Finding the best loadouts in MW2 takes a lot of trial and error, so here are a few we’ve found to be the most effective. You can see the loadout in pictures, text, and videos, so you can see each build in action before spending Battle Pass Tokens on it.
There are three loadouts below, but they are for primary and secondary weapons. This way, you can mix and match to have different loadouts for yourself. Videogamer also provides a great list for MW2 loadouts.
