Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The .50 GS is a Modern Warfare (2019) pistol that Esports Tales ranked Tier A in April 2020, describing it as very good without being overpowered. PCGamesN called out the same strength in January 2022: two shots per handgun down an enemy. Build it to aim rather than hip-fire, using the set below, dated 14 April 2020.
Best .50 GS loadout
Esports Tales lists this set (14 April 2020). PCGamesN confirms the Lightweight Trigger, and its Akimbo set is shown as an alternative.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Rear Grip | Stippled Grip Tape | Improves ADS, preferred because hip fire is weak |
| Ammunition | 10 Round Mags | Only 1% movement cost; author finds 7 too few and 13 too costly |
| Trigger Action | Lightweight Trigger | Fire rate from 189 to 213 RPM |
| Laser | Tac Laser | Visible but still preferred; 1mW Laser is the swap |
| Perk | Sleight of Hand | Reload from 1.2s to 0.7s |
Why this build works
Because hip fire is weak, the grip tape and laser both favour aiming down the sights. The middle magazine keeps the gun light, and the trigger helps the low base rate of fire. The half-second saved on reloads is a big gain for a gun that holds only 10 rounds. The Tac Laser's visible beam is a drawback the author accepts rather than likes.
How to play it
Take short to medium fights with your sights up, and do not spray. Landing shots is the challenge: PCGamesN warns that recoil makes consecutive hits hard. Leave Akimbo for times you plan to shoot from the hip anyway.
Alternative setups
Akimbo (PCGamesN, updated 17 January 2022): Rubberized Grip Tape, 5mW Laser, Lightweight Trigger, Akimbo, 13 Round Mags. It drops an enemy in two shots per gun, if you can land them through the recoil.
Unlock notes
Dexerto says Akimbo comes from getting three kills in five separate matches with the .50 GS using the FMJ perk.
