In MW2, the battle pass has changed in a big way. Instead of being a linear track of 100 rewards, all of them are placed within a map and unlocked with tokens. Players have some freedom of choice of which regions of the map to unlock first, which is always a great thing.

One of the new weapons in season 01 of MW2 was the Victus XMR, a sniper rifle that is a “hard-hitting, bolt-action” sniper that fires .50 Cal ammunition. “Its tungsten sabot-tipped bullets are fast and powerful, but require precise shots over long distances.”

Here’s how to get season 01’s new sniper rifle to use in MW2 and Warzone 2, even after the season is long over.

In MW2’s new battle pass system, all rewards are tied to specific regions. Unlocking all of the rewards in each region with tokens will unlock that region’s big reward, and allow you to move on to the surrounding regions that are attached to it.

In season one of MW2 and Warzone 2, the Victus XMR was found in the A7 region of the battle pass. This meant players had to unlock all the rewards in A0, A1, A2, A3, and A4 to reach the region as seen in the image above.

Then, players had unlock all four of the rewards within A7 to get access to the Victus XMR. This means players needed a minimum of 20 battle pass tokens to unlock the Victus XMR.

Tokens are earned by playing MW2, Warzone 2, or DMZ games, or they can be bought for CoD Points much like battle pass tier skips of games past.

Now that season one is over, there’s a playable challenge to unlock the sniper rifle.

  • Extract the weapon from DMZ
  • Get 15 sniper rifle headshots

If players find the Victus XMR as ground loot or off of an enemy player in DMZ mode, they can extract it and unlock the gun for usage in all modes. Or, they can head into any mode in Warzone 2 or MW2 and get 15 sniper rifle headshots. Once done, the Victus is available.
