There are over two dozen Operators in total. In Modern Warfare 2, these are split across two teams called SPECGRU and KORTAC. You’ll have access to some of them when first loading into Modern Warfare 2, but most will need to be unlocked by playing the game, or by purchasing seasonal Battle Passes. Here’s how to unlock all Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone Operators including Ghost, Soap and Price. On this page:
How to unlock all Operators
Each Operatorhas a slightly different unlock requirement. Some are as simple as completing a campiagn mode mission, while others will task you with completing challenges in multiplayer matches. Here’s how to unlock all Operators, split into Modern Warfare 2’s teams:
SPECGRU Operators
KORTAC Operators
Here’s how to unlock some of the Operators outside of the game itself - through seasons, promotions and special packs:
Modern Warfare 2, Warzone 2 Season 1 Operators
There are three new Operators coming to Modern Warfare 2 as part of the Season 1 update. Zeus is the first, and can be seen as the main featured Operator in the image below. They will be unlockable via the Battle Pass that launches November 16th. Next up is Klaus, whose appearence has yet to be fully revealed. All we know is that they are set to be added at some point during Season 1. Finally, there’s Gaz, who will also be added during Season 1. We don’t know exacty when, but those who’ve played the Modern Warfare 2 Campiagn will no doubt be familiar with the character.
How to unlock Messi, Pogba and Neymar Jr Operators
That’s right, Paul Pogba, Leo Messi and Neymar Jr. are all set to be added to Modern Warfare 2 during Season 1. Each launches separately, and can be purchased from the in-game store as part of limited-time bundles. Here’s the release dates for each:
Neymar Jr - Monday, November 21st 2022 Pogba - Friday, November 25th 2022 Messi - Tuesday, November 29th 2022
How to unlock Soap, Farah, Ghost and Price Operators
If you’ve loaded up Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer, you will notice that Farah, Soap, Price and Ghost are all available as Operators. There is a catch however, as you’ll only have access to them if you have the Vault Edition of the game. The Operators are included in the Red 141 Team Operator Pack. This is…pretty pricey, bundling a bunch of exclusive skins and Operators. It’s possible that these Operators will be available for all players later down the line. But for now, buying the Vault Edition is the only way to get them. The release of Warzone 2.0 is here! If you want to put together a strong arsenal, we explain the Warzone 2.0 best guns, plus how to forge a solid M4 loadout, Kastov 762 loadout, FSS Hurricane loadout, FTAC Recon loadout, VEL 46 loadout, Lachmann Sub loadout, Victus XMR loadout, SP-R 208 loadout and M16 loadout. Elsewhere, we have explainers on Season 1 Battle Pass skins and blueprints, AQ Soldiers, contextual tap and how to unlock Operators.
How to unlock the Oni Operator
The Oni Operator is currently exclusive to those that pre-ordered Modern Warfare 2 on PlayStation platforms. In the past, these skins have been made available for all players some time after launch. Whether that means Oni will arrive for others later - both for non-preorder players, as well as those on Xbox and PC - remains to be seen. Looking for more on Modern Warfare 2?
