How to Unlock Chimera in MW2

Learn the quickest ways to unlock the Chimera assault rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. Get it via DMZ or multiplayer challenges.

Alright, let's get you that Chimera assault rifle in Modern Warfare II! It's a pretty sweet weapon, and luckily, there are a couple of ways to snag it. We'll break down both so you can pick the one that works best for you.

The Two Ways to Unlock Chimera:

• First up, you can extract with the Chimera from Building 21 in DMZ.
• Alternatively, you can get two operator kills with an assault rifle in 15 separate multiplayer matches.

Let's dive into each of these.

DMZ Method: Building 21 Extraction

This method involves a bit of a treasure hunt in DMZ. You'll need to get your hands on a Building 21 keycard. Once you have that keycard, you'll need to successfully extract with it from a DMZ match. After that, you'll head over to your DMZ map settings to find the new map. The exact steps for getting the weapon once you're on that map aren't totally clear yet, as the map itself hasn't gone live at the time of writing. So, while this is an option, it's not the most straightforward right now.

Multiplayer Method: Operator Kills

This is currently your most reliable bet if you own MW2. The goal is simple: get two operator kills using any assault rifle in a single multiplayer match, and then repeat that for 15 matches. Don't worry if you're not sure what 'operator kills' means – it just means taking down real enemy players, not bots in modes like Invasion or Spec Ops.

Pro-Tip for Grinding: Shipment 24/7!

To speed this up significantly, your best bet is to jump into the Shipment 24/7 playlist. It's a chaotic, fast-paced map where you can rack up those two kills super quickly. Here's the strategy:

1. Jump into a Shipment 24/7 match.
2. Get your two operator kills with an assault rifle as fast as you can.
3. Back out of the match.
4. Queue up for another game and repeat.

Honestly, getting two kills and backing out on Shipment can take as little as a minute or two. If you stick to this, you could theoretically unlock the Chimera in about 20 minutes. It might feel a bit repetitive, but it's definitely the quickest way to get it done.

Good luck with the grind! Whichever method you choose, you'll be rocking the Chimera in no time.
