Modern Warfare 2 Progression & Military Ranks:

Modern Warfare 2 progression begins with Military Ranks; earning XP across all game modes unlocks critical items for players, including but not limited to:

• Additional default Loadouts in Multiplayer
• The ability to customize Multiplayer Loadouts, as well as Warzone 2.0 weapons (Rank 4).
• All weapon platforms, the majority of which can be edited in the Gunsmith (Gunsmithable)
• Lethal and Tactical Equipment for Multiplayer Loadouts
• Perks, Field Upgrades, and Killstreaks, part of Multiplayer

All of these items are incrementally and permanently unlocked for players by the time they hit the Military Rank 55 cap.

Modern Warfare 2 Daily & Career Challenges:

Modern Warfare 2 includes two challenge systems: Daily Challenges and Career Challenges. Daily Challenges reset everyday and grant players thousands of Player XP, while the more long-term Career Challenges are milestone-based and bear massive XP and cosmetic rewards, including Calling Cards, upon completion.

Daily Challenges:

Available in Multiplayer and Special Ops, as well as in Warzone 2.0 at its launch, Daily Challenges are a set of four challenges that reset on a fixed schedule (see the in-game timer for details).

In Multiplayer, the three Daily Challenges are from three distinct categories:

• A general challenge that may not require much change in playstyle (e.g., win a match in any mode, get 15 kills while aiming down sights).
• A weapon challenge that focuses on a specific weapon category (e.g., get 5 headshots with an SMG, get 5 Sniper Rifle kills)
• A special challenge that encourages exploration with specific Loadout features, such as a Field Upgrade or Perk (e.g., get 2 kills using Dead Silence, get a Drill Charge kill).
• After completing these three Daily Challenges, a Bonus Challenge unlocks. It is a “split” objective that allows you to make progress toward one of two objectives. Once one of the two objectives is completed, the Bonus Challenge’s XP reward is given.

Each Multiplayer Daily Challenge, as well as the Bonus Challenge, only rewards XP.

In Special Ops, the three Daily Challenges and Bonus Challenge within this experience are structured slightly differently:

• The first Daily Challenge is generic, which means it can be completed in any mission (e.g., get 5 Melee kills).
• The second and third Daily Challenges can be generic (e.g., use a Field Upgrade 3 times) or mission-specific (e.g., destroy 4 vehicles in Denied Area), or co-operative specific (related to Special Ops Kits, for example).
• The Bonus Challenge is a “split” objective with the choice of one of two Mission Challenges.

The first two Daily Challenges reward only XP. The third Daily Challenge, as well as the Bonus Challenge, award Special Ops Stars on top of XP.

The Daily Challenge systems for both modes are extremely helpful for reaching Rank 55 at launch and will be helpful during future Seasons. However, once you reach Rank 55 at launch, consider focusing on Special Ops Daily Challenges, as you can also earn additional Stars for the mode.

Career Challenges:

In addition to Daily Challenges, there is an assortment of Multiplayer and Special Ops Career Challenges at launch. Some of these, such as match wins and kills, will come naturally by simply playing the game. Others, such as earning kills with a specific weapon category or getting Longshots may involve changing your playstyle.

In Multiplayer, Career Challenge may have several milestone steps, which awards XP and may also grant Calling Cards. If you want, you can even continue pushing to fully complete a Career Challenge, which offers additional XP and a Calling Card.

In Special Ops, Career Challenges – split into Career Star Unlocks and Intel Collection – give a variety of currently-unspecified special rewards.

Once Season 01 is live and beyond, expect there to be additional challenges unlocked at Prestige Level milestones that offer more difficult objectives and XP rewards.
