Tired of popping up on UAVs and Heartbeat Sensors and wondering how to get the Ghost Perk in MW2? The Ghost Perk has always been a favourite of aggressive flankers and the primary counter to those pesky UAVs and other Call of Duty devices that cause players to show up on the minimap. And since the MW2 Perks operate a bit differently this time around, with Perk Packages and the brand-new MW2 Bonus and Ultimate Perks, it's only natural that many in the community are wondering how to get the Ghost Perk in MW2.

How To Activate The Ghost Perk in MW2
