Medal of Honor Weapons Guide: Every Weapon, Class Unlock and Modification in Medal of Honor (2010)
Medal of Honor Weapon Guide - Introduction
In the second part of our Medal of Honor Multiplayer Guide, we’re going to cover the most important part of any online first person shooter: the weapons. Medal of Honor may not have the range of guns and other toys featured in a certain well-known FPS franchise, but its collection of real-life weapons have been comprehensively modelled and balanced for multiplayer gameplay.
In this article, we’ll take you through the weapons available to the 3 Medal of Honor Classes, give you the full Weapon Unlock Trees for the Rifleman, Special Ops and Sniper, as well as taking a look at MoH’s 3 Slot weapon modification system and the unlockable attachments.
Medal of Honor Rifleman Weapons
The following weapons are available to the Rifleman Class as they progress through the Levels in Medal of Honor Multiplayer:
Coalition:
Colt M16A4
This is the standard weapon for the Coalition Rifleman Class, already unlocked at Level 1 (Recruit). A good all-round assault rifle.
M249 (Mk. 46 Mod 0)
This Light Machine Gun unlocks at Level 4 (Veteran). A very powerful weapon in the right hands, but it can be difficult to accurately control your fire.
Opposing Force:
AK-47
One of the most famous weapons in the world, the AK-47 is the standard assault rifle for the Opposing Force Rifleman, unlocked at Level 1 (Recruit)
Kalashnikov PKM
Unlocked at Level 4 (Veteran), this is a fine weapon, capable of inflicting brutal damage on enemy troops.
Unlockable by Both Forces:
FN F2000 Tactical Assault Rifle
Beautifully modelled in Medal of Honor, with so much attention to detail you can actually read the manufacturer’s logo when you reload, the F2000 is a stunning weapon that you can unlock at Level 9 (Tier 1 Regular).
Veteran Weapons
Each Force can unlock enhanced “Veteran” versions of their standard Assault Rifle at Level 10 (Tier 1 Expert), and their Light Machine Gun at Level 11 (Tier 1 Veteran).
Using Enemy Weapons
Riflemen unlock the ability to use their opponent’s Assault Rifle at Level 12 (Tier 1 Operator), and Light Machine Gun at Level 14 (Tier 1 Elite).
Medal of Honor Special Ops Weapons
These weapons are unlocked as your make your through the Special Ops Class Ranks in Multiplayer in Medal of Honor:
Coalition:
Colt M4A1
This carbine is a particularly useful weapon once the Suppressor and Red Dot Sight have ben unlocked and added, enabling the Special Ops Class to down enemies rapidly. It is unlocked for the Special Ops Class at Level 1 (Recruit).
Remington 870 MCS
A powerful 12 Gauge shotgun, Spec Ops unlock this weapon at Level 4 (Veteran). It makes the ideal weapon for clearing enclosed areas on city maps, or getting up close and personal with an enemy under the cover of a smoke grenade.
Saab M136 AT4
This is the default special weapon for the Coalition Special Ops trooper, a powerful launcher capable of taking out several enemy troops at once, or causing major structural damage to their position.
Opposing Force:
Kalashnikov AKS-74U
Essentially a scaled-down version of the AK-47, this is the default weapon of the Opposing Force Spec Ops Class, available at Level 1 (Recruit).
Tula Arms TOZ-194
A brutal 12 Gauge shotgun, particularly useful in the confined spaces of the Kabul City Ruins map, unlocked at Level 4 (Veteran).
Bazalt RPG-7
Like the Coalition, the Opposing Force Special Ops Class possesses a rocket launcher to cause mayhem with, in this case the famous RPG-7.
Unlockable by Both Forces:
FN P90 Sub-Machine Gun
When you hit Level 9 (Tier 1 Regular) as the Special Ops Class, you get to unlock the mighty FN P90 sub-machine gun, an extraordinary killing weapon despite its diminutive size.
Veteran Weapons
Special Ops on each Force get the souped-up “Veteran” versions of their respective Carbines at Level 10 (Tier 1 Expert), and their Combat Shotguns at Level 10 (Tier 1 Veteran).
Using Enemy Weapons
Special Ops can use their opponent’s Carbine at Level 12 (Tier 1 Operator) and Combat Shotgun at Level 14 (Tier 1 Elite).
Medal of Honor Sniper Weapons
Our Medal of Honor Weapons list continues with the Sniper Class in MoH Multiplayer:
Coalition:
M21 Designated Marksman Battle Rifle
This is the default weapon for the Coalition Sniper Class. Although it has been modeled on the real-life 20 round version, the in-game M21 only hold 10 rounds in a clip to match the Opposing Force SVD Battle Rifle.
M24 Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle
This lethal long range weapon unlocks for Coalition Snipers at Level 4 (Veteran).
Opposing Force:
Norinco NDM-86 (SVD) Battle Rifle
The default weapon at Level 1 (Recruit) for Opposing Force Snipers is the .308 version of the Norinco NDM-86 Battle Rifle, referred to in-game as the SVD.
Izhmash SV-98 Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle
Unlocked at Level 4 (Veteran) for Opposing Force Snipers, DICE have again altered its real-life capacity to balance it with the opposition M24, so that it only holds 5 Rounds in MoH Multiplayer as opposed to 10.
Unlockable by Both Forces:
Heckler & Koch G3A4 Battle Rifle
One of the most highly rated weapons in the world, the G3A4 unlocks at Level 9 (Tier 1 Regular), and is spectacularly lethal combined with the Long Range Scope Unlock.
Veteran Weapons
Snipers can unlock improved “Veteran” versions of their Battle Rifles at Level 10 (Tier 1 Expert) and their Bolt-Action Sniper Rifles at Level 11 (Tier 1 Veteran).
Using Enemy Weapons
Snipers gain the ability to use the enemy’s Battle Rifle at Level 12 (Tier 1 Operator), and Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle at Level 14 (Tier 1 Elite).
Medal of Honor Pistols
To round out our Medal of Honor Weapons list, let’s take a look at the standard sidearms for the two Forces:
Coalition:
Beretta M9
When all else fails, every Coalition soldier can turn to his weapon of last resort, the Beretta. As in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the M9 has been limited to a 12 Round magazine for balance.
Opposing Force:
Izhmash MP-443 Grach (“Tariq”)
The default sidearm for the Opposing Force Classes, the “Tariq” in reality is an Iraqi knock-off of the Beretta M951, so DICE have mislabelled the real in-game pistol, the MP-443.

Medal of Honor Weapon Customization
To further personalize your own gun, each Medal of Honor weapon can be customized in 3 different areas, or “slots”. As you progress through the Levels in the Rifleman, Special Ops and Sniper Classes in Multiplayer, you will not only unlock new weapons, but components to bolt on to and enhance those new toys.
The 3 slots for weapon customization are as follows:
Rail Slot
- This is on the top of the weapon where you fix new custom scopes and sights.
Barrel Slot
- In this slot on the end of the weapon you can attach items such as silencers or laser sights.
Base Slot
- Here you clip in extended or improved ammunition magazines.
Medal of Honor Weapon Attachments
The following are the Medal of Honor Multiplayer weapon attachments that can be affixed to the customization slots, separated out into the 3 Classes:

Conclusion
While the Medal of Honor weapons, customization and attachments may not be as numerous as those found in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare titles, this may well work in the favor of the player who can get a good feel for which weapon he is personally most effective with, and customize it to his satisfaction. DICE and EA are undoubtedly planning lots of weapon and unlock DLC for Medal of Honor from quite early on its life, so don’t be surprised if this weapons list continues to grow substantially over the next few months.
In the next part of our Medal of Honor Multiplayer Guide, we’ll move on to look at the 8 available Multiplayer maps in EA’s new FPS.
