The MX9 is a less popular weapon due to its inferior position in the meta, but this Submachine Gun can be an excellent choice for those looking for a low-recoil firearm in Modern Warfare 2. This Submachine Gun offers decent overall stats but does not min-max any specific area, making it an ideal weapon for the beginner or casual combatant.

The main drawback will be its low range, meaning that MX9 s are confined to close-quarter combat. This disadvantage can be balanced by equipping another primary weapon via the Overkill Perk, but this Submachine Gun can generally stand on its own with an appropriate loadout.

Best Class Setup for the MX9 in MW2

Viewing the Pink Camo MX9 in the Gunsmith in MW2

When wielding the MX9 in MW2, players should be aggressively hunting down enemy targets, making Tracker a great first Perk for the SMG's loadout. Scavenger will ensure s do not run out of ammo, and Fast Hands will enable combatants to switch quickly with their X13 Auto sidearm when caught in a tight situation. Ghost and Dead Silence make an excellent pair for staying covert when pushing into the enemies' position. Finally, for Equipment, fans are advised to use Stim and Proximity Mine. Stim grants sustain, while Proximity Mines can be used for ambushing.

An optimal attachment setup for the MX9's loadout in MW2 should drastically enhance the SMG's handling since players will spend most of their time facing enemy targets in close quarters. Being equipped with the agility to easily clear rooms is essential for MX9, making handling one of the most important stats to improve.
