In total, Season 1 of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone brings five new weapons to the game. At the very start of Season 1 players received the RAM-7, XRK Stalker, and the Stormender. Each weapon has brought something new to the table and the Season 1 Reloaded update further expands the weapon arsenal.

The HRM-9 is a brand-new SMG for MW3 and Warzone, but it’s hidden in the Battle Pass, so you might be wondering how to get it.

Here’s how to unlock the HRM-9 SMG in Warzone and MW3.

If you’re wondering what the HRM-9 brings to the table, the devs describe it as a “light yet stable 9mm submachine gun for close-quarters combat and putting down enemies quickly.”

The weapon boasts a blistering fire rate alongside top-tier mobility. It’ll be interesting to see where the new SMG fits into the MW3 and Warzone meta once players get time with the Season 1 Reloaded update, as it has the potential to surpass the WSP Swarm that has dominated the battle royale’s close-range meta since the start of Season 1.
