How to get Gaz and Klaus Operators in Modern Warfare 2
Just in time for the holidays.
Two new Operators are dropping into Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 with the Season 1 Reloaded update on December 14.
They join the cast of battle-hardened Operators, each with their own unique story. Fans will remember Kyle “Gaz” Garrick from the first Modern Warfare title and the 2019 reboot — and Captain Price’s right-hand man is now back for more.
On the other hand, Klaus Fisker is a new face. And despite his fearsome reputation, he’s looking very, very jolly.
Here’s how to unlock Gaz and Klaus.
How to unlock Operators Gaz and Klaus
Gaz
Gaz’s heroics during an attack on Piccadilly Circus in 2019 grabbed the attention of SAS Bravo Team captain John Price. He ultimately joined Price’s elite unit known as Task Force 141 and played a pivotal role in saving CIA officer Kate Laswell from Al Qatala.
How to unlock
Complete the Atomgrad Special Ops Raid to unlock Gaz and his Convoy skin. He is also available in-store with his Aquatic skin. Players who complete the Raid and purchase the bundle will unlock the Grass Ops skin as a bonus reward.
Klaus
A member of Denmark’s Elite Special Forces, Klaus is something of a living legend. In fact, some say his scotopic vision — his natural night vision — was so acute that he navigated a mile in pitch-black darkness before he was old enough to read.
One night on the Urzikstan border, he carried a wounded comrade 18 miles to the nearest base using the lessons taught by his father, and with the help of an unusual amount of chocolate that wounded soldier carried with him.
But one thing stands out beyond his exceptional training record — his unbridled optimism through exercises. Whatever the case, Klaus looks set to bring some festive cheer to your game.
How to unlock
Purchase the Tracer Pack: Klaus Operator bundle in-store.
The bundle features Klaus, two weapon blueprints, and other festive items.

Grid operators warn of electricity shortage amid switch to renewables: Report
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Electric-grid operators from across the country are warning of the potential for blackouts as companies attempt to transition to green energy sources.
“I am concerned about it,” MISO Chief Executive John Bear told the Wall Street Journal in a report Sunday. “As we move forward, we need to know that when you put a solar panel or a wind turbine up, it’s not the same as a thermal resource.”

AS GAS PRICES SOAR, EVS OUT OF REACH
Extreme heat and wildfires over the summer could lead to a shortage of energy in California, the state’s grid operator told WSJ. The Midwest could face similar issues with MISO warning of capacity shortages that could lead to outages.
The issue is on the rise throughout the country as many traditional and nuclear power plants are being retired to make way for renewable sources of energy, but the plants are going offline faster than renewable energy and battery storage can keep up.

Wind and solar farms are among the most popular forms of renewable power generation, but their lack of ability to generate power 24/7 means they have to store some of their energy in batteries for later use. But the development of better battery storage is underway, operators fear it isn’t happening fast enough to replace the retiring plants.
The risk of outages is heightened this summer, with supply chain issues and inflation slowing the pace developers can get the components needed to build renewable energy farms.

“Every market around the world is trying to deal with the same issue,” Brad Jones, the interim chief executive of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, told WSJ. “We’re all trying to find ways to utilize as much of our renewable resources as possible…and at the same time make sure that we have enough dispatchable generation to manage reliability.”
But others have argued for slowing the pace of taking traditional plants offline.
“We need to make sure that we have sufficient new resources in place and operational before we let some of these retirements go,” Mark Rothleder, the chief operating officer of the California Independent System Operator, told WSJ. “Otherwise, we are putting ourselves potentially at risk of having insufficient capacity.”
Colorado park ride operators failed to check seat belt of Wongel Estifanos before her death
Colorado amusement park employees failed to notice that a 6-year-old girl was not fastened into her thrill ride seat before she fell 110 feet to her death earlier this month, according to investigators.
Little Wongel Estifanos was ejected from the Haunted Mine Drop ride in Glenwood Springs while on vacation with her family over Labor Day weekend.
Wongel was sitting on top of two seatbelts that were fastened together — and two newly-hired ride operators didn’t properly check that she was buckled in before launching the doomed ride, state investigators told The Denver Post.
The girl was found dead at the bottom of the ride’s mine shaft. She suffered multiple blunt force trauma.
Investigators found that Wongel had a tail flap from the belt pulled over her lap, making it appear that she was strapped in when the operators made seatbelt checks.
An alarm system warned that the girl’s belt was still fastened from the previous ride, when the seat was unoccupied, but the ride operators were not trained well enough to know how to respond to it, according to the report.
One of the operators reset the system to stop the alarm and set the ride in motion, the investigators said.
“Operators took several incorrect actions and reset the ride seatbelt monitors which allowed them to dispatch the ride,” officials wrote in their report.
Investigators turned their findings over to local prosecutors, who are reportedly weighing charges in the tragic accident. Violations and fines are also expected to be levied, the Denver Post reported.
“The report makes it clear this is the fault of the park, not the fault of the rider,” family attorney Dan Caplis reportedly said.
“The park was fully responsible to ensure everyone was restrained. This is not one of those rides where the rider is responsible for anything, including buckling themselves in. The park is supposed to do all of that. The report makes it clear that this could have been so easily prevented.”
Investigators said they were contacted by someone who was also not fastened in correctly in 2019, but was able to convince the operators not to start the ride.
The future of the attraction, billed as the world’s first freefall drop to go underground, was “undetermined,” apologetic park officials told the paper.
