How to unlock the GS Magna in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2

A full-auto Desert Eagle? Let's go.

One of the new weapons joining Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 on May 10 with Season Three Reloaded combines the power of one of the game’s best pistols with a full-auto trigger, with the GS Magna offering an additional option to increase your odds of survival at close range.

“This fully automatic .50 GS boasts a thunderous rate of fire and enough power to put an end to anyone foolish enough to cross your path,” the gun’s in-game description reads. “Hold down the trigger and let this .50 Cal speak for itself.”

Fans of the .50 GS and those who have already unlocked all of the attachments for that gun will have a leg up on the competition when it comes to the GS Magna.

“If the X13 Auto is good for mobility and the FTAC Siege’s strength is in versatility, this sidearm is built for raw power,” Activision said. “This weapon uses the exact same cartridge and most attachments as the semi-automatic .50 GS, including the ability to go akimbo and absolutely pulverize enemies at close-range.”

Here’s what you need to do to grab a full-auto Desert Eagle when it drops during Season Three of MW2.
