The Nail Gun is one of the latest weapons added to Black Ops Cold War and Warzone in Season 4. Here’s how you can get your hands on the powerful new Special Weapon.

Season 4 brought with it a huge number of changes to both Black Ops Cold War and Warzone in one of the biggest content drops yet.

On the multiplayer side of things, there are three new 6v6 maps arriving, with the return of both Hijacked and Rush as well as brand new map Collateral. There are also new modes and operators now live in-game.

In Warzone, on the other hand, there’s a brand new Satellite POI that has destroyed Farmland, as well as a new Payload mode and mysterious Red Doors that allow players to fast-travel across Verdansk. For now, here’s how you can unlock the powerful new Nail Gun weapon to get off on the right foot.
