How to unlock REV-46 SMG in BO7 & Warzone
The REV‑46 is officially the fastest-firing SMG in its class, clocking in at 1,111 RPM. Its foldable stock makes it incredibly flexible: fold it down for a mobile, hit-and-run approach, or unfold it to improve recoil control for precise hip-fire and ADS shots.
The primary way to unlock the REV‑46 is through the BO7 and Warzone Season 2 Battle Pass, where it’s listed as a High-Value Target (HVT) reward on Page 3. To access it, you must progress through the Battle Pass and unlock all preceding tiers on that page. Once you’ve cleared the required tiers, you can spend a Battle Pass Token to permanently add the REV‑46 to your arsenal.
Once unlocked, the REV‑46 is available across all BO7 Multiplayer, Zombies, Co-Op/Endgame, and Warzone. From there, you can equip it, level it up, and equip it with attachments for your preferred playstyle.
If cosmetics are your thing, the REV‑46 has the “Accendo” blueprint with a BlackCell variant on Battle Pass Page 11. Treyarch is expected to release a store bundle featuring a REV‑46 blueprint as well. Buying the bundle unlocks the base weapon, though you’ll still need to level it to unlock attachments. The bundle is likely to cost over 1,000 CoD Points depending on the included extra items.
Fastest way to unlock REV-46
If you don’t want to grind aimlessly, the best way to unlock the REV-46 quickly is efficient Battle Pass progression. Reaching Page 3 doesn’t take long if you play smart and focus on XP gains rather than just match count.
Daily and weekly challenges should be your priority, as they grant large XP rewards and can quickly push you through tiers. On top of that, focusing on objective-based play, such as capturing points in BO7 Multiplayer and completing contracts in Warzone, significantly boost your XP earnings.
For players who purchased the Premium Battle Pass or the BlackCell edition, you can spend the extra BP Tokens to immediately access Page 3. But even without premium access, playing regularly and completing challenges will get you there quickly.

- Best PC graphics settings
