How to unlock ABR A1 in Warzone and Black Ops 6

Warzone and Black Ops 6 Season 5 introduces a new assault rifle called the ABR A1. The name is different, but veteran players will recognize it as the AUG, one of the most popular weapons in the series. In this version, the rifle functions as a burst-fire weapon in its base form, offering strong handling and solid power, making it a potential meta choice in the game.

Players who prefer a fully automatic option can unlock a specific fire mod that converts the weapon into an automatic rifle. This version trades some damage for improved reliability in close-range combat. Meanwhile, the burst-fire setup is considered more effective in Warzone matches.

This article will cover how to unlock the ABR A1 assault rifle in Warzone and Black Ops 6 Season 5.

How to get the ABR A1 in Warzone and Black Ops 6

The ABR A1 assault rifle can be unlocked as a free reward through the Warzone and Black Ops 6 Season 5 Battle Pass. It is listed as a High Value Target (HVT) reward on Page 6 of the Battle Pass.

In case you're new to the Battle Pass system, here’s a quick overview. The Pass is structured into multiple pages, each containing several tiered rewards and one HVT reward. The HVT acts as the ultimate reward for that specific page. To unlock it, you must first claim all the other rewards on that page.

In this case, the ABR A1 is the HVT on Page 6, and it’s free for all players, regardless of whether you have purchased the Battle Pass or not. As long as you complete all the tiers on Page 6, you’ll be able to get your hands on the assault rifle.

About the ABR A1 assault rifle in Warzone and Black Ops 6

The ABR A1 assault rifle features a three-round burst fire mode in its base version, offering solid power and excellent handling. While the weapon's recoil does require some practice, it's primarily vertical, making it relatively easy to control with a bit of experience.

The burst fire performance is exceptional, so quick that it almost feels like a fully automatic weapon, with only a minimal pause between bursts. Thanks to its high damage output and great handling, the ABR A1 excels in medium-range engagements.

This weapon is also highly versatile. With the right attachment setup, it can become a lethal option capable of holding its own in nearly any combat scenario. As you level up the gun, you’ll unlock a specific fire mod that allows you to convert it into a fully automatic rifle. Additionally, the base version comes equipped with an integrated scope, giving players an added advantage from the start.
