Unlocked fairly early in Modern Warfare 2’s progression system, the X13 Auto is a reliable subweapon that will serve you well as a backup in almost any encounter. Its incredible auto fire may catch you off guard if you’re expecting toned-down performance from the pistol, and its damage output can quickly prove lethal.

The X13 Auto is going to be one of your most regularly used tools in Modern Warfare 2. Its status as a subweapon means that it will fit in any loadout that isn’t built around the Overkill perk. So if you don’t want to waste a perk slot on Overkill to carry around a second main weapon, the X13 Auto is a sturdy, reliable choice. This pistol’s rapid rate of fire eclipses the basic X12, allowing it to function as a more than acceptable substitute in scenarios where your main weapon is lacking.

With an incredibly rapid rate of fire, especially for a pistol, the X13 Auto often feels less like a companion to your main weapon and more of a high-performing tool in its own right. Taking full advantage of Modern Warfare 2’s speedy TTK means that the X13 can stand by itself as a worthy weapon to take into any match.

Extra Tactical

Tactical Equipment is an important part of any loadout, and it becomes even more crucial for the X13 Auto. Having more options will help to outplay opponents relying on specialized main weapons, and having more uses of your gear will help even the odds.

Battle Hardened

This perk can be invaluable in Modern Warfare 2, helping to lessen the impact when explosives and other tactical gear are used against you. This can help when moving from point to point, but it also reduces your chances of being wiped out when the enemy is advancing on your position.

Keeping your opponents dazed and blinded will throw off an impending assault, and give you the chance you need to turn the tables.

Tear Gas

Tear Gas will hamper and slow your opponents, placing them in an incredibly vulnerable state, making them easy targets for the X13 Auto.

Modern Warfare 2 – Best Weapons To Pair With The X13 Auto

Lachmann Sub

A rapid-fire, highly accurate tool that performs well at most ranges. While the Lachmann Sub has recently received a nerf to its initially overwhelming performance, this is still a great all-round weapon that will serve you well in most Modern Warfare 2 Matches

M4 Assault Rifle

One of Modern Warfare 2’s best weapons, and a strong contender for its most powerful assault rifle. The M4 can do just about everything well and will form part of a truly deadly loadout when combined with the X13 Auto.

X13 Auto Tips and Tricks

The X13’s similar design to the X12 can catch players off guard that aren’t prepared for its rapid rate of fire. The X13 is often capable of winning close-range engagements through surprise alone.
If you’re struggling to pick a subweapon in Modern Warfare 2, the X13 is the most reliable default choice. It outstrips the X12 in most areas, and is a more consistent option than the JOKR, Pila, and RPG-7 given their limited ammo capacity.
