9mm Daemon Pistol in Warzone

Warzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded is here, bringing the brand-new 9mm Daemon Pistol. Despite being a more traditional semi-auto sidearm, it looks to be a powerful choice, so here’s how to make the best 9mm Daemon loadout in Warzone including attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone now have well over 60 weapons for players to use, with even more arriving in the Season 5 Reloaded update. Alongside the new Lachmann Shroud SMG, the semi-automatic 9mm Daemon Pistol has arrived.

Pistols have long been powerful choices in Warzone 2, and the 9mm Daemon looks to be among the best. If you’re looking for the best 9mm Daemon in Warzone, here are all of the attachments, Perks, and Equipment you need.

Best Warzone 2 9mm Daemon loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: Forge DX30-S
  • Laser: FJX Diod-70
  • Trigger: DEX8 Trigger
  • Magazine: 20 Round Magazine
  • Rear Grip: Daemon Hand

To kick off the best 9mm Daemon loadout in Warzone 2, we’ve opted for the Forge DX30-S Muzzle to keep your shots hidden from the minimap and the DEX8 Trigger. The Trigger increases the weapon’s fire rate without hurting its mobility so is a great all-rounder.

The 20 Round Magazine is a solid choice as it’ll give you much more ammunition without slowing you down too much. To counter the weighty 20 Round Magazine, the FJX Diod-70 is a great choice for a Laser, as it improves your mobility with the Handgun.

While we’re opting for the Daemon Hand Rear Grip for now, the Akimbo attachment is currently bugged so once that has been fixed, the 9mm Daemon should be much more powerful when dual-wielded.

Best Warzone 2 9mm Daemon loadout Perks & Equipment

  • Base Perk 1: Double Time
  • Base Perk 2: Battle Hardened
  • Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
  • Ultimate Perk: Ghost
  • Lethal: Smoke Grenade
  • Tactical: Drill Charge

Since Warzone 2’s 9mm Daemon is a secondary weapon, you don’t need to equip Overkill and can instead opt for Double Time and Battle Hardened in the Base Perks.

Fast Hands allows you to switch between your primary weapon and the 9mm Daemon quicker and makes the game feel more responsive as a whole. Then, Ghost is a solid choice to remain hidden from UAVs.

For Equipment, Smoke Grenades will be a major help if you find yourself in the open, and the Drill Charge is the perfect counter to players inside buildings or behind cover.
