How do you unlock the USP .45?

The USP .45 is available once Create-a-Class opens at Level 4 in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It is the most range-focused of COD4's three suppressible pistols. It combines a 12-round magazine with low recoil and a longer damage range than the M9 or M1911 .45. Its weaker moving hip-fire makes deliberate aimed shots more reliable than rushed spraying. It does not take camo.

How does the USP .45 play in COD4?

RoleLonger-reaching suppressible sidearm
StrengthsBest effective reach among the pistols that accept a Silencer; Twelve rounds provide a useful balance between capacity and control
TradeoffsLess forgiving hip-fire than the M9 and M1911 .45; The Silencer shortens its effective damage range
Useful setupSilencer is the only available attachment and suits stealth-focused classes; Its longer base range gives it more room to absorb the Silencer's range penalty than the other suppressible pistols
Use tipThe USP .45 has no camouflage challenges in original COD4. Use controlled aimed shots and switch to it before starting a primary-weapon reload in danger.
Compared withIt gives up three rounds to the M9 for better reach, while the M1911 .45 offers stronger close-range hip-fire but only eight rounds.
