Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 5’s FR Avancer Assault Rifle can be unlocked for free by completing the E8 Sector of the Season 5 Battle Pass which goes live on August 2.

The FR Avancer is a “fast-firing bullpup rifle” with “a blinding fire rate and exceptional maneuverability” that’s described as a “midrange behemoth that can neutralize targets quickly within a few dozen meters.”

The FFAR was a dominant Sniper Support weapon in the original Warzone, so expect it to fill that role once again when it arrives with the Season 5 update.
