Secondary weapons serve as backups or specialized tools:
- Pistols: Lightweight, quick to draw, good for finishing off weakened enemies or when your primary runs dry. Examples: Atlas .45, RW1, MP443 Grach.
- Launchers: Anti-Scorestreak and anti-vehicle weapons. Examples: Stinger M7, MAAWS. Essential for taking down enemy aerial threats or destroying ground vehicles.
While pistols are often overlooked, a well-placed shot can save your life. Launchers are critical for team play, as they can clear the skies of enemy UAVs and attack helicopters, denying the enemy valuable intelligence and support. Always consider equipping a launcher if your team is struggling with enemy Scorestreaks.
