This guide details the best PDSW 528 loadout in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0.

It’s hard to believe Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II‘s multiplayer has been here for two months already, especially after all the hype and anticipation.

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 great selection of SMGs to choose from. One that’s flown under the radar for a while in MW2 is the PDSW 528, formerly called the P90.

As CoD fans will know, the P90 was a popular choice in both multiplayer and Warzone. And as the months go by since the release of Modern Warfare 2, players are starting to branch out and check out all the weapons the game has on offer.

This includes the PDSW 528, which could no doubt prove to be a solid choice in multiplayer and Warzone 2.0 thanks to its rapid-fire and high capacity magazine.

So, let’s take a look at the best PDSW 528 loadout in MW2 and Warzone 2.0

How To Unlock PDSW 528

The PDSW 528 isn’t available from the outset. You need to unlock it before you can use it.

Thankfully, the PDSW 528 is one of the quickest and easiest guns to unlock in Modern Warfare 2.

To unlock the PDSW 528 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, simply reach Rank 5. This should take only a few rounds of multiplayer at most, so you won’t have to wait for long to unlock it.

So, now you know how to unlock the PDSW 528, you can start to think about what attachments to use with it.

This build is all about maximising the PDSW 528’s best attributes. Primarily, that means boosting its damage range, minimising recoil, and increasing ADS speed.

This should ensure the gun is effective at both close and medium range engagements.

Barrel – 18.75″ Cloak 90

Laser – VLK LZR 7MW

Optic – Cronen Mini Pro

Stock – Guard Duty Stock

Rear Grip – Bruen Q900 Grip

If you’re planning to use this build in Warzone 2.0, we suggest using it as a secondary weapon alongside one of the current meta weapons. The three current metas are the TAQ-56, Kastov 762, and RPK.
