault Rifle, based on the M4A1 Carbine, is a large, un-concealable weapon that can be modified with the following upgrades:
Tier 1 Upgrades:
- R.I.S. Handguard: A special handguard required for the Laser Sight and Pistol Grip upgrades.
- Low Velocity Ammo: Fires slower and with less power, but is more silent and creates less recoil. Cannot be used with other ammo types.
- Butt Stock: Adds a lightweight butt stock to reduce recoil and increase precision.
Tier 2 Upgrades:
- Extra Ammo: Provides two extra clips and expands all existing clips.
- Laser Sight: A basic laser sight that allows for more precision. Requires the R.I.S. Handguard upgrade.
- Rail Mount: Used for the Red Dot Sight upgrade.
- Armor Piercing Ammo: Has more power and can penetrate doors. Cannot be used with other ammo types.
Tier 3 Upgrades:
- Silencer Type 1: A basic silencer that makes the weapon quieter. Cannot be used with the Silencer Type 2 upgrade.
- Pistol Grip: Adds extra support and makes the weapon steadier. Requires the R.I.S. Handguard upgrade.
Tier 4 Upgrades:
- Double Clip: Gives you two additional clips and speeds up reloading. Cannot be used with the Drum Magazine upgrade.
- Red Dot Sight: A two-level zoom red dot scope that maximizes precision. Requires the Rail Mount upgrade. Cannot be used with the Scope Type 1 upgrade.
Tier 5 Upgrades:
- Silencer Type 2: The best of the two silencers. Cannot be used with the Silencer Type 1 upgrade. It lessens the damage of the weapon.
- Drum Magazine: Adds 100 rounds to your weapon but greatly increases recoil. Cannot be used with the Double Clip upgrade.
- Scope Type 1: A large scope that goes on top of the rifle with better zoom than the Red Dot Sight upgrade.
Tips
- Consider the trade-offs for each upgrade; for example, Low Velocity Ammo is quieter but less powerful, while Armor Piercing Ammo is powerful but noisy.
- The R.I.S. Handguard is a prerequisite for both the Laser Sight and Pistol Grip, making it a key early upgrade if you plan to use those.
- Silencer Type 1 and Silencer Type 2 cannot be used together, so choose the one that best suits your needs. Silencer Type 2 reduces weapon damage.
- The Red Dot Sight and Scope Type 1 are mutually exclusive, as are Double Clip and Drum Magazine.
