Believe it or not, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 campaign features a crafting system, albeit a very simplistic one. Certain missions will task players with crafting items like bombs, traps, and other makeshift tools. Different missions will call for different crafting ingredients, but you won’t know what materials you need until you collect the right items. This guide will go over each crafting recipe in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 so that you can easily craft what you need.

How to Craft

In order to craft items in Modern Warfare 2, players must first loot and scavenge for scraps that can be used for crafting. Crafting materials can be found throughout the environment and can include things like rope bindings, metal scraps, bottles, and chemicals. Once you have collected a few crafting ingredients, press up on the D-pad to bring up the crafting wheel, then select the item you wish to craft. This is also where you can equip and swap out different crafted items.
