The Call of Duty series has long rewarded its players with new weapons once they have reached their next overall level or completed specific challenges. Modern Warfare 2 shakes up this classic formula by having a majority of its guns tied to Weapon Platforms. These Platforms are essentially progression trees which require players to level up guns to unlock more in the same family. Here’s every Weapon Platform in Modern Warfare 2 and how to obtain each of their guns.
How to get every gun in the MW2 multiplayer
As shown above, each Platform is home to multiple weapons of various categories in the new Gunsmith. For instance, the M4 Platform will start players out with the M4 assault rifle, and the weapon can then be leveled up to unlock an additional Battle Rifle and LMG. These two guns will also need to be leveled up to earn the last two weapons in the Platform. However, there is a small group of weapons that do not belong to Platforms and will need to be obtained by increasing your account’s overall level (or “Rank”). You can find each weapon’s unlock method and their Platform below, listed in alphabetical order.
