Unlocking the Marksman Rifle in MW3 and Warzone: A Step-by-Step Guide

Players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone can obtain the Marksman Rifle by finishing Sector 5 in the Season 4 Battle Pass. The pass is divided into sectors, each containing five rewards, and requires players to unlock all rewards in a sector in order to access the neighboring sectors.

Each sector in the Season 4 Battle Pass requires five Battle Token Tier Skips to complete. In order to fully unlock the Marksman Rifle from Sector 1 at the beginning, players will need a total of 15 Battle Token Tier Skips. Since Sector 5 is located near the start of the pass, players can easily progress through Sector 3 to reach the reward group.

To earn Battle Token Tier Skips, players can participate in any multiplayer modes available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, MW3 Zombies, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. XP and additional Tier Skips can be earned by completing games and getting kills, but they can also be purchased individually or as part of the BlackCell Battle Pass Bundle.

The Marksman Rifle can be obtained without purchasing the Season 4 Battle Pass. All players have the opportunity to unlock the weapon for free by progressing through the pass. However, for a 10% XP boost and faster Battle Token Tier Skips, players can opt to purchase the pass for 1,100 COD Points.

The Marksman Rifle can only be obtained through the Season 4 Battle Pass, but will be relocated to the Armory after the season concludes and will have new requirements for acquisition.
