Modern Warfare 2 'Minibak not unlocking': How to fix, possible reasons, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Unable to unlock the powerful sub-machine gun, Minibak, in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2? Many players have reported facing annoying issues with the Kastovia weapon platform, which features five guns: Kastov 762, Kastov 545, Kastov-74U, Vaznev-9K, and Minibak. Major complaints proclaim that players have been unable to unlock the Minibak despite completing the related missions as stated in-game.

According to the Kastovia platform page in-game, one can unlock the Minibak SMG by leveling up its predecessor on the platform, Vaznev-9K, to Level 14. Similarly, the weapon platform states that one must level up the Kastov-74U to Level 13 to unlock Vaznev-9K.

That said, completing the aforementioned missions hasn't produced the expected results, as per reports. Luckily, there are a couple of workarounds to try and fix the issue stated above.

Some Modern Warfare 2 players found answers to the anomalies in the Kastovia weapon platform. As it happens, the goals to unlock Minibak and Vaznev-9K, which are stated in-game, are inconsistent with the game's backend status.

In order to unlock Minibak in Modern Warfare 2, one has to level up the Kastov-74U to level 18 instead of focusing on the Vaznev-9K. As for the Vaznev-9K itself, one has to level up the Kastov-74U to Level 15 instead of the original mission, which stated Level 13. Following these changes will help you unlock the Minibak weapon in Modern Warfare 2.

The aforementioned issue may happen due to a bug or an inconsistency in the game's programming aspect. In fact, Kastov-74U’s track page in Modern Warfare 2 showcases Minibak at Level 18. It's better to ignore what the platform missions state at the moment and follow the workaround that has proven to be a success for most players.
