Everything fans need to know about unlocking the Cronen Mini Pro sight in Modern Warfare 2

The Cronen Mini-Pro is an optic sight in Modern Warfare 2. It is popular among fans as it is one of the few sights that provides a blue dot. There are a total of 36 optical sights, out of which only two have a blue reticle. One of them is the Cronen Mini Pro and the other is the Corio RE-X Pro.

Players prefer the former over the latter, as the Corio RE-X Pro is hefty and takes up a lot of space as users aim down their sights. However, that is not the case with the Cronen Mini Pro. It is sleek and clean, enabling gamers to see through clearly as they zoom in.

Aside from offering a rare blue dot reticle, the Cronen Mini-Pro has several benefits in the game. Due to the sleek and elegant design of the sight, it provides an unobstructed view of the targets.

Most scopes are bulky or aren't clear enough to maintain a proper line of sight in this fast-paced shooter. Hence, using the Cronen is a great choice for weapons that will be utilized to engage in short to mid-range combat such as on sub-machine guns and assault rifles.

Moreover, the clear sight also enables you to recoil control effectively as you can see where your bullets are traveling. Thus, countering the recoil pattern becomes easy with this attachment.
