Season 3 of Call of Duty Warzone and Black Ops Cold War brings many new features, including new weapons like the UGR submachine gun. The addition of Godzilla and King Kong gets the headlines, but these new weapons will be more valuable to players. This new weapon came as a surprise to players over the past weekend.
The UGR SMG is a fully-automatic submachine gun that fires 5.56mm steel darts with moderate bullet velocity. It is described as a short-range powerhouse or a mid-range precision tool. The weapon is different from other SMGs in Call of Duty Warzone and Black Ops Cold War, making it so valuable to players.
The UGR SMG can be unlocked in three different game modes across both Call of Duty Warzone and Black Ops Cold War. The three game modes are Warzone, Black Ops Cold War multiplayer, and Black Ops Cold War zombies. Below are methods of unlocking the UGR SMG in each game mode.
Unlocking The UGR SMG In Warzone & Cold War
Players can start by unlocking the UGR SMG in Call of Duty Warzone or Black Ops Cold War multiplayer by completing a challenge. The challenge requires players to get a kill from an SMG when an enemy is revealed by the players' Spy Plane, UAV, or Field Mic-in 15 different matches. It is important to remember that the match must be completed for the challenge progression to count. The player cannot get this kill early in a match and then quit the game.
Getting these kills for this challenge will be easy. However, needing to complete 15 total matches may be time-consuming. The Nuketown 24/7 or Face Off 6v6 playlists will likely be the quickest way to complete this challenge, as matches on these small maps in Black Ops Cold War are usually brief.
Another method for unlocking the UGR SMG is playing Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War zombies and completing a challenge. The challenge requires the player to eliminate 1,000 enemies using an Epic rarity or better SMG. This may seem like many kills, but it should not take too long if players already have earned the permanent weapon rarity upgrade.
Finally, players looking to skip the time consumption can purchase the UGR SMG in a store bundle. The Lazar Operator Bundle can be purchased for 2,400 CoD points ($20 USD), which includes the blueprints to this Warzone weapon along with a new operator, assault rifle blueprint, a finishing move, a watch, a charm, a calling card, an emblem, a reticle, and a gesture. An overall nice bundle and a quick way to unlock the UGR SMG in Call of Duty Warzone and Black Ops Cold War.
Warzone is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
