Best weapons to pair with the Chimera in MW2

Lockwood MK2 

This Single-shot Marksman Rifle compliments the Chimera’s aggressive AR style perfectly, allowing you to line up headshots and pick off distant foes with the Lockwood rather than committing to moving to their position to take them out. 

Basilisk Handgun

Without the aid of the Overkill perk, the Basilisk is a formidable sidearm choice that can be swapped in for the Chimera in a pinch. The Basilisk can finish off foes already damaged with the Chimera but can deal enough damage on its own merits as a full replacement if ammo is scarce.
