Warzone meta guide: Best CX-9 loadout for Season 5 Reloaded

sportskeeda.com:

Warzone Season 5 Reloaded is finally underway. This update brought several new additions and changes to the game. Along with two unique guns, Operators, and a new game mode, it also brought changes to the statistics of current weapons. This has resulted in a shift in the weapon meta.

The latest update buffed the CX-9 and nerfed several popular SMGs. Hence, the weapon has grown in prominence and is now considered one of the best Sub Machine Guns in the game.

CX-9 was originally known as the Skorpion EVO. It was introduced to the series with Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Since then, the weapon has only been featured in Modern Warfare (2019) and Warzone.

However, the weapon wasn't available on launch in MW 2019 and WZ. It came to the former title in late 2020, where it was exclusive to the 'Survival mode'. It was later added to the multiplayer mode in August 2021.

While the weapon remained fairly low in pick rate, the recent Season 5 Reloaded update provided a buff that saw the pick rate suddenly jump upto 1.2% (as per WZ Stats). This makes CX-9 among the top ten most picked SMGs in the game.

The SMG sports a fire-rate of 1034 rpm, which makes it one of the fastest shooting weapons in the game. Coupled with the recent buffs, it absolutely shreds through enemies in closer ranges within a matter of seconds.

Here's the best CX-9 loadout to dominate in close-quarter engagements:

First suggested loadout:

Second suggested loadout:

Players cannot go wrong with either of the choices. The first loadout is more suitable for rushing enemies in a tight and closed space. The second one is viable for maps such as Rebirth Island, where action is just around the corner and clashes often take place in close ranges.
