To unlock the MX Guardian in Warzone 2 & Modern Warfare 2, you will need to access the classified sector of the Battle Pass. This hidden sector is located in D9 and doesn't require any tokens to unlock. However, you must first complete one of the following sectors: D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, or D7.

The classified sector consists of four challenges that must be finished to unlock the MX Guardian. These challenges revolve around utilizing shotguns in various ways, such as hipfire kills, headshot kills, one-shot kills, and so on.

You're free to use any shotgun you have acquired or purchased in MW2 and Warzone 2; however, we recommend using shotguns that possess high damage and range, like the R9-0 or Origin 12. Let's take a look at each challenge along with their corresponding rewards:

  • Get 10 ADS Operator Kills with Shotguns: Dependable Emblem.
  • Get 10 Hipfire Operator Kills with Shotguns: Gunfire Calling Card.
  • Get 10 Headshot Operator Kills with Shotguns: Fanning Hutch Loading Screen.
  • Get 10 One Shot Operator Kills with Shotguns: 1-Hour Double Weapon XP Token

You can complete these challenges in any order. After completing all the tasks successfully, you'll unlock the MX Guardian shotgun capable of being utilized within your loadouts.

The MX Guardian excels at dealing substantial damage within close proximity – offering an invaluable asset for any combat scenario. Nevertheless, it possesses certain limitations, such as decreased accuracy and significant recoil that require vigilant ammunition management and precise aim execution.
