This calls for a loadout as unique as the gun itself. Pump-action guns take a long time between shots, which is usually problematic for a weapon in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but a loadout that emphasizes stealth and infiltration eliminates this weakness and turns it into a strength.

Attachments

This silencer hipfire weapon allows players to sacrifice aim down sight speed and recoil in exchange for lethality and range. There will be times when it is appropriate to aim down the scope, but those times are when an unsuspecting enemy is at range. For those moments, instantly aiming down the sights is not critical.

Recoil is unimportant on a pump-action weapon. Because of the delay between shots, there is more than enough time to refocus the weapon. This kind of gun is not suitable for straight-up fights, but that’s the drawback of this style of gun already, there is no amount of tweaking that will fix that.

Improve this even more by tuning the weapon to favor damage, range, and speed. Ditch recoil and aim down sights to make these qualities skyrocket even further.

Secondary Weapon

X12

Ideally, players who use this build will never have to engage in open combat, but that’s a fictional world. Fighting sometimes just happens. The X12 is ideal for this build because it does not restrict mobility in any way, like the Combat Knife.

The Combat Knife is great for stealth, but the Dryson 800 already has stealth covered. Launchers are too slow and should be used by combatants that fight outdoors. After performing a prestige, weapons will reset, so remember to re-equip this when it gets unlocked the next time around.

Tactical & Lethal Slots

The game has some excellent and diverse maps, so it is important to choose gadgets that can be used in most situations. The Heartbeat Sensor is a cinch for this build. Revealing enemy locations, especially unsuspecting enemies, can result in a cache of kills.

The Proximity Mine may seem strange for a stealth build, but there is a good reason for it. As players follow enemies, respawned opponents will then appear behind the player. In addition to getting a few kills every match, the explosion will let players know when respawned enemies are coming.

Perks

The best perks for this loadout lean into stealth. Tracker and Double Time keep the player quick and give them directions on where to go. When following opponents, note the direction of the footsteps and stay behind them. The endpoint will lead to an enemy with their back turned.

The thing about stealthed weapons is that they are incredible when players get the jump on someone and become terrible when a fair fight is involved. Keep in unfair by selecting both Cold-Blooded and Ghost, the two best perks for staying off of the radar in the game.

Field Upgrade

There are some top-notch field upgrades out there, don’t feel bad grabbing some of the most effective choices. These two are classics for any stealth build and for a good reason. DDOS ruins any hope of the enemy seeing the player on the radar.

Dead Silence takes care of the only other way to detect the Bryson 800 user by masking footsteps. Both pieces are on minuscule cooldown timers, so they can be used frequently. Kills even refresh Dead Silence, using it right before bursting in on unsuspecting enemies makes it last for a few encounters for longer killstreaks.

Killstreak Rewards

The UAV and Counter UAV are popular options for a good reason. They are in the lowest killstreak tiers and both can be activated without disrupting the player’s activities. Because this loadout is designed to go behind enemy lines, that’s critical. Plus, they’re supportive and reveal enemies while preventing the player’s team from being revealed as well.

Precision Airstrike is a good choice after this because it can be activated quickly. For matches where opponents decide to spread out or escape from the Bryson 800’s terror, a Precision Airstrike will hunt them down and take them out.

Get the graphics settings just right and this build is unstoppable.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
