Best Vaznev-9k Modern Warfare 2 loadout

• Muzzle: Bruen Pendulum
• Laser: Schlager Peq Box IV
• Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot
• Stock: Otrezat Stock
• Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip

We start our best Vaznev-9k loadout with the Bruen Pendulum which offers a substantial boost to both horizontal and vertical recoil control, helping you keep your shots on target. Then we’ve gone for the Schlager Peq Box IV Laser, buffing ADS speed to ensure you always get the first shot in.

Mobility is vital when using an SMG in MW2, so the Otrezat Stock is a great option to increase sprint speed and how fast you move while aiming. This pairs nicely with the True-Tac Grip, which reduces the ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.

Last up is the Cronen Mini Red Dot, a clean Optic that makes the Vaznev-9k far more accurate without cluttering up the screen.

Best Vaznev-9k Modern Warfare 2 class: Perks & equipment

• Base Perk 1: Scavenger
• Base Perk 2: Bomb Squad
• Bonus Perk: Hardline
• Ultimate Perk: High Alert
• Lethal: Semtex
• Tactical: Stim

Since you’ll be running around the map with the Vaznev-9k, Scavenger is an ideal Perk as it allows you to restock ammo on the fly. Then we recommend Bomb Squad to soak up damage from any explosives that come your way.

For the Bonus Perk you can’t go wrong with Hardline, reducing the cost of Killstreaks which can be vital towards the end of a match. You’ll also want to remain hidden while moving around the map, so Ghost will keep you off the enemy UAV.

When it comes to equipment, Semtex is straightforward Lethal that’s perfect for clearing an objective quickly, while Stims can offer a health boost when times are tough.
