How to inspect your weapon in Vanguard & Warzone

Weapon inspection is a classic Call of Duty feature that was missing from Vanguard at launch. However, the setting finally arrived in the Season 2 update, so here’s how to inspect your weapon in both Vanguard and Warzone.

With Call of Duty’s long-time focus on skins and cosmetics, the weapon inspect feature is a great tool to get a good look at your Blueprints or Mastery Camos. Simply press a button and your Operator will hold the weapon in the air, twirl it around, and sometimes inspect the magazine.

The feature wasn’t there in Vanguard at launch but arrived as part of the Season 2 update. The content won’t unlock until February 14th, but you can start inspecting your weapon as soon as the update is downloaded.

Here’s how you can inspect your weapon in both Warzone and Vanguard.

We recommend keeping the inspect weapon keybind out of the way, as it’s not something you want to press in the middle of a firefight. But, inspecting your weapon is a great way to check out your camos and Blueprints.
