Warzone Meta: The Ultimate Roadmap to the Best Pistols in Resurgence Overview

Key Takeaways

  • The top pistol in the meta ranking for Resurgence mode is the FTAC Siege, known for its incredible rate of fire and quick swap speed.
  • Coming in at second place is the 9mm Daemon, although not as strong as the FTAC Siege it remains a viable weapon and offers a different style of play.
  • The third-place goes to the powerful P890 pistol, best known for its fast time to kill in close range.

In the fast-paced battlefield of Call Of Duty: Warzone's Resurgence mode, weapon selection is critical. The fine line between victory and defeat can often be drawn by the type of pistol you brandish. This is further amplified during the nocturnal chaos of The Haunting mode, where your choice of guns plays a significant role amidst the shambling undead and night-veiled maps. In this guide, we'll walk you through the meta ranking of the best pistols to wield in these intense scenarios.

Warzone Meta Ranking for Pistols in Resurgence Overview

#1: FTAC Siege

Attachment Slot Attachment Name Vertical Tuning Horizontal Tuning
MUZZLE XRK Sandstorm 0.80 0.35
BARREL CMRN-50 0.50 0.40
LASER 1MW Pistol Laser 0.48 51.00
MAGAZINE 72 Round Drum
REARGRIP FTAC Siege Akimbo

The FTAC Siege, a compact machine pistol packing a jaw-dropping fire rate and swift swap speed, is the current meta champion. Despite its size, this weapon is tailor-made for up-close engagements, often surprising opponents with its incredible rate of fire and rapid swapping speed. However, due to its specialization in close-quarters combat (CQC), its effectiveness mid to long range is less than optimal. Still, for those who prefer frontline action, the FTAC Siege is a worthy companion.

#2: 9mm Daemon

BARREL SA Longfire 0.50 0.40
LASER 1MW Pistol Laser 0.48 51.00
MAGAZINE 26 Round Mag
REARGRIP Akimbo 9mm Daemon
TRIGGERACTION Rapid 30 Trigger 0.18 -0.10

Coming in at number two is the 9mm Daemon. Although, it may not have the overwhelming firing speed of the FTAC Siege, this pistol is still a force to be reckoned with. Its reliable consistent output damage and manageable recoil make it quite appealing for players who value control and precision in their shots. Paired with the right attachments, the 9mm Daemon could dominate the short to mid-range engagements. However, like the FTAC Siege, its power dwindles as the distance range extends.

#3: P890

BARREL Matuzek Venom 0.50 0.40
LASER 1MW Pistol Laser 0.48 51.00
MAGAZINE 12 Round Mag
REARGRIP Akimbo P890
TRIGGERACTION Bruen Express 0.18 -0.10

The P890 makes the third spot on our ranking list. With one of the fastest time to kill metrics in close range, its low hip-fire spread and manageable recoil make it a go-to pistol for many players. The P890, in its Akimbo form, lays down a barrage of bullets in an instant. However, its limiter is its ammo capacity; a keen eye for round conservation and timing is needed to fully utilize this pistol.

#4: X12

MAGAZINE 33 Round Mag
REARGRIP Akimbo X12
TRIGGERACTION XRK Lighting Fire 0.18 -0.10

The X12 pistol ranks at number four, presenting itself as an attractive option for close-quarters combat. In its Akimbo form, the X12 bears no recoil and boasts high magazine capacity. It’s an ideal pick for players who prefer rapid-fire and swift movements. Bear in mind, though, the X12 exchanges its impressive CQC performance with limited effectiveness over both mid and long-range encounters.

MAGAZINE 50 Round Drum
REARGRIP FTAC OL-Z Grip 1.00 0.45

Fifth on our list is the high-powered X13 Auto. Designed for close-range engagements, this automatic pistol can unload huge damage quickly at the cost of high recoil and hip-fire bullet spreads. It may present a learning curve for players used to more stable weaponry, but once its handling is mastered, the X13 Auto can serve as a formidable deterrent for encroaching opponents.

REARGRIP GS Magna Akimbo

The fully automatic GS Magma finds its place in the sixth rank. Packing powerful damage with each shot, this version of the .50 GS pistol is a dangerous adversary. It’s a weapon that requires experienced handling due to its high recoil, but after a few matches, you’ll become a threat that will make your enemies think twice before engaging.

#7: Basilisk

The seventh-place belongs to Basilisk, an extremely powerful revolver adorned with a fast time to kill with each bullet. Invoke fear by turning it into a mini shotgun with the Snakeshot rounds, allowing two shot downs. But with power comes responsibility, so plan your shots carefully with the 5-round limit.

Rounding out our list is the .50 GS, a powerful pistol with high damage and fast time to kill. However, this pistol sacrifices mobility and speed for its power, requiring steady hands and calculated shots for the high recoil.
