Secondary Weapons

Master Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's secondary weapons! Get the lowdown on Pistols like the Atlas45, RW1, and MP443 Grach, plus Launchers and Specials.

Alright, let's talk about your backup options in Advanced Warfare. You know, the guns you pull out when your main rifle runs dry or when you need something specific for the job. We've got a few categories here: Pistols, Launchers, and some other unique Specials.

Pistols

Pistols are your bread and butter secondaries. They can be lifesavers in a pinch.

Atlas45

This is your standard-issue automatic pistol. It's pretty balanced across the board, with decent handling and mobility, making it quick to bring out and aim.

Fire Mode: Fully automatic

In-game Notes: Best in class handling.

Personal note: It's your typical handgun, reliable but not flashy.

RW1

Now, this is where things get interesting. The RW1 is a break-action railgun, and it hits HARD. It's slow to fire, only one shot at a time, but that damage is immense. Think of it like a mini-sniper in your pocket.

Fire Mode: Break-action handheld railgun.

In-game Notes: Best in class damage.

Personal note: This is a personal favorite. It's almost always a one-shot kill, and you can even slap an attachment on it to turn it into a proper sniper rifle. Definitely worth checking out.

MP443 Grach

This pistol fires in a two-round burst, which can be super effective if you land both shots. It's got great range for a pistol, too.

Fire Mode: Two round burst

In-game Notes: Best in class range.

Personal note: Another solid choice. That double-tap can really melt enemies, especially at longer pistol ranges. Recommended.

Launchers

Launchers are your heavy hitters, usually for taking down vehicles or groups of enemies.

Stinger M7

This one's your go-to for locking onto vehicles or players. If something's moving and you need to hit it from a distance, this is your guy.

MAAWS

The MAAWS uses laser guidance. You paint your target with a laser, and the missile follows it. Great for precision strikes.

Specials

These are the unique weapons that don't fit neatly into other categories.

Crossbow

The Crossbow is a bit of a wildcard. It's silent and can be deadly if you land your shots, but it's definitely a different playstyle than your typical firearm.
