A new Call of Duty season has arrived, and as usual, the spotlight is on the weapons.

Here’s everything you need to know about the fresh arsenal coming in BO6 Season Three.
Overview of New Weapons in BO6 Season Three
Season Three introduces a total of six new weapons: two assault rifles, one sniper rifle, one SMG, one melee weapon, and one special weapon.
Kilo 141 Assault Rifle
- Weapon Type: Assault Rifle
- Description: A fully automatic rifle featuring an ergonomic design for improved handling, making it easier to stay on target with a steady fire rate.
- How to Acquire: Available as a Warzone login reward.
This legendary Warzone gun is a free unlock for players who log in during the initial 24-hour downtime post-launch of Season Three.
“The Kilo 141 is set to dominate in multiplayer and Call of Duty: Warzone,” stated Activision. “With its smooth handling, manageable recoil, and consistent fire rate, this weapon will excel in multiple combat scenarios, justifying its status as a favorite in Verdansk. Now that Verdansk has returned, players can relive the glory days with this formidable primary weapon.”
CR-56 AMAX Assault Rifle
- Weapon Type: Assault Rifle
- Description: A lightweight 7.62 x 39mm full-auto assault rifle, compact yet deadly, perfect for mid-range engagements.
- How to Acquire: Found in the Season 3 Battle Pass on Page 6.
This dynamic AR from Warzone past can be unlocked via the battle pass, featuring a unique blueprint.
“Combining high-damage output with a rapid fire rate and excellent handling, the CR-56 AMAX is the ideal mid-range weapon for swiftly defeating enemies,” noted Activision. “A three to four shot elimination within 25 meters ensures it can effectively handle armored opponents. Quick reloads help players quickly rejoin the fight, regardless of customization via Gunsmith.”
HDR Sniper Rifle

“Fans of Verdansk understand the SDR’s might and the chaos it unleashes from elevated positions,” emphasized Activision. “Its long-range reach and significant damage make it a sharpshooter favorite; the iconic sound of its shots can send opponents scrambling. Adding the Reinforced Barrel enhances damage range and bullet velocity while keeping steady aim is crucial during high-pressure situations.”
Kali Sticks Melee Weapon

One of the two guns introduced mid-season, the Ladra SMG excels in close combat scenarios.
“This SMG may have lower damage, but its blistering fire rate compensates, making it effective even in mid-range confrontations due to reduced recoil,” stated Activision. “Consider pairing it with an Extended Mag to minimize reloads, and aim for headshots to maximize damage. It works well with Scavenger and Assault Pack perks to ensure sufficient ammo reserves.”
Nail Gun Special Weapon
