Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Operators: how to unlock every Operator in the game

All the Coalition and Allegiance Operators and how to unlock them

modern warfare 2019 operators

Want to unlock every Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Operator? Many CoD fans were concerned that the reveal of Operators meant a return to the Specialists that featured in Black Ops 4. To help you separate fact from fiction, we’ve spoken to the devs to clarify what Modern Warfare Operators are, how they work, and all the Operators revealed so far.

The first we saw of Operators in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 was way back when the pre-orders were announced, revealing three different operators: All Ghillied Up, War pig, and Crew Expendable. Operators have a unique character model, customisation options, character dialogue, and backstory. Unlike the specialists in last year’s Black Ops 4, however, Operators will not have abilities affecting gameplay, but some will call back to classic missions from Call of Duty 4. In addition to their own look, each Modern Warfare Operator has a special execution, so if you walk up to an enemy and hold the melee button you’ll perform a special kill cinematic.

Operators are split between the two different multiplayer factions, Allegiance and Coalition, so below you can see a list of Operators for each side.
