Season 2 Reloaded for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone 2 has arrived, bringing with it a couple of new cosmetic collaborations, game modes, and weapons. Aside from a melee tool called the Soulrender, which is available via the Battle Pass, players are able to unlock a Battle Rifle, the SOA Subverter.

Activision equipped the SOA Subverter with the “highest rate of fire within its class” and stated that the weapon’s “steady upward recoil is easily manageable,” allowing the Battle Rifle to keep track of targets and rain sustained fire on them with ease. Sounds pretty good at least, huh?

Here’s how to unlock the SOA Subverter in COD MW3 and Warzone Season 2 Reloaded.
