With this Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 Reloaded update, there’s a list of new items, guns, and other goodies you can unlock, fight for, or easily get by other means.

One of your best options, if you want to improve your game, is the HRM-9 submachine gun.

This is a very reliable submachine gun that is very versatile, with plenty of tweaking options for any play style.

How to Unlock the HRM-9 in Multiplayer

To unlock almost all the weapons in the game, you must complete a certain set of challenges. First, you need to make some progress in the battle pass to be able to unlock the weapon itself, and then you must complete the sectors that surround Sector A21.

Here, we will talk about the specific challenges that you must complete to get the HRM-9, rather than all the ones in the sectors around.

  • Get 10 kills while aiming down sights with SMG (MP or Warzone).
  • Get 10 special zombie kills while aiming down sights with SMG (zombies).

Sector Challenge 4: Double Battle Pass XP Token – 30 Minutes

  • Get 10 operator kills in Tac-Stance with SMGs (MP or Warzone).
  • Get 10 special zombies in Tac-Stance with SMGs (zombies).

Additional Methods

There are two easier ways to get this weapon, but you depend on a friend or an enemy for one, and you need to pay for the other.

You could make a successful exfil with the HRM-9 in MW3’s Zombies mode. You need to have a friend with the weapon and have them set it as their insured weapon, then ask them to drop it. You can also kill an enemy that has it and make the exfil with the HRM-9.

You could also buy it directly from the shop. The “Access Denied” bundle includes the Severed Security blueprint for the HMR-9. Additionally, you can get other goodies from this purchase, making it a good deal if you have the 2,000 COD points.

No matter which method you use, this weapon is light, agile, and has very high Tac-Stance accuracy. With the right build, you can make this SMG shine.
