Call of Duty Season 3 arrives in Black Ops 7 and Warzone on April 2, and Activision has revealed all the new weapons you can unlock throughout the season. Season 3 further expands Black Ops 7’s arsenal with six more DLC weapons, and they can all be earned for free. In this guide, we’ll highlight all the new weapons and how you can unlock them.
The Season 3 roadmap for Black Ops 7 and Warzone details a brand-new battle pass, seasonal events, more multiplayer maps, new Zombies content, and new movement mechanics for Warzone.
If you miss the unlock window for any weapon on this list, it will be added to the Armory section of the Black Ops 7 and Warzone menus. This will let you complete a different unlock challenge to earn the weapon. This also applies for any of the past seasonal weapons or loadout items you might’ve missed.
MK35 ISR
The MK35 ISR is described as being a full-auto assault rifle with low recoil for solid accuracy, while offering moderate damage and handling. Its design is inspired by the M27 assault rifle from Black Ops 2.
How to unlock the MK35 ISR: This gun is unlocked as an HVT reward on page three of the Season 3 battle pass.
Weapon details:
- Levels: 43
- Mags: 3
- Mag size: 30
- Mastery Badges: Yes
- Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
Prestige attachment: Barrel – 19″ MFS Nightfall Suppressed Barrel
This prestige attachment is an integrated suppressor barrel that removes firing signature from mini-map and improves the gun’s damage range and hipfire spread.
VST
The VST is described as a lightweight and full-auto submachine gun that supports multiple calibers.
How to unlock the VST: This gun is unlocked as an HVT reward on page six of the Season 3 battle pass.
Weapon details:
- Levels: 39
- Mags: 4
- Mag Size: 30
- Mastery Badges: Yes
- Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
Prestige attachment: Fire Mods – MFS 5.56 MINSAS Conversion
This prestige attachment converts the VST to use 5.56x30mm ammo for improved damage and range with more controllable recoil, but it does have a negative impact on the fire rate, mobility, and handling.
Strider 300
The Strider 300 is described as a bolt-action sniper rifle. It features fast handling with a slow rechamber and moderate stability.
How to unlock the Strider 300: This gun is unlocked as a reward in the Lost Outpost event arriving later in the season.
Weapon details:
- Levels: 37
- Mags: 4
- Mag Size: 8
- Mastery Badges: Yes
- Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
Prestige attachment: Underbarrel – MFS Ballast Guard Stabilizer
This prestige attachment is designed to remove much of the gun’s idle sway and drastically improves both aim walking steadiness and aiming movement speed, but it negatively impacts the handling, flinch resistance, and removes the ability to hold your breath with this sniper.
1911
The 1911 pistol was made popular with the older Call of Duty Zombies maps, and now the gun returns in Black Ops 7 and Warzone for Season 3. This is a semi-auto pistol with high damage at close range, and it features decent recoil control and modest ammo capacity.
How to unlock the 1911: This weapon will be available to unlock as one of the weekly challenge rewards during Season 3.
Weapon details:
- Levels: 29

- Mastery Badges: Yes
- Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
Prestige attachment: Muzzle – MFS Overdrive Auto-Brake
This prestige attachment is a full-auto conversion. It provides a very fast fire rate, and it has a slight improvement to its first-shot muzzle rise, but the attachment negatively impacts the hipfire spread.
Siren
The Siren is an energy weapon categorized as part of Black Ops 7’s Special Weapon class. This gun features a high-damage but slow-moving projectile that passes through enemies. It can be charged to improve projectile velocity.
How to unlock the Siren: This gun is unlocked as an event reward later in the season.
