The CR-56 AMAX is about to be in your hands inCall of Duty. You either stepped into a time machine, or you’re playing season three ofBlack Ops 6.
One ofWarzone’smost legendary weapons, theCR-56 AMAXis a part of season three, which is all about throwing back to Verdansk as the classic BR map returns along with several quality of life updates to celebrate the free-to-play mode’s fifth birthday.
The CR-56 AMAX was a dominant meta weapon for several seasons back in the day. This time, Activision describes it as a “lightweight 7.62 x 39mm full-auto assault rifle” that is “compact and powerful.” The newest AR in BO6 andWarzoneis “exclusively for military use” and “deadly at mid-range combat and easily configured for a variety of assault tactics.”
“Combining high-damage hits with a fast fire rate and good handling, the CR-56 AMAX is the perfect mid-range weapon for downing targets fast,” Activision said. “Eliminate enemies in three to four shots up to 25 meters out, leaving plenty left over to chew through equipped armor. Quick reloads get you back into the action fast, a helpful trait no matter how you choose to customize the weapon via Gunsmith.”
If this gun is anything like its original counterpart, we may have an all-new meta inBO6andWarzone. Here’s how to get it in your own loadout.
How to get the AMAX in BO6 and Warzone
TheCR-56 AMAX is available in the season three battle passas the high value target (HVT) onpage six, but it will also inevitably be included in a store bundle surrounding season three’s launch.
InBO6battle passes, the HVT is the final reward you can unlock once you have everything else on that page. Work through the pages by gaining battle pass XP by playing the game (and using double battle pass XP tokens if you have them) to earn tokens to unlock rewards.
Once youunlock all of the rewards on page six, you can use another token to unlock the CR-56 AMAX,and it will then become available in your weapons menu under assault rifles. Now it’s time to use those double weapon XP tokens to level it up.
As you level up and work through the battle pass by unlocking individual rewards, you can skip pages once you reach a certain number of items unlocked. Once you can access page six, jump to it immediately and begin unlocking its items so that you can get the CR-56 AMAX as soon as possible because it will be strong.
If you feel like spending some dough, you can also pick up the3,000 CoD Point Tracer Pack: Digital Dreamin’ Mastercraft Bundlefor the Game Over blueprint for the AMAX. Alternatively, you can also get theseason three BlackCell battle pass and use your Instant Page Unlock on page sixto get the AMAX sooner than normal.
Once season three comes to an end, the AMAX will become available to obtain as an Armory Unlock inBO6. To access Armory Unlocks inBO6, navigate toBarracks, selectChallenges, and then selectArmory. Here, you will find any unlocks from past seasons or events that you haven’t obtained yet. Select the CR-56 AMAX (or whichever item you wish to unlock) as your active Armory Challenge and then a set amount of XP to unlock it to add to your collection.
