How to Equip Ranked Skin in MW2

It is straightforward enough to equip ranked Skin in MW2. However, you can only equip this Skin on four of the operators used from the two base factions. So, the Skin you have can be equipped for the following:

KorTac Faction: CDL Male Away | CDL Female Away

With that out of the way, let’s discover exactly how you can equip your unique ranked Skin in MW2.

All you have to do is select from the Operators listed above once you’re choosing your character. The Skins you have unlocked should be there for you to pick.

*Note: Many players have reported that Skins are locked regardless of their Rank. It is a known issue as seen on the official Trello board. So, if you cannot change your Skin, you may have to wait for a fix.*
