In CSGO, players had to choose between the M4A1-S and the M4A4, with only one available in the Buy Menu. In CS2, however, you can keep both in your loadout and decide which to use at the start of each round. Here’s a guide on how to add both the M4A1 and M4A4 to your CS2 loadout.
Having Both the M4A1 and M4A4 in Your CS2 Loadout
To add both the M4A1 and M4A4 to your CS2 loadout, start by opening the “Loadout” menu from the home screen. Then, go to the CT loadout, filter for rifles, and add the missing weapon to a rifle slot. If this is still confusing, follow the steps below to make sure you add both rifles to your loadout correctly:
- Step 1: Launch CS2 and go to the home screen.
- Step 2: Click on the “LOADOUT” option at the top of the screen.
- Step 3: Select “EQUIP CT” to access the Counter-Terrorist loadout.
- Step 4: Set the filter to “Rifles“.
- Step 5: Click and hold on the M4A1-S or M4A4—whichever is missing—then drag and drop it into a rifle slot.
- Step 6: Both the M4A1-S and M4A4 will now be in your loadout, available in the “Buy Menu” at the start of each round.
