Modern Warfare 2 has been out for months now, and with it comes Call of Duty’s regular arsenal of lovingly detailed weapons. The wealth of weaponry on display is a site to behold, allowing you to customize your loadout precisely as you see fit. But as you unlock more and more firepower, it can be difficult to know which tools are the best of the bunch. Luckily, that’s what we’re here for with a Modern Warfare 2 weapon tier list.

Of course, we will be updating this regularly, particularly after new seasons and mid-season updates are launched in MW2, including the latest mid-season arrival of the Season 2 Reloaded update.
