How to unlock Minibak SMG in Modern Warfare 2

You will be able to unlock the Minibak SMG by going making your way through the Gunsmith Progression. This is very similar to the other weapons in the game. But before unlocking the Minibak, you need first to have the base weapon unlocked, which is the Kastov 765.

All you need to do is go to Gunsmith and navigate to the Kastovia Platform. Although these are things, you should keep in mind while aiming to unlock the Minibak Submachine gun in COD MW2.

  1. First and foremost, you must unlock and level up the Base Weapon, Kastov 765 Assault Rifle, to 12.
  2. Once you get to level 12 with the 765, you will get the Kastov 545.
  3. Upgrade the 545 Kastov to level 13. With that, you will be able to unlock the Kastov 74U.
  4. Level up the Kastov 74U to 18.
  5. Once you reach level 18, you can unlock the Minibak SMG.

When you are leveling up the Kastov 74-U, you will also be able to unlock the Vaznev-9K when you reach level 17 with that weapon. So you will be able to get two guns while you progress towards the Minibak SMG, which is one of the core advantages of farming and grinding for this weapon.

Yes, it is pretty confusing for newer players because it claims in many forums that to unlock the Minibak SMG, you need to level up the Vaznev 9K weapon to level 14 but for us leveling up the Kastov 74U up to level 18 unlocked the Minibak SMG.
