If you don't know what 'inspect weapon' means, it's essentially a method where you're able to get a better look at your equipped weapon. When inspecting a weapon, your player soldier will hold up their weapon in a different way, letting you see different angles of the gun in question. This feature is especially useful when you have a spicy new camo equipped and want to get a better look at it.

Every gun has an inspection method, and exclusive skins and blueprints from the store or battlepass come with more exciting methods of flexing your weapon. Whether it's taking a peek at the mastery camos or showing the world your brand-new in-store design, the MW2 weapon inspect makes for nice viewing - we know you montage lovers are keen.
