How do we come to our assessment? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been on the market for some time now and is currently in its 6th season.
To save you the time of experimenting, we have ventured into various matches, had to die many times, and that’s where we arrived at our findings.

Meta in CoD: MW2 – The best weapons with setup
Is there currently an overpowered weapon in MW2? The Cronen Squall looks like a very deadly contender. It is accurate and can pulverize opponents with very few shots.
Which are the best MW2 weapons? Assault rifles with low recoil are still the best choice for soldiers even in Modern Warfare 2.
With the right attachments, you can not only cover long distances but also shoot down opponents excellently in close combat. This makes these rifles the top choice for players.
Paired with a submachine gun or a rocket launcher for taking out drones, no one can stop you anymore, ensuring that your team remains invisible.

What makes the TAQ strong? The TAQ can score not only with solid stats. You receive the rifle as one of the first assault rifles for your collection. It has a slower fire rate than the M4 but can score with better mobility and handling.
Alternative to the TAQ: If you want to use another solid assault rifle, go with the Kastov 762. The rifle has seemingly worse stats at first glance but can deal more damage and has manageable recoil.
With the right attachments, the Russian rifle can perform even better on the battlefield but requires a bit more finesse in recoil control.

What makes the Vaznev strong? Vaznev is a strong SMG that stands out with high accuracy and minimal recoil. It can score at short and medium distances but doesn’t shy away from long-distance fights. With the right mods, you create a real monster.
Alternative to the Vaznev: As an alternative for intense close combat, we recommend the Vel 46 or for reliable penetration at a distance, the Lachmann-MP.
CoD MW2: The best Rocket Launcher – PILA
What defines these weapons? Rocket launchers are explosive killing machines for vehicles and opponents. When used correctly, you can flatten vehicles or greet your opponents with them.
What makes the PILA strong? The PILA is your first rocket launcher that you can unlock through the weapon forge. With the launcher, you can not only manually target and fire at opponents but also remotely blow up vehicles.
This makes the PILA especially the top choice in the fight against pesky drones since you can pack it into your loadout immediately.
Alternative to the PILA: If you need more penetration power against vehicles, we recommend the Strela-P. If you prefer a launcher for manual battles against enemies, then take the RPG-7 instead.
The weapon meta is a wild topic: We have currently listed the best weapons for you, but with each coming season and associated nerfs and buffs, our list could change. So bookmark our overview, as we continuously update our list and even expand it with future alternatives.
