Players can try out the Modern Warfare 2 beta and want to unlock the weapons the game has to offer. This is closely related to the new Gunsmith 2.0 mechanism it introduces. But the way it works can be a bit confusing in the beginning. So in this guide, let’s check how gunsmith 2.0 works and find out how to unlock weapons in CoD Modern Warfare 2.
How to unlock weapons in Modern Warfare 2
You can unlock new weapons in CoD Modern Warfare II using the Gunsmith 2.0 feature in the game. The weapon in this game works like a weapon platform. This is basically a family of weapons. The goal is to keep playing with one weapon and level it up. This will allow you to unlock the receiver for it. And when you unlock the receiver for your first weapon, it will unlock the next weapon for you. The best part is that the mods you unlock for your first weapon will also work on the new weapon.
For example, let’s say you have an FSS Hurricane. When you continue to play with him and level him up to 13, you will unlock the M16. So now you can get all your mods from the FSS Hurricane and use them on your M16.
Thus, in order to unlock new weapons in the game, you must continue to play with the weapons you have. As he levels up, he will automatically unlock the next weapon in his family or platform.
What weapons can you unlock in MW2?
