News - Warzone 2 Pistols (handguns) Ranked Worst To Best. Warzone 2
Modern warfare ii worst to best introduction
I've got to say that ranking the pistols in Modern Warfare 2 is hard. They're all pretty decent, and you can't go wrong with either, but I'm comfortable with my final list, and by the end of this article you'll know about all the pistols unique stats and how they stack up against each other because this is in fact a worse two best series where I rank all weapons within a class after I've unlocked Platinum camo and have a considerable amount of experience with each jump.
5th place pistol (worst!)
Right into it with our first pistol at the number five spot. The worst pistol in Modern Warfare 2 is going to be the X12. The X12 is a basic pistol, and because pistols are so neck and neck. I'm going to try to share what each pistol specializes in that makes them stand out, but the X12 doesn't really excel in any particular stat or play style; it's a pretty balanced pistol all around.
It does have a slower time to kill, however, within pistol range, and you can feel the time of that one extra shot it takes to kill with the X12 compared to the other four pistols that are in this game at long range. The X12 can kill faster than average for a pistol, but in practice, you're not going to be using the X12 at long range, so the long range doesn't really matter; it's all about close to mid-range with pistols, and the X12 is a bit behind in that department.
The nice thing about the X12, though, is that it has a 17-round magazine and low recoil. It also has the fastest semi-auto fire rate, so it's pretty easy to use. It's fairly forgiving, so you can do well with it, but it just doesn't have that little oomph to it that the other pistols have. The X12 is the one pistol that sticks out as being a little less powerful than the others, and that is why it is at its worst, but again, you can't go wrong with either of the five pistols that are currently in the game.
4th place pistol
Next up at the number four spot, we have the Point 50 GS, or the Desert Eagle. If you're familiar with some of the earlier Call of Duty games, this is now my personal favorite pistol to use. It is the king of consistency, and the unique thing about the 50 GS is that it's essentially a two-shot kill at any range, whether it be 10 meters or 100 meters; it's going to be a two-tap 360 millisecond time to kill as long as you're not hating Limbs, and that's without the faster fire rate trigger.
Now, that's a relatively slow time to kill for close range, but the 0.50 GS is the fastest killing pistol from mid to long range, and unlike the X12 and actually most of the other pistols, the 0.50 GS has longer base range stats, near assault rifle-level bullet velocity, and a low recoil that makes it actually viable at long range, plus it's able to one-shot headshots up to 25 meters.
So this is a great option if you can reliably land headshots or if you need a primary or secondary weapon that can put up a fight at all ranges. It's not going to be forgiving if you're missing your shots at close range or not hitting headshots at close range, but if you can do that, it is a really good weapon. Again, it's my personal favorite, so it kind of pains me to put it at the number four spot, but the remaining pistols are better at being secondary pistols and have some more versatility to do it, which is why the 50 GS is sitting at the number 4 spot, and the third-best pistol in Modern Warfare 2 is the P890.
3rd place pistol
This is a sidearm that fires slower than the X12 but deals much more damage. It will be a two-shot kill as long as you can land upper body shots up to 20 meters, and that two-shot kill is actually the fastest killing in class, ignoring a one-shot kill. The P890 packs some punch, and I absolutely love it for that.
It feels so good to use, unfortunately. Beyond 20-ish meters, its damage severely drops off, and the P890 starts to fall behind its competition the further out your target is. It also has the worst bullet velocity in its class, which reinforces the fact that the P890 is intended for close-range combat.
It's not that great when you start to stretch its range out, but it's a secondary hot SWAT pistol to use, and it's good enough that you can handle it as a primary if you want. It's also amazing as a secondary hot SWAT pistol; you just have to pop two shots off real quick, and you can take out up to three enemies before you have to reload, and that's without any attachments.
You can get more bang for your buck if you put on one of the extended magazines. It's just a very strong, well-rounded traditional pistol, and again, you can't go wrong with it.
2nd place pistol
Moving on to the runner-up, though The second-best pistol in Modern Warfare 2, in my opinion, is the X13 Auto. This is the one and only fully automatic handgun that we have in the game right now, and it pretty much maintains the fastest time to kill a cross-range target among all the pistols, assuming you can land your shots in 1v1 pistol scenarios.
Of course, if you can land your shots without wasting up within the first range profile, you can reduce the number of shots to kill to just four, and the x13 actually kills 15 milliseconds faster than the p890. Even though I just said it's a fast time to kill in class, that's the one exception. You do have to land your shots without wasting time on the X13 to do that, but yeah, the S13 is just straight-up good.
The tricky part is that you have to handle its recoil. You can kid it with recoil attachments to get the recoil pretty low, and you'll still have pretty decent aim-down sight speeds. There's also a barrel that converts the X13 into something like a mini-SMG. It opens up a couple attachment slots, so if you'd like to go that direction with it, you can also go the other way.
Route with the X13s. And have that dual Glock action going on to kill people even faster, so there are a lot of ways you can go about using this weapon. It's one of the strongest pistols in the game, but at the same time, I also feel like the P890 is a bit more reliable and consistent, which we have to factor in.
The recoil with the X13, you know, is the better option, but it really depends on your Play Store. I'm going to reiterate throughout this article that you're really, really good. I just think the X13 is a bit more versatile and viable than the other pistols we've gone over so far in this article. That's why the x13 is at the number two spot, which brings us to the number one pistol.
1st place pistol (best!)
I'm on the road to 50,000 subscribers, and any support is appreciated, but the best pistol in Modern Warfare 2 at number one is the basilisk; hopefully that's how you pronounce it. I actually never even looked into that, so I'm going to call it the Magnum for the remainder of this article, but this weapon is a high-damage revolver that brings a lot to the table.
