The Krig C Assault Rifle in Black Ops 6: How to Unlock It
The Krig C is the latest assault rifle to join Black Ops 6, and fans can look forward to its powerful return in Season 1, which is shaping up to be one of the franchise’s biggest content updates. With fresh weapons, new multiplayer maps, and Warzone integration, there’s a lot in store for players right from launch. For many, the new weapon offerings, including the Krig C, are the season’s main attraction.
The Krig C makes a comeback from Black Ops Cold War, where it was a dominant choice in the assault rifle class. While the AMES 85 in Black Ops 6 bears some resemblance to the Krig, Season 1 introduces the authentic Krig C. Here’s how to unlock it and start using it in-game.
How to Unlock the Krig C in Black Ops 6
If you’re familiar with recent Call of Duty games, you’ll know that most seasonal weapons require specific unlock steps. However, this year, the process has been adjusted slightly, so even experienced players might benefit from a refresher for Season 1.
The Krig C is available through the Season 1 Battle Pass in Black Ops 6. This Battle Pass includes 100 tiers of content to progress through during the season. Tiers can be unlocked either by purchasing them with COD Points or by earning Battle Pass Tokens, which are accumulated by playing Black Ops 6 or Warzone. Additionally, Vault Edition owners get 20 free tier skips at the beginning of each season.
Fortunately, the Krig C is included in a free tier of the Battle Pass, so players do not need the premium Battle Pass or Vault Edition to unlock it. To obtain it, you’ll need to reach page 6 of the Battle Pass. The Krig C is listed as the “HVT” (High-Value Target) on page 6, meaning you’ll need to unlock all prior content on that page to access the weapon.
Battle Pass Structure in Black Ops 6
This season’s Battle Pass in Black Ops 6 follows a straightforward, linear format, replacing the Tac Map style of the past two years. Each page contains around six content items, and after completing one page, you progress to the next. By reaching tier 100, you complete the Battle Pass for Season 1. Since the Krig C appears on page 6, you’ll need to work through about 30 tiers to unlock it.
Shortcut Option: The Store Bundle
If you’d prefer to bypass the Battle Pass grind, you can purchase a Store Bundle featuring a Krig C blueprint, which unlocks the weapon permanently in Black Ops 6, no matter your Battle Pass tier. Although this costs more than simply progressing through the Battle Pass, it provides instant access.
And there you have it, everything you need to know about unlocking the Krig C in Black Ops 6. For more details on the changes coming to multiplayer and Warzone in Season 1, check out our previous guide.
