The recent launch of the sequel of the MW reboot, Modern Warfare 2, features a plethora of new content. This includes new game modes, weapons, maps, and several other gameplay elements. Speaking of the recurring game modes, Spec Ops was first featured in Modern Warfare (2019). As you progress with these Co-op missions, you will get a Backpack that you can load up with different types of kits. But several players are confused about upgrading or leveling up these kits and their tiers. So, check out our guide on how to level up Spec Ops kits and tiers in MW2.
How to Level Up Spec Ops Kits & Tiers in MW2
You need to collect the stars during the Spec Ops missions to level up your kits and tiers in Modern Warfare 2. For that, complete different challenges or objectives in the Spec Ops missions to earn these stars. You can earn a maximum of three stars in every Spec Ops mission. Alternatively, you can also replay these missions to get the stars. But make sure to equip the kit that you want to level up.
In total, there are three kits and they are as follows:
- Assault
- Medic
- Recon
Every Spec Ops kit can be leveled up to a maximum tier or rank of 10. Each of the above types of kits has different tiers that are unlocked with stars. And each of them has different perks as you unlock them. But before you do so, you also need to unlock the Medic & Recon kits. While the Medic kit can be unlocked with 1 star, the Recon kit can be unlocked with three stars. You can also unlock them by completing a single Spec Ops mission with three stars.
