Looking to build the best Modern Warfare 2 9mm Daemon Pistol loadout? Here are our recommended attachments, Perks, and equipment to use with the new Season 5 Reloaded sidearm.

Modern Warfare 2 Season 5 Reloaded introduced players to three new weapons, one of which is a completely new sidearm called the 9mm Daemon.

This new Pistol packs a serious punch, and with the correct attachments, it can be one of the strongest Secondary weapons to run in the game. So, with that said, here’s our best Modern Warfare 2 9mm Daemon loadout, including our recommended attachments, Perks, and Equipment to use for the Handgun.

Best Modern Warfare 2 9mm Daemon loadout attachments

  • Barrel: FT Competition
  • Trigger Action: Rapid 30 Trigger
  • Magazine: 20 Round Mag
  • Rear Grip: Magwell Grip
  • Laser: FJX Diod-70

To kick off our best Modern Warfare 2 9mm Daemon loadout, we’ve chosen the FT Competition barrel in order to boost the Handgun’s damage range, recoil control, bullet velocity, and sights as this attachment provides a built-in red dot sight.

The Rapid 30 Trigger will increase the 9mm Daemon’s fire rate, which is a no-brainer as it will allow you to get more shots off, so long as you have a fast trigger finger. With this increased fire rate, you’ll want to equip the 20 Round Mag so that you don’t run out of bullets before finishing the job.

As for Rear Grip, the Magwell Grip will increase your reload quickness, allowing you to get back to combat faster, while the FJX Diod-70 laser provides some mobility, improving aim down sight and sprint to fire speed.

Best Perks & Equipment for Modern Warfare 2 9mm Daemon loadout

  • Base Perk 1: Bomb Squad
  • Base Perk 2: Double Time
  • Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
  • Ultimate Perk: Quick Fix
  • Tactical Equipment: Stun Grenade
  • Lethal Equipment: Frag Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Dead Silence

When it comes to Perks, we’ve opted for Bomb Squad and Double Time, as combined, these will provide some much-needed mobility and survivability against explosives in the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer match.

For the Bonus Perk, Fast Hands is perfect for when you need to switch to and from the 9mm Daemon, while Quick Fix is a strong Ultimate Perk for those who like to stay in and around enemy lines.

For Equipment, we’ve chosen a classic combination of the Stun Grenade and Frag Grenade. Both of these are tried and tested, offering strong options for breaching areas and keeping enemies at bay. The Dead Silence Field Upgrade will offer you a short time of mobility and stealth when you need it.

How to unlock the 9mm Daemon in Modern Warfare 2

In order to unlock the 9mm Daemon in MW2, players must unlock Sector E0 of the Season 5 Battle Pass and then get 15 Operator headshot kills with pistols.

Sector E0 is host to all three of the new Season 5 Reloaded weapons, with the Pickaxe and 9mm Daemon both requiring you to complete challenges to unlock them, while the Lachmann Shroud requires you to earn all of the Sector’s rewards before being earned.

Best 9mm Daemon alternatives in Modern Warfare 2

If you’re looking for an alternative to the 9mm Daemon, definitely give the FTAC Siege a go, as this Secondary Handgun is more like a mini SMG.

If you prefer semi-automatic Handguns, the P890 requires a good trigger finger, but it’s absolutely deadly if you can hit your shots fast.
