Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 4 Reloaded brings the new XM Guardian Shotgun, a 12-gauge monster set to dominate close-range fights in both games. Here’s how to unlock the MX Guardian Shotgun in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.
Following all of the new arrivals in the Season 4 update, Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 4 Reloaded is set to bring even more content to both games. The mid-season patch is delivering the Diabolical Camo event, as part of the long-awaited crossover with Amazon’s The Boys.
Fans can also look forward to yet another brand-new weapon in the form of the MX Guardian, a fully-auto 12-gauge Shotgun that is trying to “usurp the close-range crown” going forward.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to unlock the MX Guardian in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 4 Reloaded.
How to unlock MX Guardian Shotgun in Warzone 2 & Modern Warfare 2 Season 4 Reloaded
The MX Guardian Shotgun can be unlocked by completing the classified Sector of the Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 4 Battle Pass. Unlike the normal Battle Pass Sectors, which require you to earn Tokens, all the rewards in the classified Sector are tied to a challenge, and the MX Guardian is awarded once all four have been completed.
Check out all the challenges required to unlock the MX Guardian Shotgun below, as mentioned in the Season 4 Reloaded blog:
- Dependable Emblem: Get 10 ADS Operator Kills with Shotguns.
- Gunfire Calling Card: Get 10 Hipfire Operator Kills with Shotguns.
- Fanning Hutch Loading Screen: Get 10 Headshot Operator Kills with Shotguns.
- 1 Hour Double Weapon XP Token: Get 10 One Shot Operator Kills with Shotguns.
- MX Guardian: Earn All Sector Rewards.
The MX Guardian is part of a classified Sector of the Battle Pass.
This area of the Battle Pass has been locked since the start of the season but will become available once Season 4 Reloaded is live.
Although the classified Sector doesn’t currently have a name, it can be found in the middle of D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, and D7, meaning that at least one of these Sectors must be completed before you can start working toward the Guardian MX.
If you’re wondering whether or not the MX Guardian is worth the hassle when it arrives in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, check out the devs’ official description of it:
“If pump and double-action Shotguns are designed for greater range and accuracy, the full-auto MX Guardian is here to dish out damage up close,” said the blog. “Operators who challenge the MX Guardian within its effective range without taking cover should think twice; countering this new tool means getting out of its effective range or going full fisticuffs with a Riot Shield or Melee weapon.”
That was everything you need to know about how to unlock the MX Guardian Shotgun in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 4 Reloaded. We’ll be sure to update this page with more details once the mid-season update goes live.
