Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 2 has arrived. The massive new season includes a vast amount of new additions, changes, and improvements.

All Modern Warfare 2 Season 2 new weapons

In total, there are four new weapons for players to unlock at the launch of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 2. They each fall into a different gun category, offering players plenty of choice for mixing up their gameplay.

Here are the four new weapons in Modern Warfare 2 Season 2:

  • ISO Hemlock: Assault rifle
  • Dual Kodachis: Melee weapon
  • Crossbow: Marksman rifle
  • KV Broadside: Shotgun

All four of these new weapons can also be used in Warzone 2, in addition to the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. Each one has a different requirement for unlocking them. Some are in the Season 2 battle pass while others are unlockable via challenges. Here’s how to unlock all of them.

The new assault rifle in Season 2 is the Modern Warfare 2 ISO Hemlock. This mid-range beast uses 5.56 ammo. It also has the option to use tremendously strong subsonic .300 BLK bullets. The Hemlock is one of the most powerful guns in its category, packing a punch when it comes to mid-range gunfights.

Players who wish to unlock the Modern Warfare 2 ISO Hemlock will need to progress in the Season 2 battle pass. The battle pass system follows a freeform format where players decide which unlock to pick next. Players have the opportunity to prioritize the Hemlock as soon as the season begins.

The Hemlock is part of the free battle pass tiers, so anyone can unlock it. There is no need to spend money on the premium battle pass.

The latest melee weapon in Warzone 2 and MW2 is the Dual Kodachis. These two Japanese-style short swords aren’t just for show, either. The Dual Kodachis function differently from the standard knife and other melee weapons in the CoD game.

The Dual Kodachis have a long-range attack, allowing the player to effectively launch from a further distance and attack their foes. In addition, the two melee weapons mean that players can slice and dice much faster with these swords. However, the negative is that players don’t sprint as fast as with knives.

The Dual Kodachis are also free within the Season 2 battle pass. You can choose to unlock them whenever you want, so long as you have enough battle pass tokens.

There is a new marksman rifle in Season 2, but it might not be what you expect. Not a gun in the traditional sense, the crossbow has arrived in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. The crossbow is an entirely silent weapon, making for the perfect long-range weapon for skilled players.

The crossbow is decently fast for a marksman rifle, with each bolt capable of dealing intense damage to enemies quietly. It even comes with its own exclusive customization in the Gunsmith that is unique to it.

Players who wish to become a crossbow hunter in battle royale will need to complete all seven of the event challenges for the Path of the Ronin event in Season 2. Alternatively, you can purchase a special cosmetic store bundle for it.

Lastly, the fourth and final weapon at Season 2’s launch is the KV Broadside shotgun. This 12-gauge shotgun is the smoothest and fastest shotgun in its weapon class. The semi-auto short-range dominator may not be as strong with each individual shot but it more than makes up for that in its speed.

Players who wish to use the KV Broadside to quickly dispose of enemies in close-range and indoor engagements will need to progress in the Season 2 battle pass. It is the third weapon there. You can prioritize this shotgun by spending all your battle pass tokens to unlock it as soon as you have enough.
