How to Unlock HMR9 SMG in MW3 & Warzone Season 1 Reloaded
So, you are interested in trying the new HMR9 SMG, but you are not sure how to unlock it in MW3? Usually, the new weapons added in-season in Call of Duty games are unlocked via some special challenges or by purchasing special launch bundles with these weapons. However, at the start of Season 1 Reloaded, many players were puzzled that the game doesn’t specify how to unlock the new HMR9 SMG in MW3 and Warzone. Is it through The Boys event? Or maybe some hidden achievement? The answer is actually much simpler. Namely, Activision has added another zone in the Season 1 battle pass. Hence, open the current battle pass and look for the new A21 zone. That’s where you will find the new SMG. However, there are several conditions and challenges:
- You will need to have five battle pass tokens available.
- You will need to complete any adjacent sector: A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 or A6.
- Get 10 Operator or Special Zombie kills while aiming down sights with SMGs
- Get 10 Operator or Special Zombie hipfire kills with SMGs
- Get 10 Operator Headshot or Special Zombie critical kills with SMGs
- Get 10 Operator or Special Zombie Tactical Stance kills with SMGs
- Earn All Sector Rewards
Hence, once you reach these simple requirements, spend your tokens on that sector. Of course, you will also need to complete several challenges within Sector 21. That will unlock the base version of the HMR9 SMG in MW3. Of course, in this way, you will also get the HMR9 in Warzone. So there you have it. Now you know all you need to know. Have fun testing the new gun! Finally, here’s how the developers advise you to use it: “Sporting a high fire rate and excellent handling and mobility, the HMR-9 is the perfect fit for aggressive run-and-gun playstyles.”
