The Armory system returns inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6. Originally introduced in Modern Warfare 3 (2023), the Armory acts as a collection of past seasonal rewards that you can earn at your own pace. Players who missed out on past battle passes or limited-time events can still gain access to any gameplay-altering unlocks from those reward sources.
If you missed out on a strong perk or weapon, the Armory system will let you catch up with the rest of the community without much hassle. This short guide explains how the Armory system works, how to access it, and answers some common questions surrounding the system.
What Are Armory Unlocks?
Armory unlocks is a system that allows you tounlock any previous seasonal weapon, field upgrade, perk, wildcard, aftermarket part, or scorestreak.At the end of each season, every item added in the retiring season will be added to the Armory roster. Players can then select which Armory unlocks they wish to pursue. Any XP you earn will contribute towards your currently selected Armory item.
Only one Armory unlock may be tracked at a time. Switching your current Armory challenge doesnotwipe progress.
It’s worth noting that the Armory includes event unlocks as well, not just items in the battle pass. For example, if a weapon conversion kit is tied to a short-term event you couldn’t play, you can get that item through Armory unlocks once the event is over.Armory unlocks never expire or rotate out of the game.
