A remake of the Black Ops 1 map WMD is set to become available alongside a new assault rifle, the Vargo 52, which can also be used in Warzone once it’s unlocked. The update will be available in Black Ops Cold War on March 4.

Activision described the Vargo 52 as a full-auto AR with “good damage at mid-range with a fast fire rate” and “improved muzzle velocity and reliable handling for steady firing control.”

There are challenges that need to be completed to gain full access to the Vargo 52. There’s one each for multiplayer and Zombies, so players of either mode can find a way to grab the gun. Here’s what you need to do.
