How do you unlock MX Guardian in MW2 & Warzone 2?

To unlock the MX Guardian in MW2 and Warzone 2, you'll need to complete the classified sector of the Battle Pass. Rather than using tokens to do this, players will have to complete a set of challenges.

Here are all of the challenges you'll need to complete to unlock the MX Guardian in MW2 & WZ2:

  • Dependable Emblem: Get 10 ADS Operator Kills with Shotguns.
  • Gunfire Calling Card: Get 10 Hipfire Operator Kills with Shotguns.
  • Fanning Hutch Loading Screen: Get 10 Headshot Operator Kills with Shotguns.
  • 1-Hour Double Weapon XP Token: Get 10 One Shot Operator Kills with Shotguns.
  • MX Guardian: Earn All Sector Rewards.

So, focus on ticking off all of the challenges in the sector and after all of them are done, you'll be rewarded with the MX Guardian.

According to the blog, these tasks are "designed to help Operators understand the characteristics of this weapon class," so you'll certainly be ready to dominate with the new shotgun when you're done.

How does the MX Guardian perform in MW2 & Warzone 2?

Season 4 Reloaded patch

Based on the description, the MX Guardian is a close-quarter specialist in the shotgun category that deals devastating damage when used face-to-face with a foe.

"If pump and double-action Shotguns are designed for greater range and accuracy, the full-auto MX Guardian is here to dish out damage up close."

We'll have to see how the MX Guardian performs in the Season 4 Reloaded meta and whether it can "usurp the close-range crown" from SMGs like the ISO 45.

So, that's how to unlock the MX Guardian in MW2 & Warzone 2 on July 12 so you're ready to decimate your foes with the new shotgun. Make sure to head over to our dedicated Call of Duty homepage for the latest news and guides.
