Call of Duty Mobile's latest secondary weapon is a semi-automatic pistol, which players can turn into a fully-automatic gun with a specific barrel attachment. The Makarov also has a specific perk attachment allowing players to wield it in both hands.

Below are the stats of the Makarov pistol in Call of Duty Mobile without any attachments:

• Damage: 30
• Accuracy: 93
• Range: 40
• Fire Rate: 42
• Mobility: 115
• Control: 81

The weapon is already astonishingly stable and accurate while offering impressive mobility. Players can try out the "Akimbo" perk (for dual wield) alongside four other attachments to enhance their tactical prowess.

Here are the attachments that players can consider using for the Makarov pistol:

• Perk - "Akimbo" - Allows players to carry two Makarov pistols in both hands. However, it significantly reduces damage, range, mobility, and reload time.
• Ammunition - "20 Round Mags" - This enhances the magazine capacity, increases the ADS time, and decreases movement speed.
• Laser - "OWC Laser - Tactical" - Decreases the ADS time and bullet spread, but the only downside is visible laser sights.
• Trigger Action - "Heavyweight Double-Action" - Will increase the body damage multiplier (from 1.1 to 1.2) while decreasing ADS time and Fire-to-Sprint delay. However, players will see an increase in fire intervals.
• Rear Grip - "VLK Prizak" - Decreases ADS time and Fire-to-Sprint delay but is not helpful for stability and accuracy, as there will be an increase in hit flinch and ADS bullet spread alongside vertical and horizontal recoils.

The Akimbo perk reduces the gun's stability and disallows players to equip a Stock attachment. Thus, players can consider using the "PP-Skelet" stock attachment for better stability and accuracy, positively impacting the random trajectory (20m).
