Is there a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 pre-order bonus?

What do you get with mw2 Vault Edition?

Yes, there is a pre-order bonus available to everyone, regardless of what version you purchase. Pre-order the game digitally and you can play the MW2 campaign a week early.

This CoD: MW2 pre-order bonus is available to anyone who pre-orders a digital copy of the game, either Standard Edition or Vault Edition. Pre-order a digital copy on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Steam, or Battle.net to receive your early campaign mode pre-order bonus.

If you prefer a physical copy of the game, you’ll miss out on playing the campaign early. You can order the Standard Edition of the game through retailer GAME, however, to receive a nifty exclusive steelbook.

In terms of deals, you can get 15 per cent off at Currys, when you use the code COD15 at checkout. Our widget below should pull in prices from around the web to boot.

What comes with the MW2 Vault Edition?

What do you get with mw2 Vault Edition?

The Vault Edition of MW2 is digital-only and will set you back £99.99 on Xbox or PlayStation and £84.99 on Steam and Battle.net. The Vault Edition is cross-gen just like the Standard Edition of the game and it comes bundled with a host of extras.

In terms of Vault Edition deals, there aren't many to be had as of yet. You couldsave a quid at CD Keys, where PC codes for the Vault Edition are currently going for £83.99.

Included in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Vault Edition is:

  • Red Team 141 Operator Pack (Includes 4 Operators: Ghost, Soap, Farah, and Price)
  • FJX Cinder first-ever Weapon Vault
  • Season One Battle Pass and 50 Tier Skips
  • Ghost Legacy Pack
  • Red Team 141 Ghost Operator in Call of Duty: Mobile (pre-order bonus)

That’s everything included in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Vault Edition. While it will set you back an extra £25-30 over the Standard Edition of the game, those extras could be worth it. The free Battle Pass and 50 Tier Skips in particular look like a solid deal for that extra cost. Now it’s up to you to decide.

Hopefully, you can now go to your preferred retailer and pre-order whatever version of MW2 you prefer. Remember, though, you only get the campaign mode early access when pre-ordering digital copies of the game. You’ll have to wait with everyone else for the full game to release to play through the story if you opt for a physical copy.

Each year, Call of Duty offers an additional tier to the base game at launch to allow players exclusive extras with the newest title. Modern Warfare 2 is no exception to this, offering the Vault Edition for players who are looking for a few more things in their loadout when they launch the game for the first time. 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is already one of the most expensive Call of Duty titles with the base game costing $69.99 alone on all platforms. With such a steep price point, it can be difficult to make the added $29.99 jump to purchase the Vault Edition of the game. With four exclusive operator skins, an assault rifle blueprint, and more, though, the Vault Edition is definitely enticing, to say the least.

But it begs the question: Is it worth it?

Everything included in the Vault Edition 

To purchase the Vault Edition of MW2, it will cost players $99.99, which does not include tax or potential shipping for physical copies. On the surface, the $30 addition to the $70 game may not seem like it is worth the money. It is only when you break down what is included in the Vault Edition that you realize how valuable the deal really is. 

  • Season one battle pass
  • 50 tier skips
  • Red Team 141 Operator Pack
  • FJX Cinder Weapon Vault
  • Khaled Al-Asad Bundle (Available in Vanguard and Warzone)
  • Final Judgement Bundle (Available in Cold War and Warzone)
  • Ghost Legacy Pack (Available in Modern Warfare [2019] and Warzone)

Not only does the Vault Edition include extras for MW2, but it also shows love to previous titles, too. That way, players who frequently play previous titles can showcase that they spent a little extra on the latest title. Even if the three extra bundles for the older titles were $5 a piece, that already makes up half the value of the upgrade alone. 

Traditionally, the Call of Duty battle passes are 1,000 Call of Duty Points, which is equivalent to $9.99. Skipping one tier usually costs 150 CoD Points, meaning players would need 7,500 CoD Points to purchase 50 tier skips. The cheapest option for 7,500 CoD Points is roughly $62, which does not include purchasing the battle pass. That is $72 for the battle pass and tier skips alone, doubling the cost of the Vault Edition upgrade already.

What draws players to the Vault Edition most is the Red Team 141 operator pack and the weapon vault blueprint. The Red Team 141 pack includes four operators that can only be obtained through the Vault Edition. Ghost, Farah, Price, and Soap are all included in the pack and are stylized similar to “Ghost,” who became popular in the original Modern Warfare title. These operators cannot be purchased another way or unlocked by completing certain missions, meaning once the Vault Edition is gone, so are they.

The same goes for the blueprint, which gives players access to one of the many weapons available in the MW2 beta. The FJX Cinder is an assault rifle that will come with exclusive red skins and pre-unlocked attachments with the base game add-on. That way, players can stomp early on because they have certain attachments unlocked for the weapon early.

So, is the MW2 Vault Edition worth it? Yes. Outside of the operator pack and weapon blueprint, the Vault Edition is worth it for the battle pass and tier skips. 

How to get the Vault Edition

If players have already purchased MW2 without the Vault Edition, there is still time to grab it. For players on PC who purchased the game through Steam or Battle.net, there will be an additional button that allows players to add on the Vault Edition. Aside from the $30 difference between the two versions, there is no additional cost to buy the Vault Edition after purchasing the base game.
