The M1916 is the latest Marksman Rifle to join Warzone and Vanguard in the Season 3 update. Here’s how you can unlock this deadly AR upon its debut. 

The Warzone and Vanguard Season 3 update is just around the corner, which means plenty of new content will be added to both titles. Aside from the colossal Kong vs Godzilla event, players will also be able to get their hands on two new weapons. 

This time the developers are adding a new Assault Rifle and Marksman Rifle to the ever-growing weapon list. While the Nikita AVT Assault Rifle has received a lot of attention from the game’s community, the M1916 Marksman Rifle also aims to shake up the meta. 

The semi-automatic rifle comes packed with great damage and a fairly fast rate of fire, which makes it a great choice for those who enjoy weapons like the Kar98k. So, here’s how you can unlock the M1916 Marksman Rifle in both Warzone and Vanguard.

In order to unlock the M1916 in both Warzone and Vanguard, players will need to reach Tier 15 in the Battle Pass

This follows a similar structure to previous BP weapon unlocks and will be familiar if you’ve played before. 

It’s also important to note that the M1916 can be unlocked for free. This means every player can gain access to this new Marksman Rifle without spending any money on COD Points. However, if you wish to unlock it early, then you can always purchase a weapon blueprint or tier skips. 

Whether the M1916 will topple the Kar98k and take the crown as the best Warzone Sniper remains to be seen, but with its fast rate of fire and decent mid-range damage, it could become a new contender.
