How to unlock the Nikita AVT in Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone

A new high-fire rate assault rifle joined the fray in Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone as part of season three.

The Nikita AVT assault rifle is unlockable with the onset of season three, Classified Arms, and it’s become a solid option in both games at its outset. With its fire rate, it can be kitted as either a mid-range or close-range option.

Activision describes the Nikita as “accurate and reliable with best-in-class fire rate, this assault rifle can be outfitted to exceed in CQC or long-range combat scenarios.” The Nikita will be what you make of it in the Gunsmith.

“This spits out rounds at the highest rate of fire in the Assault Rifle category,” Activision said. “In response, it’s got a fair kick, moving up in a jagged line through sustained fire.”

Here’s how to unlock the Nikita in both CoD games.

How to unlock the Nikita AVT in Vanguard and Warzone

The Nikita AVT was originally unlockable at tier 31 of the season three battle pass. The grind to unlock the gun could be shortened by purchasing the second variant of the battle pass, which includes 25 tier unlocks. Other than that, players needed to play Vanguard or Warzone to level up the battle pass and reach tier 31 to gain access to the new gun.

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

• Get 10 Kills while moving in a single match 15 times.

This can be done while moving and hip-firing at the same time, or by using the Gung Ho weapon proficiency to fire while sprinting. Make sure to finish each of the 15 matches before leaving for progress to count towards the challenge.
