Secondary weapons serve as reliable backups when your primary runs dry or for specific close-quarters situations. While often overlooked, a well-chosen secondary can save your life.

Pistols

  • 1911: A classic, reliable pistol with good damage.
  • Magnum: High damage, low fire rate revolver. Excellent for quick, precise shots.
  • Diamatti: Burst-fire pistol, very powerful in close range.

Launchers

  • Cigma 2: Lock-on launcher, effective against air and ground vehicles.
  • RPG-7: Free-fire rocket launcher, good for area denial and destroying equipment.

Melee

  • Combat Knife: Instant kill in close quarters, offers increased mobility.

Pistols are generally used for quick swaps in emergencies. Launchers are essential for dealing with enemy scorestreaks and vehicles, especially in objective-based game modes. The Combat Knife is a niche choice for aggressive, stealthy players who prioritize speed. Consider your primary weapon's weaknesses when choosing a secondary; for example, if you're running a sniper, a fast-firing pistol or shotgun can cover your close-range vulnerabilities.
