We’ve suggested the following perks to be the strongest with the Cronen Squall:

• Perk 3: Battle Hardened
• Perk 4: Fast Hands
• Tactical: Stim
• Lethal: Thermite

Secondaries are important to equip with your primary as that extra ‘bail-out’ gun in situations where you need to switch to a gun to get that kill in MW2.

With the Cronen Squall being a battle rifle, it’s important to consider equipping a flexible secondary with the Cronen Squall.

The best secondaries we can recommend for the Cronen Squall is:

Secondary: Basilisk or SMG with Overkill
