How to unlock Maelstorm in Black Ops 6 & Warzone

As a seasoned Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone veteran, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming Maelstorm Shotgun! With its rapid-fire capabilities, I envision it being an absolute game changer in close-quarters combat.

In the upcoming Season 1 for both Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, a fresh shotgun called the Maelstrom will be introduced. This weapon seems particularly potent in tight combat situations due to its rapid-fire capabilities.

In the upcoming Season 1 update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, learn how to obtain the freshly introduced Maelstorm Shotgun.

How to get Maelstorm in BO6 & Warzone

The specific conditions needed to open the Maelstorm in Black Ops 6 and Warzone haven’t been clearly stated yet, but it appears that using a Shotgun could potentially be a prize for an upcoming event that will be introduced during the mid-season update, as per the official Call of Duty blog.

It’s likely that the mid-season update will fall around December 12, 2024. That’s because the season is roughly eight weeks long and this date is right smack in the middle, halfway between its start on November 14 and a potential end date of January 9. However, keep in mind that this is just an educated guess. In the past, Call of Duty seasons have sometimes been slightly shorter or longer than expected.

To obtain the gun, players might need to accomplish a task or advance along a rewards system. As soon as we confirm the specific unlock conditions and event particulars, we’ll promptly share all the necessary information in this article.

Maelstorm details

Black Ops 6 Maelstorm is a fully automatic shotgun that comes with three magazines, each holding ten shots. It advances through 34 weapon levels to unlock various attachments such as optics, muzzles, barrels, underbarrels, magazines, grips, stocks, lasers, and fire modifications.

The Maelstorm may not be strong initially, but its rapid, fully automatic firing compensates significantly. To effectively use this weapon, you’ll need to get close to your target since it has high recoil and a wide spread. However, within its effective range, it can become incredibly destructive.

In summary, that’s everything we know at present about the upcoming Maelstorm Shotgun in Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 1. By the way, two fresh weapons – Saug and Krig C – are set to appear in the new season’s Battle Pass, allowing you instant access to them.
