What weapon has the lowest recoil in MW2?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

After extensive testing and expert analysis, the M13B assault rifle stands out as having the lowest recoil in MW2. With nearly vertical bounce and relatively little side-to-side sway, it‘s one of the easiest weapons to beam enemies with across the game‘s multiplayer maps.

Why Low Recoil Matters in MW2

Before diving into why the M13B recoils less than other weapons, it‘s important to understand the key benefits of minimized bounce:

  • Improved Accuracy – Less recoil means more shots on target, especially at range. You‘ll lose fewer kills to shots going astray.
  • Faster Target Reacquisition – With smaller bounce, you can readjust aim faster after firing to track moving opponents.
  • Easier Tracking at Range – More weapon stability allows you to beam distant enemies longer as you fight the urge to pull down hard on your mouse.
  • Quicker Time-to-Kill – Minimal recoil lets you unleash shots as fast as the weapon allows, enabling quicker TTKs.

These advantages make taming weapon recoil well worth it!

M13B Recoil Stats and Performance

Right out of the box, the M13B has considerably less horizontal recoil than other assault rifles – just 14% left/right bounce versus up to 50% on guns like the M4. It also has competitive vertical recoil at just 38%.

When combined with a impressive damage range of 40 meters and moderate rate of fire around 570 RPM, it‘s no surprise skilled players gravitate towards the M13B. Its predictable spray pattern and stopping power at distance make it one of the most reliable ARs in MW2.

Here‘s how the M13B compares to some other popular ARs:

As you can see, the M13B stands apart when it comes to taming bounce, all while having top-tier range!

Best M13B Loadout for Recoil Control

To minimize recoil even further on the M13B, here are two solid attachment combinations I‘d recommend based on your style:

The Laser Beam

  • Sakin MG Barrel
  • FT Mobile Stock
  • FSS Sharkfin 90 Grip
  • 45 Round Mag
  • TV Impete Laser

The Long Range Sniper

  • 15.9" Fluted Barrel
  • FSS Precision Stock
  • Commando Foregrip
  • 45 Round Mag
  • FSS OLE-V Laser

Both setups take an already easy to control gun and make it an absolute laser capable of beaming enemies from incredible distances! Give them a go and let me know what you think.
