Its speed makes it insanely fast to kill, and with a huge magazine, you’ll be able to take out a lot of targets. Make sure to use the attachments we’ve listed, or else you’ll have a lot of trouble with accuracy. If you aren’t able to control recoil well, this gun might not be for you.

Best secondary for ranked play in MW2

We won’t go into too much detail here, because you can only use the Combat Knife or X12 pistol in ranked. If you find yourself having to use one, you’ve likely misjudged a situation or have not monitored ammo.

What secondary you go for is entirely up to you. For those who are often in the thick of things, a combat knife can be incredibly effective and is far more deadly than the X12. That being said, the X12 is perfect for keeping enemies at bay for short periods of time. Beware, if a foe spots you using the X12 they’ll likely rush you as their main will dominate it – so only use it in absolute emergencies.

Focus on mobility and don’t forget your tacticals, lethals, and field upgrades. Remember that the ultimate perks are the ones that work best for you, even if they’re base perks. Double Time, Battle Hardened, Fast Hands, Dead Silence, and Bomb Squad can be great to add to a ranked play loadout in the right hands.

While there may be new additions to the list come MW2 and Warzone Season 5, we believe mastering these weapons will stand you in great stead when the next wave of Ranked players decide to join the arena. Happy hunting, and make sure to clear out that trophy system!
