Refresh your loadouts in Season 3

Usually, players would have to unlock weapons from behind free tiers that are part of the seasonal battle pass. However, since there’s no battle pass, every weapon making its debut in Season 3 is automatically unlocked.

Here are all the new entries available to find in the gunsmith.

FAMAS (Assault Rifle)

A burst-fire rifle like the M16A4, but with faster aim down sight time, movement, and rate of fire. It is slower to reload, however, and inflicts less hurt per shot.

G36K (Assault Rifle)

Its use of advanced materials marks a jumping off point for the future of weapon design and, along with the G36’s shorter overall length, makes it a highly mobile assault rifle.

M1928 (Submachine Gun)

A hard hitting submachine gun that is heavier and lacks the agility of other submachine guns.

MG5 (Light Machine Gun)

Despite its shorter range and lower ammo capacity than other belt-fed LMGs, the MG5 with its higher rate of fire makes it a powerful and versatile option for those who can master its challenging recoil.

M1A (Marksman Rifle)

An agile warhorse built for medium-range battles, the M1A offers a speedy rate of fire but deals less per-shot damage compared to other marksman rifles.

SRS (Sniper Rifle)

Due to its bullpup design and polymer construction, the SRS is incredibly compact and lightweight, allowing it to have much improved mobility compared to other sniper rifles. At the same time, it maintains devastating stopping power and pinpoint accuracy.

Diceros (Pistol)
