How to unlock the PPSh-41 and Swiss K31 in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone

Play with these World War II throwbacks.

The Cold War was a long encompassing period of time, so it’s natural that a variety of weapons from across several decades are appearing in the arsenal of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. The launch of Season 3 included the PPSh-41 and Swiss K31, the former which players will recognize from World War II-era games. These two weapons are available to everyone who plays through Black Ops multiplayer and Warzone battle royale matches. Both of them were available on the Season 3 Battle Pass for free, but starting with Season 4, they are only unlockable through buying store bundles with them or through unlock challenges.
