Despite some launch issues, it is clear that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) is worth playing. With the likes of Soap, Price, Reyes, Hutch, and much more, there are a tonne of MW2 and Warzone 2 Operators that players can unlock.

Players will start with the Mil-Sim Operators for each faction and can then unlock additional, unique Operators in the latest Call of Duty title. This article outlines all the requirements to unlock every MW2 and Warzone 2 Operator for both the KorTac and SpecGru factions, so let's jump straight in with the KorTac faction!

Unlock All KorTac Operators - MW2 & Warzone 2

There are 11 KorTac Operators at the start of Modern Warfare 2, one less than the SpecGru faction. These include the likes of Hutch, Zero, and even Roze. Yes, she's back, but not in a pay-to-win fashion.

The SpecGru faction features 12 Operators you can unlock for MW2 and Warzone 2. These include fan favorites, such as Price, Soap, and Ghost. However, some players might not like the requirements to unlock these awesome Operators, as favorites are currently exclusive to the Vault Edition owners.

Gus Get five (5) Assists in a single Multiplayer match.
Kleo Get one kill with Lethal equipment.
Luna Complete Defender: Mt. Zaya Co-op mission.

So there you have the requirements to unlock all Modern Warfare 2 Operators for both factions. Yes, some are locked behind a paywall, aka the Vault Edition, and Warzone 2 players will have to complete certain parts of the Campaign (which means buying MW2) to get some of the Operators listed.
