With each new season, Call of Duty adds a bunch of new weapons to both Warzone battle royale and whichever multiplayer title is in rotation at the time. While anticipation heats up for MWIII, Modern Warfare 2 is still the mainline game and one of the new weapons coming is the FR Avancer assault rifle. Here’s how to get it.
Season 5 is predicted to be either the final or penultimate season of the Modern Warfare 2 lifecycle, and will even play host to a Call of Duty 2023 reveal event, as the devs show off their latest work and what players should expect in the upcoming title.
That doesn’t mean the update will be lacking in content, though, with not only a bunch of new weapons arriving but new maps — such as Strike from Call of Duty 4 —, modes, and more.
With the Warzone meta ever-shifting, the FR Avancer could come in as one of the best guns in the game, with players hoping for something to challenge the likes of the Cronen Squall. But how do you even get it?

Unlocking the FR Avancer in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 is going to be pretty simple — all you’ll have to do is reach Sector E8 of the Battle Pass.
The FR Avancer is described as follows: “With a blinding fire rate and exceptional maneuverability, in the right hands, this aggressive bullpup rifle can dominate the battlefield.”
A “solid” hip-fire spread also makes the assault rifle viable in short-range engagements. The developers also claimed that the weapon has an “easy to learn” recoil pattern, perfect for short to medium-range gunfights.
Whether or not it does take over Warzone’s best weapons meta remains to be seen, but you’ll no doubt want to get it leveled up at launch, just in case.
