Looking for the best Warzone 2 Season 5 Pistol loadout? You’re in the right spot here with The Nerd Stash! The Pistol class is an excellent option as a Sniper support, or you can just pick them alongside an Assault Rifle to rule the lobby. But a good pistol is not all you need. In fact, you would need to have a suitable loadout and the proper attachments to have the ultimate pocket weapon on your side. Ready to build a pistol soldier? Let’s get started!
Best Warzone 2 Pistol Class Weapons Ranked
- X13 Auto
- P890
- .50 GS
Warzone 2 Season 5 is not the meta period for using the Pistol class. But like some weapons that you can always use and enjoy, pistols can still pack a punch in Warzone 2 and MW2. However, the ranking you see above is based on the recent nerfs of the Basilisk. The Warzone 2 and MW2 revolver used to kill targets from close to mid-range with only two to three taps. And now the cowboy time is over in Season 5.
In this new Season, the power of the Pistol class is back to almighty X13 Auto again. This pistol can be used as an SMG, or you can bring two of them as Akimbo on the field; double trouble! Here are the best Warzone 2 Season 5 Pistol loadouts.
Best X13 Pistol Loadout
- Barrel: Impact Point
- Stock: X13 Coachwhip Stock
- Muzzle: Slab-10 Comp
- Underbarrel: Phase-3 Grip
- Magazine: 50-Round Drum
For the best Warzone 2 Season 5 Pistol loadout here, we need an Impact Point barrel for the X13 Auto. This barrel suddenly changes the look of this pistol to an SMG. And with it comes the abilities of an SMG, while you still won’t be able to hit mid-range shots easily with it. However, in order to control the recoil on this weapon, the best thing is to mount a Slab-10 Comp muzzle.
After that, you need to add an X13 Coachwhip stock to maintain accuracy and have even less recoil. But the X13 Auto is a rapid-fire Pistol, which means that the recoil on this weapon is too much for a muzzle and a stock. So, why not add an underbarrel to the mix? This pistol already has the mobility standards you need, so pick a Phase-3 Grip and enjoy the new SMG you’ve built! Also, don’t forget to add a 50 Round Drum magazine under this weapon; that fire rate needs it.
Best X13 Auto Akimbo Pistol Loadout
- Rear Grip: Akimbo X13
- Barrel: XRK Luc-9
- Muzzle: FT Steel Fire
- Laser: Xten Sidearm-L400
- Magzine: 50-Round Drum
Not a fan of using single handguns? The Akimbo rear grip in Warzone 2 and MW2 is just there for you. You can have the best Warzone 2 Season 5 Pistol loadout by picking two X13 Auto pistols. We’re talking about rushing through the buildings and clearing them out in under 10 seconds. However, that’s not the only attachment you need to make this loadout the best you can use in Season 5.
First things first, pick an XRK Luc-9 barrel to add some sprint to fire speed. Then, it’s time for a good-looking laser for the best Warzone 2 Season 5 Pistol loadout here. One of those lasers that won’t be visible to the enemy targets’ eyes, like the Xten Sidearm-L400. This laser is not as good as the visible ones, but if you easily expose yourself to a laser, you’re already dead before getting inside that building we mentioned earlier.
And at the end, there’s one necessary attachment you need for this weapon, and that’s the 50-Round Drum mag. You can still go for the 33-Round magazine for better movement, but you’ll run out of ammo after taking down one target only. And for the final attachment, you can use the FT Steel Fire silencer to add damage range and reduce some recoil. You can also go for the other muzzle options for this loadout if you want more accuracy from your pistols, but you’ll lose the damage bonus with them.
