How to Unlock the CR-56 Amax

The CR-56 AMAX, a highly regarded assault rifle from the Call of Duty series, makes its return in the Season 3 update for Warzone and Black Ops 6. Known for its impact during the peak years of Verdansk, the rifle is reintroduced as part of a celebration of the most memorable weapons that shaped the original game meta.

As players prepare to get their hands on this classic firearm again, they will need to navigate the unlocking process within the game. The re-release of the CR-56 AMAX amidst fellow legends like the Kilo 141 and the HDR brings a sense of nostalgia, yet it remains to be seen if it will reclaim its dominance in the 2025 iteration of the game.

Unlocking the CR-56 AMAX in Warzone and Black Ops 6

The CR-56 AMAX is a coveted assault rifle available through the Season 3 Battle Pass in Warzone and Black Ops 6. Positioned on Page 11, this weapon becomes accessible upon completing all preceding tiers on that page. Players can progress through the tiers in any sequence, provided each one is unlocked.

Unlock Steps:

1. Battle Pass Progression:
   • Acquire Battle Pass Tokens by playing matches.
   • Purchase additional tokens using COD Points for faster access.
2. BlackCell Upgrade:
   • Consider the $30 BlackCell version of the Battle Pass.
   • It includes exclusive cosmetics and grants 25 free tier skips, which help approach Page 11 more swiftly than standard leveling.

For those seeking a simpler method, the in-game store will feature a bundle with a blueprint of the CR-56 AMAX. Although pricing and contents remain unspecified, this bundle provides a guaranteed path to the weapon.

A notable aspect of unlocking for Black Ops 6 players is the ability to start progressing as soon as Season 3 launches at 9 am PT on April 2. Warzone enthusiasts, however, need to wait until 9 am PT on April 3 due to server preparations for the new Verdansk map. This day of downtime on April 2 ensures that Warzone is optimized for the update.
