How do you unlock weapons and attachments?
Hood Warfare 2 uses a reputation system: you level up by playing matches, and each level unlocks more weapons and equipment. Attachments such as sights, magazines, grips and suppressors are earned through weapon challenges, and every gun has its own kill-based skin unlocks. Before a match you pick perks and equipment for your loadout. Our beginner's guide walks through the first session step by step.
