Call of Duty Warzone Reloaded Season 2 update brings tons of new content, including the Armaguerra 43 SMG with multiple ways to unlock it. It’s a big week for Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard players as the Reloaded Mid-Season Update is finally here. The update makes many big changes to the game, including the Rebirth Island map overhaul. Several points of interest on the smaller island map have been changed, including the lesser-used security zone, renamed the Fortress. A new docks area has been added to the map, bringing ships that have docked and contain valuable loot for players to fight.
In addition to Rebirth Island, the Season 2 Reloaded update introduces a new multiplayer mode called Arms Race, new vehicles, and a health boost for Warzone players. Players can also choose the last member of the Task Force Yeti with Gustavo Dos Santos regarding new operators. This closed-quarters specialist has been called up by Activision and appears to prefer the new reloaded weapon from Season 2 called Warm 43.
Players now have access to this unique SMG following the Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard Season 2 Reloaded updates. However, there are a few different ways to unlock it, some easier while others may present a longer challenge even though it’s completely free. Here’s everything gamers need to know.
How to unlock the Armaguerra 43
The Armaguerra 43 submachine gun is described as the fastest firing submachine gun in Vanguard and is effective in close to medium-range engagements. Of course, this weapon’s rate of fire is balanced by high recoil and low damage.
The weapon can be unlocked for free with an in-game challenge in Vanguard, Zombies, or Warzone multiplayer. It can also be purchased with a cosmetic pack, which Activision says will be available later in the season. Bundles are usually made available with the release of a new weapon, but no details have been given on the price or content of upcoming cosmetics for Weapon Wars 43.
You’ll need to win ten hip-shooting kills in a single match 15 times for those who don’t want to spend any money. Naturally, smaller maps like Shipment or Das Haus will make this a lot easier, though players have no way of forcing these maps to appear outside of special playlists dedicated to those maps. Alternatively, Warzone players can try unlocking this via Plunder due to the constant respawns, as a traditional Battle Royale match would make this challenge much harder and longer to complete.
The weapon can also be unlocked through Zombies mode for players who prefer it. Use SMG weapons like Welgun to kill 400 enemies that the player’s Frost Blast has frozen.

What’s Unique about the Armaguerra 43
As described in the blog before the Call of Duty Vanguard Season 2 Reloaded Update, the Warframe 43 SMG comes with the fastest rate of fire in its class. While the weapon also has a better than the average range for rapid-fire weapons, it does have a few drawbacks to balance things out a bit.
That is to say, the Armaguerra 43 has high recoil and low damage, which probably forces players to add attachments to lessen this drawback. Fortunately, the weapon has access to various attachments, meaning players will have plenty of options to customize the weapon to their playstyle better, though certain combinations have made the weapon extremely powerful.
Warzone challenge
For Warzone, the Armaguerra 43 can be unlocked by getting ten hip-fire kills in a single match 15 times. Getting ten hip-fire kills in a single battle royale match might be a bit of a challenge, but this will be best attempted in a respawn mode like Caldera Clash.
Multiplayer challenge
The Warframe 43 can also be unlocked in Vanguard multiplayer by getting ten hipshot kills in a single match 15 times. The fastest way to complete this challenge will be by playing small map playlists like Das Haus 24/7. Also, choosing Hardcore mode could make the challenge easier, as fewer bullets are needed to kill opponents.
Zombies challenge
In Zombies, kill frozen zombies 400 times with a submachine gun. To freeze zombies, you’ll want to equip the Frost Blast artifact to your custom weapon loadout. This unlock method will likely take a few hours to complete, so it’s only recommended if Zombies is your mode of choice.
Again, how you choose to complete this challenge mostly depends on your game mode preference, but the fastest way to unlock Armaguerra 43 for free will be through the Vanguard multiplayer challenge.
In addition to the new machine gun, Season 2 Reloaded also brings a new Vanguard operator, Gustavo Dos Santos, who can be purchased through the in-game store. Warzone’s Mid-Season Update includes a limited-time event and several changes to the Rebirth Island map.
Vanguard Zombies unlock challenge
You can also own the gun in all modes by completing the Armaguerra 43’s dedicated Zombies challenge. This requires that you eliminate 400 frozen zombies with an SMG. That means you’ll need to equip and use the Frost Blast Artifact — which is found in the loadout menu — to freeze zombies before killing them. It is best to use the MP-40 SMG for this challenge, as it is surely the strongest in the category. It should take you two to three matches of Zombies to own the Armaguerra.
