Season 3 of Warzone and Black Ops Cold War has brought with it plenty of new content, but it has also made a minor adjustment to the way you unlock the LC10 SMG. 

A brand new Season in BOCW and Warzone means fresh Call of Duty content. While the new PPSh and Swiss K31 may have stolen the spotlight in Season 3, the LC10 is still a decent choice that shouldn’t be underestimated.

The LC10 is the seventh SMG in Treyarch’s latest title and despite having a lesser damage output than most SMGs, it comes with unique benefits. It’s one of the most accurate guns in its class, even with an extraordinary rate of fire.

Regardless of what you play, this punchy SMG is still a well-rounded pick across both Warzone and BOCW multiplayer.

Here’s how you can grab the LC10 for yourself in Season 3.

Previously, the LC10 was unlocked at Tier 31 of the Season 2 Battle Pass. This has obviously changed as the introduction of the Season 3 Battle Pass has brought with it plenty of new and exciting content for players to unlock. 

If you’re looking to grab the LC10 in Warzone Season 3, then you’ll need to get 3 kills without dying in 15 different matches, while using SMGs. This may seem like a lengthy task, but it’s actually incredibly easy to pull off.

 The fastest way to unlock the LC10 in Season 3 is by playing Cold War’s TDM mode. In terms of guns, you want to pick either the MP5, MAC-10, or PPSh as these SMGs deal the most damage in closer-quarter scenarios. 

Perks like Flak Jacket, Scavenger, and Ghost will give you the best survivability when it comes to creeping up on your targets. Simply flank around the enemy team’s positions and let the bullets fly.

Of course, if you’re playing Warzone, then loading into a game of Plunder and hot dropping with an SMG is your best bet. Simply exit the game once you have secured your three kills, then load up another until you’re finished.
