Black Ops 6 Lets Players Pay to Unlock New Event Weapon Early



Key Takeaways

  • A Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 store bundle allows players to pay to unlock the new Sirin 9mm SMG.
  • The weapon can also be unlocked via the Hit List event, but 50 billion community eliminations are needed to unlock the SMG.
  • Fans say it is “sad” that the weapon is locked behind a paywall before the event has come to an end.



Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 now allows players to unlock the new Sirin 9mm submachine gun early by purchasing a bundle via the in-game store. The new weapon was supposed to be the final reward in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6‘s Hit List event, which sees players band together to unlock new rewards by racking up as many eliminations as possible, but fans have been left miffed by Treyarch’s decision to let the community bypass the event and pay to unlock the SMG early.

Treyarch kicked off the new Hit List event in Black Ops 6 and Warzone on November 21 with plenty of rewards up for grabs. Players have until December 5 to unlock a variety of personal and community rewards, with the latter requiring all Black Ops 6 players to band together to reach 50 billion eliminations to unlock the Sirin 9mm SMG. There are plenty of other rewards along the way too, including a new perk, scorestreak, and more. At the time of writing, the community is a long way off from unlocking the new SMG, but that hasn’t stopped Treyarch from including the weapon in a new store bundle.

A deadly new killstreak combination has been discovered in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, one that is just as deadly as it is hilarious.

Black Ops 6 Lets Players Pay to Get New Sirin 9mm SMG Early

Players have already managed to unlock the Shadow Perk and Buffer Weight Stock as part of Black Ops 6‘s Hit List event, but there are still another 30 billion eliminations required to unlock the Sirin 9mm SMG. But, for those who don’t want to wait for the community to unlock the reward, the weapon can now simply be purchased from the Call of Duty store. On November 26, Treyarch released the new Cash Bandit bundle, which includes a variety of cosmetic items and a weapon blueprint for the yet-to-be-released Sirin 9mm SMG. For those unaware, base weapons are permanently unlocked in Black Ops 6 whenever a user owns a blueprint for it, which means the Sirin 9mm can be permanently unlocked before the event milestone is even reached by purchasing the new bundle, which costs 2,800 COD points.


As expected, Black Ops 6 players aren’t happy with Treyarch’s decision to include the weapon in a store bundle. YouTuber JGOD said it is “sad” to gatekeep the weapon behind a paywall until the event is over, while Nick said that “purposely setting the community event super high so it takes forever to achieve and then paywalling a shortcut is the most scummy thing you can do.” Plenty of other players echoed similar comments, with many saying that it “should never” have been included in the bundle.


Unfortunately, this is just the latest controversy surrounding the newest Call of Duty title’s microtransactions. Earlier this week, Treyarch released the highly-anticipated Replacer bundle, which allowed fans to play as the popular character used in Black Ops‘ marketing videos. But players were quickly disappointed by the new Black Ops 6 bundle after it was revealed that the Blackcell Battle Pass must be purchased to unlock the operator’s second variant, meaning the bundle would be double the cost if players wanted to unlock all of its accompanying cosmetics.
