Players who would rather not spend time completing the challenges above can unlock the LAPA in Warzone and Cold War by purchasing the Terrible End bundle in the Call of Duty store.

Purchasing this bundle for 1,200 COD Points will give you access to the LAPA Abnormality blueprint which will allow you to use this new SMG immediately. However, you will still need to unlock the base LAPA in warzone and Cold war to unlock new attachments.
