Added in the Season 2 Reloaded update, the SOA Subverter is a new battle rifle based on the real-world ARX-200. Though this is the first time this particular weapon has appeared in Call of Duty, the ARX-160, an older variant of the same gun, appeared in both Ghosts and Advanced Warfare.
This heavy-duty rifle features a slow fire rate but packs a mean punch. While certainly not a jack-of-all-trades primary the SOA Subverter is still one of the best weapons so you’ll want to unlock it as soon as possible.
How to get SOA Subverter in MW3 & Warzone
You can unlock the SOA Subverter by completing any 5 Weekly Challenges from Week 5. Once Season 2 Reloaded ends it will instead be available as an Armory unlock.
There are a total of 21 challenges across multiplayer, zombies, and Warzone, and completing any 5 of them will unlock the new battle rifle. These challenges also grant substantial experience helping you level up faster.
The SOA Subverter can be unlocked by completing enough weekly challenges.
As for what you can expect from the SOA Subverter, the new battle rifle is a powerful weapon that chambers 7.62 and offers a devastating TTK as long as you don’t miss any shots. However, its low fire rate can make it less forgiving than some other weapons so it won’t be for everyone.
Though the SOA Subverter was the only new firearm introduced in Season 2 Reloaded, the mid-season update also saw the Soulrender added bringing with it a unique melee weapon that can rapidly slash down enemy players.
