Best gear of 1911 in Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone Pacific

Compared to most of the weapons players customize in Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone, guns are arguably the hardest to understand. This is largely due to fans typically looking for attachments more for the show than for actual improvement (ex: the Akimbo perk). That said, the underrated 1911 pistol is actually capable of arming players with the same power as an assault rifle or SMG, but a specific set of accessories must be applied first.

Best gear of 1911 in Call of Duty: Vanguard

In Vanguard, the 1911 has morphed into one of the best secondaries anyone should add to their class. Of course, its small magazine size prevents players from using it as a primary; however, it is quite useful when your main weapon runs out of ammo. The best 1911 class will primarily use additional rate of fire and long duration damage to make it a respectable match against most other guns.

• Muzzle: Mercury silencer
• Activation of the action: Quick action
• Barrel: Gracey Short No.2
• Magazine: .30 Russian Courts 8 Round Magazines
• Type of ammunition: incendiary
• optics: Nobody
• Rear handle: Fabric handle
• Expertise: Vital
• kit: Flow rate
• Class benefits: Ninja, High Alert e Lightweight

Realistically, it is much harder to get a headshot with a gun than with anything else. As a result, this loadout uses the .30 Russian Short 8 Round Mags and Gracey Short No.2 to increase overall damage and damage placed on enemy limbs. Especially with the associated incendiary ammo type and Vital Perk, you can now expect the pistol to gain kills within up to three consecutive body shots.

To match the fire rates of SMG and AR users, it is recommended to equip the quick action to perform these body shots in seconds. Other trigger actions provide a tantalizing amount of accuracy and recoil control, but the 1911 is already the most accurate pistol to begin with. However, you want to increase its aim a little over aiming time, and this can be done perfectly with nothing more than the cloth grip. This accessory, along with the Quick kit, should give you enough overall speed to run through enemies when you're in dire need of a kill.

It must be said that your class perks should revolve entirely around your main weapon and style of play. But, if you just focus on leveling up 1911, perks like Ninja, High Alert, and light weight will be more beneficial. Ninja and Lightweight will team up to give you incredibly fast yet quiet steps when chasing opponents, as High Alert highlights any threats outside your line of sight.

In Warzone, 1911 should have an entirely different purpose than multiplayer. Here, you'll only use the gun when you choose to have the Ghost perk rather than the widely popular Overkill perk. In turn, you will be able to have your location unknown to enemies, while also having a secondary weapon that can help finish off the last member of an enemy team.

• Muzzle: Conflict compensator
• Activation of the action: Hair trigger
• Barrel: Cooper Full-Auto
• Magazine: .45 ACP 18 Round Mags
• Type of ammunition: Hollow point
• optics: Nydar Model 47
• Rear handle: Leather handle
• Advantage of the weapon 1: Vital
• Advantage of the weapon 2: Soon

Those who use the pistol in battle royale should see the most success when applying Cooper Full-Auto and .45 ACP 18 Round Mags. The two attachments will essentially turn the 1911 into an SMG, but with a sharp decrease in magazine capacity. To compensate for this, the Hollow Point ammo type, Vital Weapon Perk, and Hair Trigger should help provide enough bonus damage on chest hits to ensure you earn a single-magazine elimination.

Considering that it is now a fully automatic weapon, we recommend that all players use at least 1,35x magnification optics for more accurate aiming. Being quite small, the Nydar Model 1,35's 47x zoom is an excellent choice for those who still want fast aiming over time.
