How To Unlock

The HDR will be available to unlock & use Day 1 of Season 3 in Black Ops 6 & Warzone. Here are the different methods you can use to unlock the HDR & find the perfect vantage point to scope out your enemies:

Battle Pass Page

You’ll be able to unlock the base version of the HDR through the Battle Pass on Page 3. It will be the HVT reward of the page. In order to claim it, you’ll have to earn all of the other rewards first, then it will become accessible.

Battle Pass Page 11

The second method to earn the HDR is through Page 11 of the Battle Pass. There will be a blueprint of the HDR you can unlock using Battle Pass tokens. Surprisingly it’s not an HVT reward like the base version of the weapon is. With the blueprint unlocked from Page 11, you’ll have permanent use of the weapon, even if the base weapon isn’t unlocked.

Armory

If you’re unable to complete the Battle Pass, or the page containing the base HDR you’ll likely be able to earn it through the armory once Season 3 ends. This usually happens with base weapons if players don’t earn the weapon within the season.
