Although plenty of focus sits on the guns in Modern Warfare 2, there are numerous Modern Warfare 2 attachments that allow players to customise any weapon in the arsenal to suit their style of play. With limitless options to choose from, finding the best ones to use is always a tricky task.

Attachments in Modern Warfare 2 include numerous categories including optics, stocks, barrels, and more. To add even more customisation to multiplayer, Infinity Ward has added the Reciever slot that gives players a chance to completely transform their weapon of choice.

Before we take a closer look at the Modern Warfare 2 attachments, don't forget to check out our guides showcasing the Modern Warfare 2 guns and the Modern Warfare 2 maps that will feature as soon as the game launches.

What are the best Modern Warfare 2 attachments?

With the full release of the game still a few weeks away, it's almost impossible to tell what the best Modern Warfare 2 attachments will be. However, the beta is right around the corner which will give players access to a small slice of the full build.

With plenty of changes coming to the Gunsmith, we will get a chance to test various attachments over the two weekends of early access so check back soon to see which attachments are making an impact during matches.

Modern Warfare 2 attachments list

Thanks to an overhaul to the weapon progression system in Modern Warfare 2, you only need to unlock some attachments once. Once unlocked, you can use them on any gun in the arsenal, taking away the lengthy grind.

A recent Call of Duty blog post shares a few of the attachments that will appear in Modern Warfare 2. Check them out below:

  • SZ Reflex Optic
  • Echoline GS-X Suppressor (Muzzle)

Once we find the full attachment list available for every single gun in Modern Warfare 2, we will update the guide.

Modern Warfare 2 attachment categories

For those familiar with previous iterations of the Gunsmith, Modern Warfare 2's will feature several attachment categories in addition to a brand-new attachment category. Check out the full list of attachment categories below:

  • Muzzles
  • Barrels
  • Optics
  • Stocks
  • Underbarrels
  • Magazines
  • Lasers
  • Rear Grip
  • Ammunition
  • Receiver

The last category is new for this year. Receivers belong to specific Weapon Platforms that act as a baseline for a particular group of guns. Unlocking a Reciever unlocks a new weapon that's part of the Platform. All attachments unlocked before earning the Receiver will carry over to the new gun so there's no need to work your way from the bottom.

That's everything there is to know about the Modern Warfare 2 attachments. Once we have more intel, we will share the best Modern Warfare 2 attachments to use.
