Modern Warfare 2 weapon Platforms: How to unlock every gun in Season 3

Modern Warfare 2 comes with over 50 weapons to enjoy, and a ton of them can only be unlocked through the weapon Platform feature. Here’s a list of each weapon Platform that explains how to unlock every weapon in Modern Warfare 2 Season 3.

Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 arrived on April 12 with two fresh 6v6 maps to explore, as well as new Operators Alejandro and Valeria. It also added two brand-new guns into the mix, joining the many different weapons to level up and grind camos for.

Infinity Ward has reinvented how players unlock their weapons in MW2, introducing the new Platforms feature. With some weapons being different versions of others, you’ll actually be leveling up certain weapons to unlock more.

Don’t worry if it sounds confusing, as we’ve got a full explanation of weapon Platforms and how to unlock every weapon in Modern Warfare 2 Season 3.

Modern Warfare 2 weapon Platforms explained

Modern Warfare 2’s new weapon Platform feature means that not every weapon is unlocked through a rank, you’ll actually need to progress through a weapon tree to unlock all of the guns within that Platform.

For example, to unlock weapons such as the FTAC Recon and 556 Icarus, you’ll need to hit at least Level 14 with the M4. Then, to unlock the M16, you’ll need to reach Level 14 with the 556 Icarus.

Certain attachments and camos will be available for the entirety of the Platform, making leveling up these weapons much quicker and easier.

We’re breaking down how to unlock every weapon in the game through weapon Platforms, as well as a list of the guns that are either in their own Platform or aren’t in one.
