Gyro aiming is a method of control that uses motion sensors to detect where you are aiming the device, meaning you can shift the entire controller and aim using that, rather than the traditional way of moving the joystick.

For Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, gyro aiming can only be used on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles due to it being built into the Dualshock controllers.

To turn MW2 gyro aiming on, you will need to start by heading to the options menu. From there, select 'Controller' and then press R1 to go to the Advanced tab. From here, you can turn on gyro aiming by changing the 'Gyro Behaviour' setting to 'On'.
