How to Unlock All Weapons in Modern Warfare 2: Full List

Wondering how to unlock all of the weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II? We've got you covered.

By virtue of Infinity Ward streamlining the series' staple weapon unlock system for Modern Warfare 2, it's perhaps no surprise that many are wondering just how to unlock different guns. After all, terms like Weapons Platforms, Receivers and Weapon Vaults just haven't been used in Call of Duty titles before.

As such, here's a breakdown of how to unlock each and every weapon in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

How to Unlock All Weapons in Modern Warfare 2: Explained

First and foremost, it's important to note that what makes MW2's Gunsmith different is that it takes weapon manufacturers (e.g. Tempus Armaments) into account and groups their offerings into "Weapons Platforms." Although some Weapons Platforms still contain one weapon — such as the RPG-7 — other, more "Gunsmithable" Platforms are said to have three, four or even five different weapons (aka Receivers).

Instead of ranking up, think about ranking across. As in, leveling up each of the Weapon Platforms that can be customized in the Gunsmith.

For each new weapon that players unlock, it is highly recommended that you level it up to its Max Level. By doing this, you will get every weapon available at launch in your arsenal in its fully unlocked state, as well as the hundreds of platform-specific and universal-category attachments.
