  • Quick Answer: The new Swordfish A1 marksman rifle can be unlocked in Black Ops 7 and Warzone through a new event.

The Swordfish A1 is now available in Black Ops 7 and Warzone, becoming the last new weapon from Season 2. As some may recall, this weapon was originally introduced in Black Ops 4 and has made its way back in the current titles.

If you want to use it in your next games and see if it handles the same, we have prepared a quick guide on how to unlock it.

How to Unlock the Swordfish A1 in Black Ops 7 and Warzone

To unlock the Swordfish A1 in Black Ops 7 and Warzone, players need to complete the free reward track of the Counter Skies event pass.

The free track can be completed simply by playing and earning experience while the event is active. In other words, you don't need to purchase the premium pass for the event to unlock the new gun.

The Counter Skies event will run for two weeks, ending on April 1, at 9:00 AM PT (5:00 PM GMT).

As a secondary method, the Swordfish can also be unlocked by purchasing a blueprint in the shop. However, this is only a partial unlock, as players won't be able to modify its attachments until after the weapon is unlocked using the main method.

Once the event is over, players can unlock the weapon through the armory after Season 3 kicks off in both games.

All Swordfish A1 Mastery Camos

As always, the Swordfish A1 has its own collection of mastery camos available to unlock. Here is the list, alongside how to get each one:
