Call of Duty Warzone 2 is set to receive a brand new weapon called the M13C Assault Rifle. The gun was announced to be launching “in-season” during the Season 5 update and not during the launch of the patch itself. The FR Avancer and Carrack were the only weapons that were released with the seasonal update alongside the battle pass.

Warzone 2 features a list of different challenges that players can participate in and claim attractive rewards. The M13C seems to be affiliated with the grand reveal event for Modern Warfare 3 called Shadow Siege. A set of conditions need to be completed before the player base can utilize the weapon in an online lobby.

This article will highlight the best way to unlock the M13C in Warzone 2 and MW2.


Best method to unlock the M13C in Warzone 2

Call of Duty Warzone 2 is a tactical shooter. It requires fresh weapons in the arsenal in the form of playable content. The M13C is described as a capable medium-range weapon and utilizes .300 BLK ammunition by default. It is related to the previously introduced M13B and can be used as the primary weapon or as a sniper support secondary.

Currently, the weapon is featured only in the Shadow Siege reveal event. Here is how you can unlock this gun in the battle royale and utilize it for different class setups.

  • Log in to the game when the Shadow Siege event begins, and unlock the M13C in your account by killing five Juggernaut units that spawn at Zaya Observatory.
  • You can then head over to the weapons tab to access this gun and level it up to unlock new attachments.

In the Shadow Siege event, players will have to destroy the bunker underneath the Zaya Observatory by bombing it with eight missiles. These missiles are spread throughout the map and have to be captured and launched at the Observatory by the entire lobby. Once the missiles hit the target, the bunker underneath Zaya will crack open.

Players will then have to transport chemical canisters from the bunker to a helicopter for extraction. During this phase, the game will spawn Juggernauts and heavy helicopters. Once 45 chemical canisters have been loaded on the helicopter, the extraction process will start and the match will end.

The Shadow Siege event will provide various rewards, including an Emblem, a Calling Card, and even a Vehicle skin, among others.

The M13C would expand the Assault Rifle class further and could create a new meta. The developers could gain more data about the weapon’s performance in the online lobbies.

Fans can actively take part in the upcoming Shadow Siege event to claim the gun and also enjoy the grand Modern Warfare 3 reveal event which is currently live in-game.


Easily unlocking the M13C from the Shadow Siege event in Warzone 2

Although killing five Juggernaut units during the event will unlock the M13C for the players, there is also a different way, which will require less effort. Rather than killing 5 Juggernauts, players can also destroy one of the many heavy combat choppers that spawn during the chemical extraction phase to unlock the M13C.
