Best Minibak MW2 loadout: Attachments

• Muzzle: AVR-T90 Comp
• Laser: Corio LAZ-44 v3
• Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
• Stock: Otrezat Stock
• Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip

The AVR-T90 Comp is the most important attachment on the Minibak as this muzzle improves the SMG’s otherwise challenging horizontal recoil. As this attachment alone makes the recoil easy to control the remaining slots can be used to improve handling.

To optimize weapon handling use both the True-Tac Grip and Otrezat Stock to enhance the Minibak’s ADS speed and overall mobility. This will turn ensure that the Minibak maintains its strengths as an SMG and dominates close quarter gunfights.

Although the Minibak’s iron sights are decent there’s no harm in improving visibility whilst firing. It’s ideal to use a clear close range optic such as the Cronen Mini Pro to make tracking enemy movement easier.

If you want to make the Minibak handle even faster the Corio LAZ-44 v3 is an excellent laser to use. However, this can’t be used in Ranked Play so for competitive it’s best to run just four attachments.

Best Minibak MW2 loadout: Perks & Equipment

• Base Perk 1: Battle Hardened
• Base Perk 2: Tracker
• Bonus Perk: Cold-Blooded
• Ultimate Perk: Ghost
• Lethal: Frag Grenade
• Tactical: Stim

Kick off your perk choices with Battle Hardened, a Base Perk that reduces the intensity and duration of tactical equipment. It’s especially useful against Flash Grenades which are incredibly strong in Modern Warfare 2.

Next up is Tracker, a brilliant perk for SMG users who want to hunt down their foes by tracking their footprints. It’s useful for those who prefer an aggressive playstyle as you can locate enemies quicker.

When it comes to your Bonus Perk, Cold Blooded is an excellent choice to avoid being killed by enemy killstreaks. There’s nothing worse than having a good run ended by a VTOL Jet or Chopper Gunner.

For your Ultimate Perk, Ghost is guaranteed to be useful as it keeps you concealed from the opposing team when looking to flank. It’s a must for players trying to get behind the other team without being noticed.

The best Lethal Equipment is the Frag Grenade as it can be cooked to detonate just as it lands next to an opponent preventing them from dodging. As for tactical equipment, a Stim is fantastic for healing up and taking consecutive gunfights in quick succession.
