The Minibak, used correctly, can be a great option in Warzone 2, MW2 and Ranked Play.

The Minibak is one of the last SMG weapons that you can unlock in MW2 and Warzone 2 but it is an incredibly powerful one to include in your loadout.

A pretty easy recoil pattern and a large 64-round mag, mean that the Minibak can be one of the most useful SMG weapons in MW2. Building a loadout for it properly can turn it into a powerful force.

How to unlock the Minibak in MW2

The Minibak is part of the Kastovia Weapon platform and is one of the last two weapons you can get from it. That makes it quite time-consuming to unlock in MW2.

Firstly, players need to unlock the Kastov 762, which is available at Military Rank 23. Players then need to follow the progression tree to the Minibak by levelling up weapons before it. The Kastov 545 is first, which needs to get to Weapon Level 13, then the Kastov-47u, which needs to be Level 18.

When all of that levelling is done, the Minibak will be available to use in both MW2 and Warzone 2.

The Minibak is very strong in Warzone 2. This is thanks to the ability to use five attachments on the weapon without having to worry about extending the magazine size. Some weapons have very limited ammo capacities but the Minibak's 64 is more than enough to take out an entire squad.

Using attachments to increase the damage range and help the recoil on the Minibak is the way to go. This allows for it to remain incredible up close but also act as a mid-range support weapon.

Pairing it with a sniper rifle or battle rifle is the best way to go in terms of getting maximum output from the gun.

In MW2 multiplayer, players encounter far fewer long-range and mid-range gunfights. This means that prioritising speed and ADS time should be the focus when building a Minibak loadout.

Running around Shipment is the best way to get a fun experience from the Minibak, with the gun allowing players to take out five or six opponents before needing a reload. Changing the stock to the VLK Stockless attachment does most of the work in making the gun far faster.
