  • Lachmann Sub SMG
  • FSS Hurricane SMG
  • SP-R 208 Marksman
  • Tempus Torrent Marksman

The above list includes the best S-tier weapons in Modern Warfare 2. These weapons perform their role to perfection, filling niches that other tools cannot and working at a consistently high level.

  • ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle
  • Chimera Assault Rifle
  • FENNEC 45 SMG
  • Minibak SMG
  • Vaznev-9K SMG

The weapons in A-Tier are not perfect but are able to grant you a distinct advantage when wielded. These are highly reliable tools of destruction, and usually some of the best of their individual weapon categories.

  • Kastov-74U Assault Rifle
  • Expedite 12 Shotgun
  • VEL 46 SMG
  • SAKIN MG38 LMG

These weapons do not entirely hold up against the best of the MW2’s options, but in the right hands, they can still be used to devastating effect.

Best C-Tier weapons in Season 6

  • FTAC Recon Battle Rifle
  • Bas-P SMG
  • X13 Auto Handgun
  • X12 Handgun

These weapons are either underpowered or unreliable, able to support other tools but lacking as a primary option.
