The AN-94 assault rifle makes its comeback in Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded. It’s available through the Nick Cage Event Pass, so you only need to earn XP and progress through the event tiers until you reach the AN-94 reward.
The weapon is part of the free reward track, so you won’t need to spend any Call of Duty Points (CP) to unlock it. Here’s how you can unlock the AN-94 AR fast, along with its stats, Prestige Attachment, and Prestige Camos.
How to unlock AN-94 fast in BO7 & Warzone
Since event progression is tied directly to XP earned, the fastest way to unlock the AN-94 is by maximizing your XP gains during the Nick Cage Event.
In BO7, objective-based Multiplayer modes such as Domination and Hardpoint are among the best options because they reward both eliminations and objective play. In Warzone, focusing on Contracts and jumping into Resurgence playlists are among the most effecient ways to grind XP.
Of course, completing daily and weekly challenges can significantly speed up your progress, especially when combined with Double XP Tokens. But if you don’t want to grind, an AN-94 blueprint included in a bundle might become available in the in-game store after the midseason patch drops. Purchasing it will instantly unlock the new AR. If you miss out on unlocking the weapon during the season, it will soon become available via the Armory challenges.
Alongside the AN-94, the free Nick Cage Event Pass track also includes various cosmetics and XP Tokens. Those who purchase the premium track gain access to the Nick Cage operator and his skin, weapon blueprints, and more cosmetic rewards.

The AN-94’s Prestige Attachment, the 15″ MFS Triumvirate Barrel, modifies its signature firing mechanic by increasing the hyperburst shot count from two rounds to three and boosts upper-body damage to make it deadlier in medium-range engagements. However, the attachment introduces a short delay between hyperburst and full-auto firing while also increasing recoil.
How the AN-94 compare to other ARs in BO7 and Warzone
The AN-94 stands out from other assault rifles in Black Ops 7 and Warzone thanks to its signature hyperburst firing mechanic. The weapon fires its first two shots at an accelerated rate before transitioning into a standard full-auto firing pattern, allowing it to deliver a burst of damage faster than most weapon in its class. It also has clean iron sights that make target acquisition easier without requiring an optic attachment, freeing up a slot for other upgrades.
However, the gun comes with slower handling and mobility compared to some of the lighter ARs like the VX Compact, AK-27, and DS20 Mirage. So, those who can consistently take advantage of the hyperburst mechanic and control the weapon’s recoil will likely find the AN-94 to be one of the powerful ARs in the game.
All AN-94 Prestige Camos in BO7 and Warzone
The AN-94 features exclusive Prestige Camos that can be earned through Weapon Prestige progression:
- Prestige 1: Splat
- Prestige 2: Prism
- Prestige Max (Level 250): Abducted (animated)
All Prestige Camos are universal, meaning they can be equipped on other weapons once unlocked. For players who enjoy collecting every cosmetic reward, the AN-94 may be worth leveling up to Prestige Max, as it grants the animated Abducted camo as its final camo.
