MW2 Union Guard Blueprint: What Is It?
The Union Guard blueprint is a cosmetic item but also has gameplay value. As a blueprint, it is essentially an alternative version of an existing weapon, the M4 in this case. Specifically, this is Captain Price's personal M4 which he uses throughout the campaign.
Unlocking the Union Guard gets you the cosmetic variation of the M4, but also some attachments. The weapon comes with the DSS Covert V silencer, SZ 1MW PEQ laser, Aim OP-V4 reflex optics, and the Lockgrip Precision-40 vertical grip. These attachments can be used however you choose, allowing you to customise your own version of the weapon.
