In the MW2 Gunsmith, players need to use other weapons to unlock guns in a specific Weapon Platform.

However, for players that might want to stick with an early gun, like the FTAC Recon, they should know the best loadout to use for it in Modern Warfare 2.

Players can unlock the FTAC Recon by ranking up the M4 and earning the REC_MSECHO Receiver. Once they have this Receiver, they have access to the FTAC Recon in the Gunsmith. The FTAC Recon is classified as a battle rifle, meaning it’s primarily meant to be used as a semi-automatic gun. However, the Recon does have a fully-auto option so players don’t have to manually shoot each bullet. Whatever way players decide to use the FTAC Recon, the best loadout for the gun doesn’t change.
