Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warhas an array of guns to choose from. Regardless of whatBlack Ops Cold Wargame modeplayers like, there is one assault rifle that already coveted by players that want to perform in Season 1: the Groza.

Groza Assault Rifle

The Groza Assault Rifle is new to theCoDfamily of guns, and it is a hard-hitting, versatile, mid-distance weapon. While out of the box the gun has a ton of recoil, there are loadouts that allow it to dominate the battlefield; adding the GRU Suppressor and the Spetsnaz Grip will take care of most of the drift. It is pretty weak for long-distance shooting, but makes up for it with pure power and punch. If players are looking for distance, they should look to a sniper rifle like theLw3 Sniper inBlack Ops Cold War.

How to unlock the Groza in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War

Unlocking the Groza

There are two ways to unlockCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’sGroza Assault Rifle and some of the other battle pass weapons. The first will take a whole lot of time, and the second will take an investment of some real-world money. Both involve leveling up the tiers of the battle pass.

Players can work on the Battle Pass by playing matches and doing other in-game activates manually. Once players reach level 31 in the Battle Pass, they will automatically unlock the Groza Assault Rifle. But if players want that gun right now, they are going to have to spend some real money to take this powerful weapon intoBlack Ops Cold War’s next season.

Paying the Way

Impatient players who want the gun right now can unlock it by purchasing levels of the Battle Pass with real money. While the whole Battle Pass costs $150 USD to auto complete, players only have to buy to level 31 to unlock the best weapons. Although if players want to unlock the new weapons, blueprints, operators, other cosmetics, and theRick Roll song, they should just go ahead and just buy the whole pass.

Just for the gun, though, players can buy theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarBattle Pass Bundleand then the next 11 tier levels for just about $37 USD. This will unlock not only the Groza, but the MAC-10 (Tier 15) as well, which is also worth having. Most of the other weapons locked behind tiers don’t unlock until much later, around level 80-90.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S systems.
