Five New Weapons Coming in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 6
Next week, on the 7th of October, Treyarch will be launching Season 6 for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. The new season features some big map changes for Verdansk, three new Multiplayer maps, and even the return of Alex Mason! It will also offer players five new weapons, including two new melee weapons.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 6 – Weapons
As always, the first two weapons to arrive in the Season 6 will be available as part of the new Battle Pass. The .410 Ironhide Shotgun, a powerful lever-action weapon which boasts 2-shot kills at close-range, can be unlocked by reaching Tier 15 in the Season 6 Battle Pass, for example. At Tier 31, players will unlock the Grav Assault Rifle, which boasts faster bullet velocity than any other assault rifle.
The Ironhide and Grav aren’t the only weapons coming at launch in Season 6, however. Also available at launch will be the Battle Axe, a new melee weapon. Not included in the Battle Pass, players can unlock the Battle Axe by instead completing an in-game challenge. A unique Weapon Blueprint version of the axe can also be acquired by purchasing a Store Bundle. This will also be available to buy at launch.
The final two weapons in Season 6 will be arriving mid-season. The first of these is the LAPA SMG; a full-auto submachine gun with good damage and control, at the cost of a slower fire rate. The LAPA will be available to unlock as an event reward in The Haunting Event; a Halloween event due to begin in mid-October. After The Haunting ends, players will be able to unlock the Hammer & Sickle – a dual melee weapon – by completing an in-game challenge. In both cases, unique Blueprints will also be available via Store Bundles.
