The GS Magna is a new handgun added to Call of Duty: Warzone 2 with the Season 3 Reloaded update. It is a fully automatic pistol that shoots 0.50 Cal bullets, which can be devastating. To put it simply, it is an automatic variant of the 0.50 GS. If that lethality wasn't enough for the Magna, it also allows players to go akimbo with it, which can take down fully shielded enemies within seconds.
However, not all is perfect with the handgun. An automatic 0.50 Cal shooting pistol needs some form of balancing so as not to make it overpowered. Developers managed to do so by increasing the recoil. As a result, it is difficult to control the recoil of the weapon, and that is holding it back from being one of the most lethal guns in the arsenal.
Fortunately, the Gunsmith 2.0 system allows players to customize the gun as they like, and using the correct attachments, one can mitigate a lot of the weapon's weaknesses. Having said that, this guide will take a closer look at some of the best attachments for the GS Magna in Warzone 2.
