Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Gunsmith Details Revealed

Written by Brandon Hofer on September 14, 2022

News: There is an updated Gunsmith feature in Modern Warfare II that will be more immersive than ever before.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II players will be able to create an extension of their personal playstyle like never before with a revamped Gunsmith. The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Vault Edition comes with a first-ever loadout item ready for customization with Gunsmith - the FJX Cinder Vault, playable during the Open Beta to those who pre-ordered the Vault Edition, and on day one.

Based in part on what they have learned from the community, along with Infinity Ward’s commitment to making a broader and more explorative weapon builder, this Gunsmith’s initial features can be defined by the following:

Weapon Platforms - Grow and upgrade a weapon far beyond its class to truly customize your loadout. Evolve your weapon platform from an assault rifle to an SMG, DMR, and/or LMG by swapping Receivers on a specific platform, using a full suite of attachments to support your weapon’s role.

Progression Overhaul - Thanks to Weapon Platforms and branching progression, attachments are shared within and between Weapon Platforms. Depending on the attachment, it is either unlocked for all weapons within a Platform or unlocked for ALL weapons in the entire game. Expect reduced repetitiveness and reasonable challenges to unlock attachments and camouflage… and if you crave a journey towards Mastery, don’t worry: they have that planned, too.

Firing Range - Test your creation without sacrificing K/D within the Gunsmith. More intel to come at Call of Duty: Next - tomorrow starting at 9:30 am PT.

Call of Duty: Next will take place tomorrow morning and will show off some more of the future of Call of Duty. Will you be watching?
