It's Vanguard's first new marksman rifle since launch.

Season three for Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone has come and gone and it brought more than just Godzilla and King Kong.

Two new guns are joined the games as part of the season three battle pass, the first of which is the first new marksman rifle that’s been added to Vanguard since the game launched last November.

The M1916 is described as “a semi-automatic rifle with a deadly combination of power and fire rate” that is “lethal at any range in the hands of a capable marksman.” It should become a great addition for those who like their semi-auto rifles.

Activision also said that the M1916 “punches like a boxer, offering a large two-hit kill range in Multiplayer before attachments are factored in.” It’s also the preferred weapon of Mateo Hernandez, one of the new operators in the season.

Here’s how to get season three’s newest marksman rifle.

During season three, the M1916 was unlockable at tier 15 of the battle pass. The grind to unlock the gun could have been quickened by purchasing the second option of the pass, which includes 25 tier unlocks. Otherwise, players needed to play Vanguard or Warzone to level up the battle pass and reach tier 15 to gain access to the new weapon.

Now that season three is over, there’s an in-game challenge to unlock the marksman rifle. Here’s how to get it done:

  • Get 10 One Shot One Kill in a single match 15 times.

Pick up your favorite sniper and start aiming for the chest or head. Killing an enemy with one shot will earn you the One Shot One Kill medal. This must be done 10 times in a game for 15 games.
