The FIM-92 Stinger is an anti-aircraft missile launcher featured in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

The Stinger only appears in the campaign and her appearances are rare. The first time it appears is in the Hunted mission, to destroy a Mi-8 Hind. You can also find the Stinger camouflaged in various weapon hideouts in the mission Well, but if you use it, you draw everyone’s attention to you, which goes against the basic idea of the mission. It is there in 2 places. The first place is the church, in front of which the helicopter flies around. The second place is the building where the sniper is.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Campaign

You use a Stinger in the Wolverines! mission to take enemy Mi-28s out of the sky. You can also find one to destroy an enemy Little Bird in The Only Beautiful Day… was yesterday.

Multiplayer

The Stinger is available in multiplayer as a secondary weapon and is unlocked at level 30. It can lock onto enemy launch series and has 2 missiles in it. However, it can only be used to shoot down series, not people.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Campaign

A strange stinger can be obtained in the mission Persona Non Grata. If you use cheats to disable the ban on shooting at your own people, you can assassinate the loyalist at the beginning of the mission, who uses the Stinger to take down an enemy helicopter from the sky. The Stinger can be unlocked, but it cannot be used and has the appearance of an AT4.

Multiplayer

The Stinger is unlocked at level 40 and, as in the predecessors, can only shoot vehicles, not people. It has two missiles loaded and destroys launch series with one hit, unless the launch series had missiles for deflection. Since she only has two missiles, you have to die or find ammo if you want to take down launch series with more than one deflection missile from the sky. It is possible this time to target juggernauts and attack drones and pull the trigger. Another change is that you can target through glass, after which the missile will break through the glass and hit its target.

Update 1.15 for Playstation 3 introduced that the Stinger can no longer target Juggernauts.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

The Stinger appears in the campaign of Black Ops II. The first time it appears is in the mission Old Wounds, where the player has to destroy Russian tanks and helicopters with a Stinger. It can be fired both free and fixed. If you fire it in free mode, the missile can be ignited by the player himself, which means you don’t have to wait for it to hit. For the rest of the missions, you unlock it by completing 5 challenges in Suffer with Me.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

The Stinger M7 is an anti-aircraft launcher that appears in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. The launcher always fires a four-missile salvo per target.

Campaign
The Stinger M7 appears in the missions “Fission”, “Manhunt” and “Collapse”. It also makes brief appearances in the missions “Induction”, “Atlas” and “Gas”.

Multiplayer
In multiplayer, the Stinger M7 is unlocked from the start. It has two loads of 4 missiles each, which are directed at a target when fired.

Call of Duty

The Call of Duty series has existed since 2003 and in addition to various spin-offs, including for the handheld systems Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, 14 major titles of the series have now been released. Ever since the first part of the series, great emphasis has been placed on the online multiplayer mode in addition to the single-player campaign, which is also reflected in the development of the shooter series. Since the first Call of Duty, World at War, which was developed exclusively by Treyarch, each part also included cooperative challenges that you could play together with friends. The latest installment, Call of Duty: World War II, also features an extended multiplayer mode that puts you and your friends in the combat zones and famous battles of World War II. Using the divisions, you’ll be able to choose between the deadly sniper and the brute armored division and support your comrades in battle. In addition, World War II also has a zombie mode “Nazi Zombies”, as in its predecessor Call of Duty: Black Ops. Face the monsters of the Third Reich and win glory and honor.
