A guide to the Slimline Pro optic in Modern Warfare 2

The Slimline Pro optic is present in the game as an unlockable attachment. Fans have been looking forward to equipping this with their weapons; however, they haven't been able to do so.

This is because there is no way at the moment for gamers to unlock it, despite the fact that it is present in the title. It is speculated that the attachment will be available to unlock after Season One drops on November 16, along with Warzone 2.0, and the most awaited DMZ mode.

Season One is slated to introduce various new weapons to Modern Warfare 2. It is possible that leveling up one of those upcoming guns will enable players to acquire the Slimline Pro optical sight.

However, if they wish to give the attachment a try right now, they can simply head over to a Private match. To do this, follow the steps below:

1) From your Modern Warfare 2 main menu, navigate to the Private Match tab and select "Create A Private Match."

4) Once that is done, proceed to start the match. Upon spawning, you can use the Slimline Pro optic.

Alternatives to Slimline Pro

Since it is not available at the moment, it is recommended to use other optical sights in the game that offer a clean and clear view of one's enemies as well as the environment. There are two such sights available, one comes with a green dot and the other comes with a blue dot.

Both are amazing in core multiplayer modes and offer excellent visibility. They are:

1) Cronen Mini Red Dot

Although this attachment is called a red dot, it comes with a green reticle. It is one of the earliest unlockables and provides a proper vision of enemy targets. To unlock it, you will have to upgrade the FSS Hurricane SMG to level 3.

2) Cronen Mini Pro
