How to use the Armory in Warzone and Black Ops 6

If you've missed out on past weapons, gear, or cosmetics in Call of Duty: Warzone or Black Ops 6, the Armory might just be your best friend. This feature gives players a second shot at unlocking items from older seasons without relying on crates, luck, or tight time windows. Instead, it's all about your own gameplay and earned XP.

Whether you're a casual grinder or a seasoned prestige hunter, the Armory helps you work at your own pace.

Everything you need to know about the Armory in Black Ops 6

The Armory is a progression-based unlock system that lets you target and earn specific content through gameplay challenges. From weapons and perks to cosmetics and even items from previous Battle Passes, it puts control back in the player's hands. No more worrying about limited-time windows or missing out on powerful blueprints. If you want something, you can unlock it just by playing.

At its core, the Armory assigns each item an XP requirement. Complete the associated XP challenge, and you’ll permanently unlock that item.

Accessing the Armory is easy, but it’s slightly tucked away if you’re not actively looking for it. Here’s how to get there:

• From the main menu, open the Barracks tab.
• Another option is to click the six-square icon, which is typically found in the upper-right corner of the screen.
• Navigate to the Challenges section.
• Select Armory.

This menu acts as your central hub for unlocking items across Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, Zombies, and also integrates with Warzone.

The process of how the Armory works is pretty straightforward, and thankfully, there’s no grind lost between switching items:

1. Choose an Unlock – Scroll through the Armory and pick what you want to work toward.
2. Activate the Challenge – Only one XP challenge can be active at a time.
3. Play Matches – All XP you earn in Multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone counts toward the challenge.
4. Unlock the Item – Once you meet the XP goal, the item is yours for good.

Your progress is saved even if you pause one item and go to another. You can always return to it later without losing a single point of XP.

In past Call of Duty titles, missing a Battle Pass or limited-time event meant missing out for good. The Armory changes that. Whether you're a returning player or someone who simply didn’t have time to grind a full season, the Armory makes progression more forgiving and far more player-focused.
