You can craft certain weapons and tools after finding the resources needed for them in CoD MW2. These are easy to come across when you explore the areas, all you have to do is interact with them and add them to your inventory. After you have the materials here is what you need to do:

  1. Press the Up key on the D-pad of your controller. This will bring out your crafting wheel allowing you to select from one of the 6 items to craft.
  2. Use your Right joystick to select the item that you wish to craft.
  3. If you have the materials for it, you will see an animation play and your character will craft the item.

You cannot craft in every mission but only the ones you have a backpack on you. Here are all the things that you can craft in this game:

  • Pry Tool
