How to Use Sprays in Modern Warfare

Using a spray is nice and simple. Just press up on the directional pad and then use the right analog stick to select which one you’d like to use.

They can be branded across any flat surface in the game and are supported in all Modern Warfare multiplayer modes.

How to Unlock Sprays

You’ll start off with several basic options, but there are more to unlock as you progress through the game.

New options are often rewards for completing Multiplayer and Daily Challenges, and you’ll also find that several mission objectives in the campaign also reward you with new ones.

Equipping New Sprays

If you’ve unlocked new sprays and want to equip them then head to the Identity Menu, which is found under the Barracks tab.

Select Sprays & Gestures and then the Sprays option. Here you’ll find all the different ones that you’ve unlocked and you can then choose which to equip to your gesture wheel.

Time needed: 1 minute

In short, here’s how to use sprays in Modern Warfare:

  1. Press up on the d-pad.

  2. Use the right analog stick to select the one you want to use.
