The weapon, which is often abbreviated to Kar98k, is a German bolt-action rifle and one that has appeared in each and every Call of Duty game that takes place during World War II.

After it was rumored the gun would be returning for MW3 and Warzone, we can now confirm it will drop during Season 4.

How to unlock the Kar98k in MW3 & Warzone

To unlock the Kar98k in Warzone and MW3 you’ll need to unlock and complete Sector 5 of the Season 4 Battle Pass. 

Once this is completed, the gun will be free to unlock and use — no additional work or payment is required other than completing Sector 5 of the Battle Pass.

While the Kar98k only has five rounds and can be slow to reload, the devs have reassured fans that its power and accuracy will still be one of the best in the game.

They explained in a new post that the iconic rifle is still one of the “hardest-hitting and most accurate long-range” rifles and offers “fast ADS speed, massive damage, limited flinch, and rapid takedown potential” from any distance.

And there you have it folks! Everything you need to know about getting your hands on the Kar98k when it goes live during Season 4 of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.
