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 X16 is the starting pistol of Modern Warfare (2019), and Esports Tales called it decent but not great when it ranked it Tier B in April 2020. A single part changes a lot, though: the Lightweight Trigger takes about 92ms off its time to kill. Use this build as a straight sidearm, or take Charlie INTEL's Akimbo version for a close-range Warzone backup. The main build dates from 14 April 2020.
Best X16 loadout
Esports Tales lists this set (14 April 2020). Charlie INTEL's Warzone build confirms the Lightweight Trigger and 5mW Laser.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger Action | Lightweight Trigger | Fire rate from 309 to 405 RPM; TTK from 388ms to 296ms |
| Rear Grip | Stippled Grip Tape | Standard pick, less impactful given the fast ADS |
| Barrel | Singuard Arms Advantage | 20% more range, 1 frame slower ADS |
| Laser | 5mW Laser | Better close-range sprint-to-fire; 1mW only in competitive play |
| Perk | Sleight of Hand | Reload from 1.1s to 0.8s |
Why this build works
The trigger is almost a free TTK upgrade, and the rest of the build covers the pistol's smaller gaps. The barrel's single lost frame is covered by the grip tape, so the extra 20% range comes at no net ADS cost. The reload perk means you can finish a fight in a hurry and be ready for the next.
How to play it
Treat it as a quick backup in close quarters. Swap to it when your primary runs out, and stay close unless you have fitted the range barrel.
Alternative setups
Akimbo for Warzone (Charlie INTEL, 28 July 2021): Monolithic Suppressor, 5mW Laser, Lightweight Trigger, 26 Round Mag, Akimbo. Charlie INTEL lists the suppressor in the barrel row, but other guides treat it as a muzzle. It runs E.O.D., Ghost and Amped. Akimbo increases close-quarters damage output.
Unlock notes
Charlie INTEL says the X16 is available from the start. Dexerto says Akimbo comes from getting three kills in five separate matches with the X16 using Sleight of Hand.
