If you are not liking the weapon in MW2, you can however try other options such as VEL 46, FSS Hurricane, and Lachman-556 until you will get the option to upgrade yours. To begin upgrading and customizing your weapon, you will need to reach level 5. Right off the bat, you will get a basic standard-class setup of the M4 rifle. For that reason, M4 does not need to be unlocked and will be available from the beginning.Īs you level up, you can however unlock more weapons in the progression tree of Assault Rifle, for example, M16. In Modern Warfare 2, the M4 is the first weapon in the AR weapon platform. It has always been the go-to weapon for assaulters in every single Call of Duty installment to date.
The beloved M4A1 assault rifle returns in Modern Warfare 2 as the M4.
