When you’re trying to up your game in CoD, it’s important to explore all the options available to you. This includes the various controller settings you can tweak to your liking.

In Modern Warfare (2019), Warzone, and Vanguard, it was called Contextual Tap. In Black Ops Cold War, it was named Prioritize Interact.

However, it does the same thing no matter what it’s called. This handy feature means you don’t have to hold down the interact button when opening/closing doors and picking up weapons.

Instead, all you need to do is tap the interact button. This makes it much quicker and easier to collect loot, open doors, and more. The only other significant change to bear in mind is that you will need to hold the interact button if you want to reload while near an interactable object, such as loot or a door.

So, if you want to know how to enable this feature (Prioritize Interact) in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, keep reading…
