How to unlock Nikita AVT in Vanguard & Warzone

The brand-new Nikita AVT Assault Rifle will be available for free at Tier 31 of the Vanguard and Warzone Pacific Season 3 Battle Pass.

Players can level up the Battle Pass and unlock the Nikita AVT through Modern Warfare, Black Ops Cold War, Vanguard, or Warzone, but the weapon will only be available for use in Warzone and Vanguard.

Further, as this weapon is free, players won’t need to buy the Battle Pass to unlock the weapon, and once the season is over, players will be able to unlock the gun through a challenge.

This weapon could definitely be one to watch out for when it comes to the Season 3 meta, as in the Season 3 blog the devs describe the Nikita AVT as “accurate and reliable with best-in-class fire rate,” which can “exceed in CQC (close quarters combat) or long-range combat scenarios.”
