Weapon Tier List
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, several different weapons are available for players. Here is the full tier list ranking these weapons according to strength – Tier S being the most powerful and Tier C being the weakest.
S-Tier | This tier of weapons comprises the most popular weapon choices for competitive players. These guns are tried and true, boasting power unlike any other. | M4, Kastov 765, TAQ-56, Vaznev-9K, Lachmann Sub, Signal 50, FSS Hurricane |
A-Tier | These guns are close to being in the S tier, but they still lack some qualities, and when it comes down to fighting two people of equal skill, they will lose out. | Kastov 74U, M16, Lachmann-762, FTAC Recon, VEL 46, MCPR-300 |
B-Tier | The mid-tier weapons may be found here. They’re still usable, but you’ll need the correct attachments for them to stand a chance against higher-level weapons. | Lachmann-556, MINIBAK, STB 556, Fennec 45, MX9, 556 Icarus, RAPP H, SP-X 80 |
C-Tier | This is the point at which weapons begin to lose their use. Attachments can assist with this but are largely for visual or personal preference reasons. Some players pull off some great techniques with them and absolutely win occasionally, but it is advised to utilize them sparingly because they will lose a lot of bouts if you rely primarily on them. | Kastov 545, TAQ-V, PDSW 528, Sakin MG38, RAAL MG, X13 Auto Handgun, EBR-14 |
