These are the best weapons in the Modern Warfare 2 beta

The Call of Duty franchise returns to the modern-day era with Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare, which was a soft reboot of the MW sub-franchise within the CoD series.

The timeline and storyline in MW can be tough to follow, but there’s one constant that ties them all together and that’s the suite of modern-day weaponry and equipment that players can use when teaming up with friends.

Before hopping online, it’s important to know which guns are worth your time to level up and use when fragging the opposition. No matter what the Call of Duty game may be, there will always be a class of guns that stand out above the rest.

Here are all of the current best weapons in Modern Warfare 2, which is a very limited selection in the beta but will likely include way more to choose from at launch.
