If you’ve been playing Call of Duty for a while, the FFAR probably brings back some memories especially if you dominated lobbies back in the Cold War or early Warzone days. The good news is that the FFAR 1 Assault Rifle is making its comeback in Black Ops 6 and Warzone with the launch of Season 4 on May 29.
It drops alongside other returning weapons like the LC10 SMG and Essex Model 87 Marksman Rifle. So yes, there’s a lot to get excited about in the upcoming Season 4’s Battlepass. If you want this great support rifle for nostalgia or are looking for a solid close-to-mid range rifle, here’s how to unlock the FFAR in Warzone & Black Ops 6 and what to expect once you have it in your loadout.
Where and How to Unlock the FFAR 1 in Black Ops 6 and Warzone
To get the base version of the FFAR 1, you’ll need to unlock Page 6 of the Season 4 Battle Pass. The best thing is it’s completely free for all players. You don’t need to spend money to get the weapon itself; simply grind through the tiers by playing the game and earning tokens.
If you do decide to buy the premium Battle Pass, you’ll also unlock a Blueprint version of the FFAR on Page 11. That one comes as an HVT (High Value Target) reward and even has a BlackCell-exclusive variant for players with the Battle Pass upgrade.
If you didn’t unlock it during Season 4, the FFAR will appear in the Armory once the season wraps up. You’ll likely be able to get it through an XP challenge so you won’t miss out forever. To get a flashy skin with zero grind, a store bundle featuring a custom FFAR Blueprint is expected to drop around the same time as the season launch. Keep an eye on the in-game store if cosmetics are your thing.
FFAR 1 Weapons Overview
If you’re wondering whether it’s worth unlocking this AR, here’s how it performs in-game battles:
- Fully automatic assault rifle
- Extremely high fire rate puts it in SMG territory
- Great for close to mid-range fights
- Solid choice for sniper support
- High recoil especially compared to other ARs
If you loved the old FFAR meta or need something to complement your long-range sniper, this is the gun for you. You’ll want to pair it with attachments that help with recoil control and maybe use larger mags to deal with the fast fire rate. The FFAR 1’s return is a legit pick for fast-paced gunfights in both Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
