Everything fans need to know about the P890 in Modern Warfare 2

The P890 is one of the deadliest pistols in the game, capable of eliminating foes with just two bullets at close range. Due to the pistol's ability to take down enemies quickly, it has risen in popularity among fans. It isn't unusual to see players running around with the P890 in Modern Warfare 2.

Despite being a pistol, it is compared to the likes of SMGs as the gun possesses high damage statistics and a faster fire rate. Moreover, it is a popular choice since it is instantly available to all new players. If you are willing to give this fantastic pistol a chance, here's the best loadout suggestion for the weapon:

• Barrel: XRK Tacops Barrel
• Muzzle: Forge DX90-F
• Trigger Action: Bruen Express
• Magazine: 10 Round Mag
• Rear Grip: FJX DVF60 Grip

These attachments capitalize on the weapon's strengths, further improving the P890 in areas where it already excels. They also help mitigate the many downsides that come with the weapon, such as its low bullet count per magazine.

This is how all the aforementioned attachments impact the P890:

Barrel: XRK Tacops Barrel improves the movement speed of the character with the P890 equipped. This will be essential as you must get close to enemies and take aim while moving quickly and dodging enemy fire. It also reduces the aim-down sight speed, meaning you will be able to ADS quicker than the default.

Muzzle: Forge DX90-F is a suppressor that will keep you hidden as you make your way to enemies. Moreover, it increases bullet velocity and the ability to control recoil, making it easier to take down enemies at longer ranges. While this attachment increases ADS speed, the XRK Tacops barrel counters this with its effect on lowering the aim-down sight pace.

Trigger Action: Bruen Express allows you to shoot faster. If you are going against someone with the likes of a sub-machine gun or an assault rifle, you will need to be able to shoot fast and take them down before they eliminate you.

Magazine: 10 Round Mag ensures you don't run out of bullets in the middle of a gunfight. Nothing can be worse than running around with an empty magazine in the heat of the battle.

Rear Grip: FJX DVF60 Grip increases recoil control statistics, making connecting shots on your targets easier without giving away to the weapon's recoil.

If you wish to maximize the pistol's utility in your matches, it is suggested to use the following Perks:

• Base Perks: Double Time and Battle Hardened
• Bonus Perk: Resupply
• Ultimate Perk: High Alert
