Want to know how to get the BAL-27 in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone? We've got you covered.

The Season 3 Reloaded update for Call of Duty features a wealth of brand-new content, most notably, the BAL-27 which first appeared alongside the BAL-27 in 2014's Advanced Warfare. The BAL-27 dominated the assault rifle and there's a possibility of it doing it once again.

Before we reveal how to get the BAL-27, check out our other guides showcasing all of the MW3 Season 3 perks and how to unlock the Stasis Operator.

How to Get BAL-27 in MW3 and Warzone

The BAL-27 appears in a bonus sector of the Season 3 Battle Pass and requires players to complete five objectives in multiplayer, Warzone, or Zombies. Here's the full list of challenges:

Score 5 headshots or special zombie critical kills with assault rifles
Score 10 kills or special zombie kills while moving with assault rifles
Score 10 hipfire kills or special zombie kills with assault rifles
Score 10 tac stance or special zombie tac stance kills with assault rifles

MW3 and Warzone BAL-27 Overview

Described as a rifle that "shreds at closer ranges," the BAL-27 features a fast rate of fire where the first four shots fire slower than the rest of the magazine to improve accuracy levels.

When firing on all cylinders, there's a strong possibility of it making a significant impact in mid-range engagements in multiplayer and the battle royale.

Is the BAL-27 Meta in MW3 and Warzone?

The BAL-27's rate of fire is bound to prove popular in Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer along with its solid levels of mobility. For multiplayer, we expect it to slot in amongst the stronger weapons in the arsenal.

Taming its recoil will be key to succeeding with the rifle in Warzone. With the right attachments equipped, it could feature in the meta but with plenty of stiff competition, there's always a chance it falls short.
