Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 Special Weapons Guide

Special weapons in Call Of Duty include all the weapons that can be unlocked by either completing a mission normally or as a reward for completing 2 or 5 challenges in each single player mission. Their peculiar features sets them apart from all the other weapons: no attachments can be used for any of these weapons and most of the times you’re looking at some overpowered pieces of equipment. They will make your life even easier while playing on Normal difficulty but they’ll really shine on harder difficulties modes.
