Weapon Tuning is a new feature in Modern Warfare 2 that allows you to tweak different attributes of the weapon. After mastering a weapon, players can fine-tune different attachments to make slight adjustments to various attributes like Aim Down Sight Speed, Damage Range, etc. Here’s everything you need to know about weapon tuning in Modern Warfare 2, including how to unlock it and how it works.
Weapon Tuning is a new form of attachment customization available in Modern Warfare 2. The Tuning Menu consists of a radar graph with two sliders, allowing players to fine-tune different attributes for the attachment. Skewing stats to one end of the slider generally decrease the stat on the other end. In short, Weapon Tuning is Modern Warfare 2’s endgame weapon customization feature.
How to Get Weapon Tuning in Modern Warfare 2
To get Weapon Tuning in Modern Warfare 2, you need to max out the weapon’s level. Weapon Tuning is the max-level reward for all weapons, allowing you to fine-tune the characteristics of your modifications to enhance your gameplay.
Once your weapon level is maxed, you can go into the Gunsmith, choose an attachment slot, and select the Tune option.

Best Attributes to Fine Tune in MW2
When it comes to fine-tuning your weapon for your playstyle, the attributes you will probably notice the most are Aim Down Sight Speed and Recoil Stabilization/Steadiness. By definition, fine-tuning means making small adjustments to get the best performance. That said, you should work on optimizing your attachments to get your weapon exactly how you want it and then go into Weapon Tuning and make minor tweaks.
Weapon Tuning adds a level of customization that allows players to tailor the gun to a specific playstyle. It’s all about experimentation and seeing what works best for you.
