There are many skills that all goodCall Of Duty: Warzone Mobileplayers share. Good gunplay, map awareness, and fluid movement between cover are all valuable skills, as is building the muscle memory for automatically switching to a sidearm inclose-quarters combat, rather than wasting time on target due to reloading a primary weapon. Automatically pulling a pistol to finish off an enemy if the player’s main weapon magazine goes dry, needs to become second nature.
There isn’t an awful lot of variation between pistols in Warzone Mobile, with a couple of exceptions. One thing to keep in mind though, is that the desktop and the mobile versions of Warzoneuses crossplay to keep a player’s progression, unlocks, and inventory in sync. This list will cover the best of the standard sidearms in the game.
A Reliable Modern Composite Handgun
Recommended weapon mods:
The X12 is a basic, lightweight, and reliable 9MM pistol. It seems to have been modeled on the Glock 17 or similar. The lightweight construction means it has great mobility and handling. And with a 17-round magazine and 34-rounds in reserve, it has plenty of potential DPS.
However, the X12 suffers from poor range and damage and only mediocre accuracy. It is a decent enough sidearm, but there are better options available.
Hard Hitting .50 Cal Hand Cannon
Loosely modeled on the Desert Eagle, the .50 GS is a high-damage sidearm chambered in .50 caliber. And just like its real-life counterpart, it has a magazine size of only 7-rounds. Some revolvers carry more than this. The player only has 14 rounds in reserve as well, so they need to be used wisely.
However, few pistols perform better in the role of a sidearm used to finish off an enemy that is nearly dead without needing to reload a primary weapon. In most cases, one shot on target should be enough to get the job done.
Powerful .500 Revolver
The basilisk resembles the Colt Python in more than just the looks department. This is one hard-hitting revolver. And with an 8” barrel, an accurate one as well. The low rate of fire, and the 5-round chamber load should not be much of a problem, due to the high damage. Having 20 rounds as reloads is quite nice as well.
Poor mobility and handling let the Basilisk down, though; it is the worst of all sidearms inCall Of Duty: Warzone Mobilein this regard. But when used selectively and intelligently, it can be devastating.
A Machine Pistol, Not A Sidearm
This 9mm machine pistol is undoubtedly based on the TEC-9. But unlike its real-world inspiration, it is actually a useful weapon. Where the FTAC Siege really shines, is being used as a backup weapon by a sniper or a player who uses some other long-range weapon. With the addition of the wire stock and drum magazine, it becomes apocket-sized SMG.
But of course, there has to be a downside, and there are many with the FTAC Siege. It has an insane rate of fire but poor accuracy and recoil control. Unfortunately, this little weapon screams out to be used in arun-and-gunstyle. Don’t do this, as the only thing the FTAC Siege will hit when unloading on full-auto is the bottom of the magazine in seconds. Stick to burst fire.
An Upgrade To The .50 GS
The GS Magna is an upgrade over its sibling, the .50 GS, in every way from a usefulness point of view, but they do differ quite a lot on paper. The GS Magna does less damage but has a higher rate of fire. It is also much more accurate. With the same 7-round magazine with 14 in reserve, the higher rate of fire isn’t an obvious bonus.
This is one accurate sidearm, though. It is not unknown forCall Of Duty: Warzone Mobileplayers toscore headshotswith this pistol out to medium range.
The Assassin’s Pistol
The P890 is chambered for .45 subsonic rounds. When equipped with a silencer, the P890 becomes almost silent. This is the perfect partner for the Lachmann Shroud SMG. For players who enjoy stealth gameplay, this is the goto loadout.
The P890 doesn’t have high single-shot damage, but considering it is supposed to be used at almost point-blank range, this shouldn’t be a problem. The 8-round magazine is a little disappointing, but this is a .45 semi-auto, so it makes sense. 14 rounds are available in reserve.
The Handgun John Wick Would Choose
Choosing the best sidearm inCall Of Duty: Warzone Mobileis not a simple task. But in the end, the simple consideration should be utility, as this is only a backup weapon. And with this in mind, the X13 Auto is a clear winner. Mostly because this is the only standard-format handgun in Warzome that has a full-auto fire mode setting.
With a 17-round magazine, and 34-rounds in reserve, this sidearm can be used as a mini SMG in a pinch, especially with the right weapon mod setup.
