Lightweight



Lightweight is a Tier 2 perk appearing on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that allows players to move faster. The released version of this perk granted a 10% movement speed boost, but player analysis of the data files following the PC 1.06 patch indicates that the boost was silently reduced to 7% without comment from Infinity Ward. The Pro version allows players to fire their weapon faster after sprinting. It reduces the delay between stopping and shooting to half of its original value.

To complete the challenge Lightweight Pro VI, and unlock the emblem, you need to run 250 miles with this perk equipped.

This Perk is unlocked at the start of the game.

Tips

 * The effect of this perk's pro effect stacks with the pro version of Sleight of Hand, thus making for faster aim down sight AND fire after sprint times.
 * It is easier to complete this Perk's challenges with Marathon, as both require sprinting for a certain distance and Marathon obviously allows players to sprint much further in a game.
 * This Perk competes with Cold-Blooded for the best Perk 2 for knife-only classes.
 * It is inadvisable to use this Perk without Marathon and a high mobility weapon, such as an SMG, Sniper, or Assault Rifle, as any other setup will benefit very little from the 7% movement speed increase, however it can be useful on some maps to allow the user to get to vantage points quicker than the enemy at the start of the match (such as the large bunker on Afghan). However whichever weapon is used will need to be able to "cope" without Stopping Power.
 * With Marathon it is great for capturing flags and rushing back to defend them in Domination.

Trivia

 * This perk was seen in the teaser trailer in early 2009 on the elevator level indicator.
 * This perk, coupled with a high-mobility weapon is required to reach some difficult jumps in multiplayer.
 * This perk is considered to be one of the most difficult to complete Pro Perk challenges with because it has such long distance requirements.
