Modern Warfare (MW) 2: How To Unlock Weapon Sights Or Optics

Updated Date :

The recent launch of COD Modern Warfare 2 features a plethora of weapon customizations. While some players can be confused about the weapon attachments, the improved Gunsmith offers plenty of new mechanics and customizations in MW2. Speaking of weapon sights, it is an attachment section that offers a wide range of optics. But how to unlock them? Check out our guide on how to unlock the Weapon sights or Optics in COD MW2.

How to Unlock Weapon Sights or Optics in MW2

Before you unlock the weapon sights section, you need to unlock the Multiplayer loadout. And you can unlock it by reaching level 4. Once you have unlocked the loadout, head over to the Optics of that weapon to equip different weapon sights. To unlock different weapon sights, you need to level up the progression of your weapons.

For the players that are unable to find the section, here’s how to find the Weapon Sights section in Modern Warfare 2:

  • Firstly, head over to the weapon menu and select the multiplayer loadout.
  • As you select the required loadout, choose your primary weapon and open its Gunsmith.
  • Now, select the Optics of the equipped weapon and check the different weapon sights.

  • Along with that, you will find several weapon sights that you can apply for the weapon.
  • While some of these weapon sights will be already unlocked, you need to grind to unlock some of them.
  • It can be a bit time-consuming but equipping them does have several pros and cons.
  • You can check the progression of your current weapon by hitting the Progression tab. You can find this tab at the top-right of the screen.
  • Lastly, select the weapon you want to unlock the specific weapon sights for.

As mentioned earlier, you need to level up the progression of your weapons to unlock the different weapon sights. You can check out our guide on how to get the Cronen Mini Red dot sight for more insight.
