This guide details the best P890 Akimbo loadout in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II‘s multiplayer is finally available to play. Most fans have already played Modern Warfare 2‘s Campaign via early access. But now players are keen to get stuck into the multiplayer.
Modern Warfare 2 has revamped the Call of Duty multiplayer formula in a number of ways. And some of the changes have divided the fanbase. Be it the changes to the mini-map or perk system, there’s definitely a sense that not everything is perfect in the new game.
However, one area that fans are almost universally happy with is the guns. They look and sound great, and the new levelling up/unlock system is a welcome innovation.
Thankfully, Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer provides players with a decent selection of guns and weapons to play around with. And, as always, some are better than others.
Modern Warfare 2 offers players a good choice of pistols to pick from, too. From the get-go, the P890 has established itself as one of the best sidearms in the game. But with focus shifting to Warzone 2.0, players are looking to get the most out of their pistols.
The original Warzone featured a few meta pistol builds over the years. From the akimbo snake-shot Magnums to the akimbo Renettis – there was no shortage of OP handgun options. However, the dual-wield functionality was always the common denominator.
The akimbo X13 Auto is Warzone 2.0‘s answer to the Renettis thanks to it’s fully-automatic capabilities. And now a meta P890 akimbo loadout has emerged as the best semi-automatic option.
So, let’s take a look at the best P890 akimbo loadout in MW2 and Warzone 2.0…
How To Unlock P890 Akimbo
Unlike most weapons in Modern Warfare 2, the P890 is available right from the start. As a result, it’s likely to be one of the few guns every player will have levelled to some degree.
Unsurprisingly, the Akimbo attachment is one of the last attachments you unlock for the P890. So, you’ll need to use this handgun a fair bit to get the option to dual-wield.
This is how to unlock the P890 akimbo in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0: To unlock the akimbo attachment, players must rank the P890 up to level 26.

So, now you know how to unlock the akimbo attachment for the P890, let’s take a look at the best loadout.
As with most akimbo builds, this loadout focusses on buffing damage range, fire rate, and hip-fire accuracy. As a result, the build compensates for the lack of ADS accuracy and is lethal in close-to-medium range engagements.
This is the best P890 Akimbo loadout in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0:
Muzzle – FT Steel Fire
Trigger Action – Bruen Express
Laser – 1MW Pistol Laser
Rear Grip – Akimbo P890
Magazine – 12 Round Mag
As with all handguns, there’s no option for tuning. So, you don’t need to worry about tweaking each individual attachment.
This build is centred around the benefits of the Akimbo attachment. The 1MW Pistol Laser (while visible to enemies) offers a significant accuracy advantage. Meanwhile, the FT Steel Fire suppressor buffs damage range and the Bruen Express trigger enables an increased rate of fire.
Running this P890 loadout alongside a great long-range assault rifle like the Kastov 762 or TAQ-56 is a great way to ensure you have all bases covered.
