Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 5 has officially arrived, and it has added a bevy of new content to both the game's standard multiplayer and Warzone. Some of this new content comes in the form of  Modern Warfare Season 5's Battle Pass, which features 100 tiers of unlockable rewards ranging from songs to weapons. One of the new Battle Pass weapons that some players will be particularly excited to earn is the AN-94 Assault Rifle, and fortunately it is not extremely difficult to obtain.
To unlock the AN-94 Assault Rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players must simply reach Tier 31 on the free side of the Battle Pass. This means that any fan that is willing to do a bit of grinding will be able to get the AN-94 during Season 5, and players that want to expedite the process should be on the lookout for Activision to announce any double XP weekends, which are not extremely uncommon, as the season continues.
That said, Modern Warfare players that would rather circumvent the grind for the AN-94, or at least minimize it, can do so by spending some CoD Points. More specifically, fans can purchase the Battle Pass Bundle for 2,400 CoD Points to both get access to all 100 tiers of the Battle Pass and immediately skip 20 of them. These Tier Skips will considerably reduce the amount of time that it takes for players to reach Tier 31 and unlock the AN-94, and that is certainly something that some fans will be interested in doing.
Additionally, players can purchase individual Tier Skips, for 150 CoD Points each, to get even closer to receiving this new weapon in Modern Warfare without any grinding at all. For fans that are considering taking this approach, it is worth mentioning that it actually costs fewer CoD Points to purchase the aforementioned Battle Pass Bundle and an additional 11 Tier Skips than it does to buy 31 individual Tier Skips. Furthermore, the first option unlocks the premium side of the Battle Pass while the second does not.
As indicated by Activision, the AN-94 has a "unique hyperburst feature," which means that the "initial shot of a full-auto volley is followed up by an instantaneous second round before significant recoil is felt." This feature should give the AN-94 the potential to deal some significant damage, though time will tell if it is enough to boost the gun to the top of Modern Warfare's weapons tier list. However, even if this assault rifle does not prove to be one of the best weapons in the game, many fans will still be happy to be able to unlock it at absolutely no cost.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
