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 Tac-45 is the hard-hitting pistol of Black Ops II multiplayer. Techplayguide calls it the highest-damage pistol with a two-shot kill at close range. Games.gg ranks it B-Tier and wzstats D-Tier, fourteenth for close range. Our verdict: it is a fine sidearm if you favour big hits, though the rankings prefer the B23R and KAP-40.
Best Tac-45 loadout
Only wzstats publishes this class (last updated 22 July 2026). Bo2loadouts confirms both attachments fit, but GameRevolution's 2012 pistol table does not list Fast Mag, so check that one in game.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Laser | Laser Sight | Reduces hipfire spread |
| Magazine | Fast Mag | Faster mag swaps and reloads |
| Perk 1 | Ghost | Invisible to UAVs while moving |
| Perk 2 | Scavenger, Fast Hands | Replenish ammo from fallen enemies; swap weapons and use equipment faster |
| Perk 3 | Dead Silence | Move silently |
| Wildcard | Perk 2 Greed, Secondary Gunfighter | Second Perk 2; second secondary attachment |
Wzstats lists no primary, lethal or tactical with this class.
Why this build works
Laser Sight's hipfire benefit and Fast Hands' quicker swap both serve the moment GameRevolution describes for pistols: you are surprised, or your primary is out of ammo, and you need something usable right away. Ghost and Dead Silence are the stealth half of the class.
How to play it
Use it as a close-range finisher. Techplayguide's two-shot figure is a close-range one, and bo2loadouts describes it as a sidearm for quick finishes. GameRevolution puts pistols at close to medium range overall.
Alternative setups
Balanced (bo2loadouts, undated): Fast Mag; Lightweight, Fast Hands, Dexterity.
Stealth (bo2loadouts, undated): Suppressor; Ghost, Fast Hands, Dexterity.
Unlock notes
The Tac-45 is available from player level 4, per GameTipCenter (November 2012). GameRevolution lists Laser Sight at pistol weapon level 4, and wzstats' data has Fast Mag at 7.
