Are you looking for the best 9mm Daemon loadout for Warzone 2.0? Then rest assured, as we’ll show you the perfect loadout with the optimal setup for dominating the terrain of Al Mazrah.

Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 has been a massive success worldwide. The direct sequel to Warzone Caldera, Warzone 2.0 features guns, equipment, and game mechanics from MW2. There are 73 weapons in MW2, which are also present in its BR counterpart.

Among the 73 weapons, 8 of them are Handguns. Warzone 2.0’s largest map in CoD history makes it a perfect playing ground for Sniper Rifles and Assault Rifles. However, for close-range engagements, SMGs and Hangunds reign supreme. The new 9mm Daemon is an excellent choice in the Handgun class for its versatility and efficiency in close-range gunfights.

The 9mm Daemon is a modern, tactical pistol chambered in 9mm that is deadly from the hip and features a best-in-class semi-automatic fire rate. It is the counterpart of the iconic M1911 handgun from other CoD titles.

How to unlock the 9mm Daemon in Warzone 2.0

The 9mm Daemon can be unlocked by completing the following challenge in Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2.0:

  • Get 15 Operator Headshot Kills with Pistols.

However, that doesn’t ensure everything connected to the weapon will also be unlocked. To unlock some of the better attachments for the gun, players will have to level up their rank with the 9mm Daemon as players would with any other weapon in Call of Duty games.

To rank up the 9mm Daemon, keep playing Warzone 2.0 when the gun is equipped. While the 9mm Daemon will always gain a constant flow of XP while equipped, players can speed up the process by slaying enemies, taking down killstreaks, and completing contracts. And they will gain even more weapon XP for the 9mm Daemon if they activate a weapon-oriented XP token before a Warzone 2.0 match begins.

Best Equipment & Perks for 9mm Daemon Loadout

Equipment

  • Tactical: Stim
  • Lethal: Semtex

Stim is a widely used tactical capable of providing instant heals, which can be life-saving in clutch situations. On the other hand, semtex is an excellent lethal that can serve as a breaching impact and flush out other players from cover.

Perk Package – Weapon Specialist

  • Base Perk -1: Overkill
  • Base Perk -2: Strong Arm
  • Bonus Perk: Spotter
  • Ultimate Perk: Survivor

The weapon specialist package is excellent for calm and calculated players. The base perks are Overkill and Strong Arm. Strong Arm grants players a stronger projectile-throwing power with a preview of the trajectory, while Overkill allows them to carry two primary weapons.

Furthermore, for the bonus perk, players can use Spotter, which spots enemy equipment, field upgrades, and killstreaks through walls. Lastly, the ultimate perk is Survivor, which acts as a self-revive but in the form of a perk.
