There are a plethora of ammo categories in the game, but which one is the best ammo type in Modern Warfare 2? Well, many factors go into making a gun extremely potent in combat. Choosing the correct ammo type is vital for making a weapon perform optimally. Each ammo category serves a specific purpose based on the features it offers to the players. Not only does ammo depend on the weapon, but also other factors like play style and map. Let’s look at the best ammo type in Modern Warfare 2.

While there are many variables to consider when choosing ammo types in the game, some categories really make it easy and stand out from the rest. As odd as it sounds, multiple ammo types can become the best, and we will include rounds that are strong in every meta.

Armor Piercing Ammo Type in Modern Warfare 2

The Armor Piercing ammo is an all-around solution to multiple threats and stands as the best ammo type in the game. Not only can they take down armored enemies but also heavily armored vehicles. The Armor Piercing ammo is a great counter to killstreak rewards, including SAT COMs, VTOL jet, and Wheelson-HS. Last but not least, these ammos do tremendous amounts of damage to the enemy, which is one of the fundamental factors when considering any bullet.

High Velocity

The High-Velocity ammo is the bread and butter of the game. They are one of the most reliable and versatile ammo types. Providing a significant increase in bullet penetration, these rounds are a good choice for short- and long-range fights. The benefit of this ammo is that it is stackable with other attachments as well.

Frangible

The Frangible ammo type is common but incredibly useful in the game. Once the bullet hits an enemy player, it applies a wounded debuff. This slows down the player’s healing capabilities, making them more vulnerable on the battlefield. The Frangible ammo is very useful against fast and elusive players who are hard to take down.

Incendiary

The Incendiary ammo starts a burning damage effect upon contact with an enemy unit. It is useful against enemy players and vehicles. The Incendiary rounds are lethal at long range when shot using bolt-action rifles. It also helps to retain more ammunition because of the high and lingering damage which it offers. Similar to Armor Piercing ammo, these have a significant advantage over killstreaks.
