How to unlock the EX1 in Warzone & Vanguard
The EX1 will be available for players at tier 15 of the Season 5 Warzone and Vanguard Battle Pass. The new weapon will be a free unlock for all players, whether they purchased the Battle Pass or not.
The other free weapon available via the Season 5 Battle Pass is the RA 225 SMG.
For those familiar with EM1 from Advanced Warfare, the EX1 will be an energy Assault Rifle with unlimited ammo and an overheat mechanic which acts as a reload. It will also have an extremely fast fire rate with mediocre damage output.
According to the Call of Duty blog, the EX1 is “effective at long range,” and will also have “options for every scenario.” There are various attachments for the EX1 that can alter its behavior, turning it into a burst weapon with the “Burst Barrel,” or a sniper with the “Charge Sniper Barrel.”
