The Union Guard legendary weapon blueprint contains the following attachments:

  • Muzzle: FSS Covert V Silencer
  • Laser: SZ 1MW PEQ Laser
  • Optic: Aim OP-V4 Reflex Optic
  • Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40 Underbarrel Vertical Grip

The Union Guard weapon blueprint is based on Captain Price's signature assault rifle, the M4A1, which he even used during Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019). The weapon houses the suppressed FSS Covert V Silencer muzzle for tactical and stealthy gunplay.

For the optic, the Aim OP-V4 Reflex Optic facilitates high-precision aiming, with a slight reduction to the aim-down-sight (ADS) speed. As for the next attachment, the SZ 1MW PEQ Laser, similar to Modern Warfare's 1mW Laser, will increase hip-fire accuracy.

The Lockgrip Precision-40 Underbarrel Vertical Grip is an underbarrel attachment for the M4 that is responsible for improving the recoil control by reducing the vertical movement of the weapon in exchange for a longer ADS time.

The Union Guard is a decent weapon blueprint in multiplayer if players haven't upgraded the M4 yet. Providing close to mid-range accuracy, the legendary blueprint has a more subtle and tactical classic design with the Union Jack sticker on its laser.


The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 campaign features Task Force 141 as they work to put an end to an emerging threat that could start the third World War. With a bunch of missions spanning several locations, the MW2 solo mode features unique combat scenarios, including stealth missions, swimming, and even predator drones.

While the campaign for the original Modern Warfare 2 from 2009 took around 6-10 hours to complete, the latest remake is expected to surpass it with its rewritten story that wishes to provide a more diverse experience.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available for pre-order and is set to be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, both on Battle.Net and Steam.
