Having the best BAS-P loadout in MW2 will surely go a long way in keeping you alive in even the most heated matches. Season 5 is underway and like every other new season, it comes with new weapons to unlock. Despite the new additions, the BAS-P remains a reliable weapon in Modern Warfare 2.
So sit back and relax as we provide you with the best loadout, attachment and perks to help you get the most out of the BAS-P. If you’re not already using a Tactical Pet in the new season, see our guide on how to get the dog in Modern Warfare 2. We all need a companion at some point!
Best BAS-P loadout and attachment in MW2
- Muzzle: XRK Sandstorm
- Laser: 1Mw Quick Fire Laser
- Stock: Bruen Flash V4 Stock
- Underbarrel: Xten Nexus Grip
- Rear Grip: Bruen Flash Grip
The BAS-P has transformed into a mix of SMG and AR, delivering a strong TTK up to roughly 50 meters. To optimise this, our loadout aims to enhance long-range precision without excessively affecting handling and mobility.
To extend the range, you should minimise recoil. You can do this by equipping both the XRK Sandstorm muzzle and Xten Nexus Grip underbarrel. These significantly decrease recoil and enhance aiming stability, making it simpler to maintain accurate shots on target.
Although these attachments enhance accuracy, they will also slightly decrease your ADS speed. To maintain the SMG feel of the BAS-P, we suggest attaching the 1MW Quick Fire Laser. And if you’re comfortable with a visible laser, you might want to opt for the Accu-Shot 5Mw Laser instead.
Lastly, you should enhance mobility by equipping the Bruen Flash V4 Stock and Bruen Flash Grip. These will decrease sprint-to-fire speed and elevate ADS strafe speed, ensuring that the BAS-P remains suitable for a run-and-gun play style.
Best Perks and equipment for BAS-P in MW2
- Base Perk 1: Double Time
- Base Perk 2: Battle Hardened
- Bonus Perk: Cold-Blooded
- Ultimate Perk: Ghost
- Lethal: Frag Grenade
- Tactical: Stim
We choose these perks to excel in various scenarios. For active and aggressive movement, Double Time is ideal, while Battle Hardened makes defensive play more manageable by reducing the impact of incoming tactical gear.
As for the Bonus Perk, Cold-Blooded is a superb option to remain concealed from formidable killstreaks. Popular streaks such as the VTOL Jet and Overwatch Helo won’t be able to target you while utilising this Perk.
Most times, Ghost is the top choice for an Ultimate Perk. This is because it prevents you from being detected with UAVs. Given the prevalence of UAVs in MW2, this greatly assists in staying under the radar.
The ideal pick for lethal equipment can be debated, but a classic Frag Grenade is consistently a solid option. It boasts a wide explosion area and can be timed to catch enemy players off guard. As for Tactical equipment, a Stim is effective in restoring health, enabling a more aggressive gameplay approach.
Best weapons to pair with the BAS-P in MW2
.50 GS Handgun
You rarely need to bring along another rapid-fire weapon with putting the BAS-P in your loadout, so the devastating single shots of the .50 GS make a good mid-range complement to the SMG.
SP-X 80 Sniper Rifle
Significantly expand your stealthy toolkit with the SP-X 80, allowing you to switch between picking opponents off quietly at extremely long ranges and sneaking up to take them out before they know what hit them.
