MW3 and Warzone: How to Unlock the HMR-9 Submachine Gun

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 1 Reloaded is live on all platforms. With the mid-season update came an abundance of new content, including two fresh weapons which may very well shake up the meta. The fast-firing HMR-9 has joined the battlefields of MW3 and Warzone and before you can add the gun to your loadout, you must unlock it.

Here is how Activision describes the latest weapon to join the submachine gun family. “Sporting a high fire rate and excellent handling and mobility, the HMR-9 is the perfect fit for aggressive run-and-gun playstyles. Aim down sights for precise fire or enter Tac-Stance and run circles around your enemies. Use Gunsmith to enhance the weapon’s midrange capabilities, improve its close-quarters performance, or a combination of the two.”
