There’s two directions you can take in order to unlock this weapon, and the first one is rather simple and will not take you too long.

All you need to do for this in-game challenge is find two longshot kills using SMGs across five separate games. This means you’ll want to play opposite to how SMGs should be used. Keep your distance, track enemies from afar, and control your fire in short bursts.

Two per game isn’t a huge amount though. This can easily be knocked out in a few matches in any Hardcore playlist, for instance.

The other method you can take in order to obtain the CX-9 is to purchase the Serac CX-9 blueprint within the in-game store for 2400 CoD Points. This totals out to around $20 USD and it’ll be inside the new Soap Operator bundle.
