Learn strategies for the German and Russian Luger pistols in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Use them when out of ammo or for close-range headshots.

The German and Russian Luger pistols are functionally identical in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, differing only in their appearance and sound. You should utilize these pistols when you have run out of ammunition for your primary weapon, especially when using a sniper rifle. If an enemy closes the distance, attempting to snipe them becomes very difficult. In such situations, switch to your pistol and aim for the head (a headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill)). Each pistol holds approximately 7 shots before requiring a reload. Landing about 2 or 3 headshots will be sufficient to eliminate an enemy. Pistols can also be effective for finishing off opponents who are easy targets, such as unskilled players, to conserve your more valuable ammunition. They can even be employed for suppressing fire in certain scenarios.

Tips
  • Switch to your pistol when your primary weapon is out of ammo, particularly when using a sniper rifle.
  • For close-quarters combat, aim for headshots with the pistol.
  • It takes approximately 2-3 headshots to kill an enemy with the Luger pistol.
  • Conserve primary ammunition by using pistols against less skilled opponents.
  • Pistols can be used for suppressing fire.
