Here’s everything you need to know about unlocking the Kar98k in MW3 and Warzone.
What is the Kar98k in MW3 and Warzone?
The Kar98k is a new marksman rifle in season four of MW3, but it’s about as classic of a CoD weapon as it gets. A classic weapon from WW2 games of old, the Kar98k also was a dominant gun in the original Warzone.
In Warzone 1, the Kar98k was a force. It had the ability to down enemies from long range but was especially powerful thanks to its quick handling and powerful damage at mid-range, making it a shoo-in for loadouts in Verdansk everywhere.
The Kar98k was also a mainstay in many WW2 CoD games, along with other FPS titles like PUBG and others. Players are excited for its return in MW3 and the new Warzone with hopes that it will be similarly strong to how it was in previous games.
How to get the Kar98k in MW3 and Warzone
To unlock the Kar98k in MW3 and Warzone, level up the season four battle pass. The Kar98k can be found in Sector Five of the pass, seen here just two sectors away from the starting Sector One.
To get the Kar98k as soon as possible, rank up Sector One and Sector Three to enter into Sector Five. Finish all of the unlocks in Sector Five, and the Kar98k can then be unlocked as the final reward from that sector.
Once unlocked, you can begin leveling the Kar98k in any of MW3 or Warzone’s modes to get all of its attachments for the gunsmith in an effort to bring it back to its heyday.
