Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War unveiled two new weapons headed to the in-game armor. The Groza assault rifle and MAC-10 SMG are both dangerous weapons that players will soon be fielding in their multiplayer and battle royale conflicts.

Season 1 has started in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and it’s giving fans new operators, modes, maps, and weapons. Players will see that early in the Season 1 battle pass is the MAC-10 available for free to players whether or not they have the battle pass this season. To claim the weapon, players must reach tier 15 in the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War battle pass. Once the tier is reached, the weapon will automatically unlock and be added to each player’s armory.

The MAC-10 is a quick-firing SMG that will be available in both Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. The weapon has a reputation for being a bullet hose, as its high recoil makes it an uncontrollable tool for mid-range and long-range combat. Despite this, players with the right attachments can harness the fire speed of this weapon and make it a lethal close-combat option for tight-knit maps and fast swap opportunities.

Quickly Unlock The MAC-10

As with any battle pass system, there are some shortcuts that can grant players access to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War season 1 content early. One obvious solution is to buy the battle pass bundle for 2,400 CP, which will instantly unlock the first 20 tiers. Alternatively, players can buy individual tiers for a lesser price.

Still, there are methods of progressing the battle pass that will not cost real money. Players hoping to speed through the pass should keep informed about future promotional events, check their daily bundles, and actively participate in double XP weekends. By staying vigilant and active among the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War community, players can quickly rise through the ranks and earn the MAC-10, among other rewards.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
