New guns incoming
The Season 5 content drop for Call of Duty releases on August 7, bringing new weapons, maps, and more to Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
Four new weapons are making their way to Call of Duty, with two at launch, one during an event, and another mid-season. Plus, players can nab operators such as Sims, variants of Peter Stormare’s The Replacer, and an enigmatic BlackCell operator known as Solace.
Continue reading to learn more about the weapons and special attachments you’ll unlock through the Battle Pass and in-game events in Call of Duty Season 5.
PML 5.56
This mighty LMG has a high rate of fire and a significant damage output. The one downside is that it has a long reload time and strong recoil that will drift to the right. Players will have to conjure up a good loadout to mitigate that recoil.
How to unlock: Battle Pass Page 3 HVT, Page 11 HVT Battle Pass Blueprint.
- Levels: 39
- Mags: 3
- Mag size: 100
- Mastery Badges: Yes
- Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods

ABR A1
Known as the AUG in 2010’s Black Ops and 2020’s Black Ops Cold War, this three-round assault rifle makes a fast impression with its high damage output and versatility. If players want an even higher firing output, they can unlock a Fire Mod to turn the ABR A1 into a fully automatic gun.
How to unlock: Battle Pass Page 6 HVT, Page 14 HVT Tier Battle Pass Blueprint.

Boxing Gloves
Those who want to get up close and personal should lace up their boxing gloves. They may not be the most conventional weapons of war, only outputting a moderate amount of damage, but it’s an opportunity to get all over an opponent’s face with fast punches, and they also sport a “tremendous lunge distance.”
How to unlock: Reward in the ’90s Action Heroes event, which starts in-season
- Levels: 30
- Mastery Badges: Yes
- Attachments: None
- Customize Options: Skins.
Gravemark .357 Revolver
This hand cannon packs a punch, dealing high damage from a long range. With a “moderate fire rate,” players will have to be quite accurate to make this old-school revolver worth using. Wielding two of these revolvers in Akimbo will sacrifice accuracy, but it’ll sure have a lethal effect.
How to unlock: Reward in the Operation: Hell Ride event, which starts mid-season
- Levels: 26
- Mags: 3
- Mag size: 8
- Mastery Badges: Yes
- Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Fire Mods
- Customize Options: Skins, Camo and Reticle Unlocks (MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (2).
Attachment: 9mm PM Skull Splitter
This barrel turns the 9mm into something closer to a marksman rifle, increasing damage (especially for headshots) while reducing fire rate.
Supported weapons and how to unlock: 9mm PM Pistol, Battle Pass Page 7 Reward
Attachment: PPSh-41 Helical Magazine
Blow opponents away with this ammo magazine that greatly increases ammo count, letting players excel at “spraying bullets in close and medium ranges.”
Supported weapons and how to unlock: PPSh-41, reward for an in-season event
