The pistol collection of Warzone 2 showcases a versatile set of weapons with smooth handling and excellent mobility. Each handgun allows you to quickly move around the Al Mazrah map instead of the standard weapons that can sometimes slow you down. So, if you are looking for a good gun to use in these matches, we’ll show you the five best pistols in Warzone 2 Season 4.
5) .50 GS
The .50 GS has one of the best damage rates compared to other pistols in Warzone 2. It also features outstanding recoil control while firing, making it easier to handle for battle. Furthermore, veteran players will notice an improvement to the .50 GS’ Barrels and progression, thanks to a bug fix from a previous patch.
Players can equip the following modifications to boost the performance of the .50 GS to make it one the best pistols in Warzone 2:
- Muzzle: EXF Fifty GS
- Barrel: SA Tyrant Fifty
- Laser: FJX DIOD-70
- Trigger Action: SA Competition Trigger
- Magazine: 10 Round Mag
An alternative build to this would be to go Akimbo with the .50GS, which makes for an exceptionally powerful close-range pistol setup. Remember, while unlocking the .50 GS simply requires you to reach Level 13, an Akimbo build means hitting Level 17.
4) X13 Auto
The X13 Auto has the highest fire rate out of all the pistols of Warzone 2, which in combination with excellent recoil control, mobility, and handling, makes it the perfect sidearm for taking out groups of enemies quickly when your primary isn’t available. The Season 3 Reloaded update also added a minimum Armor Damage to improve its long-range capabilities, including the P890 and the Basilisk.
Those attributes alone put the X13 on our list of best pistols in Warzone 2, but there’s always room for improvement. Once you’ve acquired the X13 Auto, place these attachments for a meta build:
- Barrel: XRK Sidewinder-6 Slide
- Laser: XTEN Sidearm-L400
- Muzzle: FT Steel Fire
- Rear Grip: Akimbo X13
- Magazine: 24 Round Mag
The X13 belongs to the same weapon class as its similarly-named predecessor, so you’ll need to reach Level 10 with the X12 to unlock it.
3) Basilisk
The Basilisk is one of the best pistols in Warzone 2 due to its superior recoil control, mobility, and all-out firepower. Although it has a small number of rounds, it’s a handgun that can take down enemies with one bullet, which is obviously super handy — so long as you can aim! For a meta build, boost the strength of the Basilisk with these recommended attachments, which increase its range speed:
- Barrel: 10.5″ FTAC Arrow
- Laser: REVO-LSO 7MW
- Trigger Action: Bryson HTA
- Rear Grip: Akimbo Basilisk
- Ammunition: .500 Snake Shot
2) Akimbo P890
The P890 is a lethal pistol that can kill enemies in close-quarters combat, especially with the powerful Akimbo build. In return, players can accurately target foes and swiftly move around to evade attacks with this gun on hand. But, if you want to increase the stats of the P890, here are five attachments for its loadout to essentially create what we consider to be the best pistol in Warzone 2:
- Barrel: XRK Tacops Barrel
- Muzzle: Forge DX90-F
- Ammunition: .45 Auto Armor Piercing
- Trigger Action: Bruen Express
- Rear Grip: Akimbo P890
Fortunately, unlocking the P890 is incredibly simple, as you only need to get to Level 5. You can also expect a fix with the weapon’s trigger performance due to a recent bug fix from the current season.
1) FTAC Siege
Season 3 Reloaded previously introduced a new pistol for Warzone 2 players, which certainly sets the bar for this gun class. This weapon is none other than the dynamic FTAC Siege with its outstanding mobility, tremendously high fire rate, and exceptional close-quarters capabilities. Once you see the handgun in action, you could almost say it has the makings of an SMG, especially with the right loadout.
Season 4 also brought in an Akimbo FTAC Siege, which can be unlocked through the 25 Hip Fire Operator kills challenge.
So, if you want to add some attachments to the FTAC Siege, we recommend adding these materials:
- Rear Grip: Akimbo FTAC Siege
- Stock: FTAC Folder
- Underbarrel: Rebel-HX
- Barrel: CMRN-50
- Magazine: 50 Round Drum
