November 24, 2022: Is the PILA worth using in Modern Warfare 2? Scroll down for the best loadout available in Season One.

Secondary weapons in Call of Duty are sometimes just as important as the primary weapon players choose as part of a loadout. Depending on the style of play, some players prefer to use a pistol but there are some that enjoy utilising the best Modern Warfare 2 PILA loadout to their advantage.

As the launch of Modern Warfare 2 nears, leaks on various elements of multiplayer keep appearing much to the excitement of fans waiting on Infinity Ward's next dose of information.

In addition to leaks on Killstreaks and Modern Warfare 2 maps, another leak reveals plenty of new additions to the arsenal alongside some familiar weapons from previous Modern Warfare games. With that said, is the PILA in Modern Warfare 2? Here's what we know.

What is the best Modern Warfare 2 PILA loadout?

With the PILA needing no attachments, the best loadout is determined by which secondary weapon you decide to use with it. Although the launcher packs a deadly punch thanks to its immense damage output, it's a one-trick pony compared to other weapons in the arsenal.

Alongside the PILA, we recommend using the Lachmann Sub SMG for some extra close-range damage and much-needed mobility. Check out the best Modern Warfare 2 Lachmann Sub loadout to use in our guide.

How to unlock PILA

The likelihood of the PILA featuring in a weapon family is slim, meaning the likely unlock method requires reaching a specific level. Simply play the game to reach the required level to unlock the launcher. We recommend using a double XP to reach the target as fast as possible.

PILA Call of Duty history

The PILA made its Call of Duty debut in 2019's Modern Warfare and made its way into Warzone in March 2020. They're the only two games it's featured in so far.

With 2022's Modern Warfare 2 acting as a sequel to 2019's Modern Warfare, it's not surprising to see the launcher return for a second time.

Is the PILA good in Modern Warfare 2?

Judging by its performance in the previous Call of Duty titles, the PILA will be one of the stronger launchers to use in multiplayer. Armed with free-firing and lock-on abilities, it's one of the more versatile secondary weapons on offer and when used in the right situations, it can cause huge amounts of damage.

Some launchers are hit-and-miss in terms of performance but if you're looking for one that's a great all-rounder, we highly recommend using the PILA as part of a loadout.

That's everything we know about the PILA launcher set to arrive in Modern Warfare 2. Once multiplayer begins, don't forget to check back to find out how to unlock this hugely underrated launcher.
