Unique weapons in the Blackout Mode in Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Guide and Tips
Last update: 22 October 2018
When playing the Blackout mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 you can find 4 unique weapons. You can't say they're the best there is, but some players will love them. Their main disadvantage is that they cannot be modified.
Unique weapons can be found as a drop from defeated zombies. You will find these weapons on the map near the blue pillars of light, which contain mystery boxes and zombies defending them. These weapons can also be found in the boxes themselves, which are described in more detail in the chapter above. Occasionally you may also find single zombies wandering around buildings, but this is rare.
Golden weapons
Gold weapons are not unique, but they deserve to be mentioned. These are usually ordinary weapons that you can find in the game, but they are equipped with all the modifications available for the given weapon. Therefore, if you find a gold weapon that suits you, it's worth holding to it: numerous accessories improve its stability parameters, optics, power, firing speed or ammo capacity. They can be found in many areas on the map; you will often find one on top of the Lighthouse.
Alien Blaster
The Alien Blaster is a powerful pistol, which apart from its high power is characterized by a spectacular appearance. It fires green projectiles, which unfortunately head for their target slowly, so it is only suitable for very short distance combat. An additional disadvantage of this weapon is a limited magazine of just 20 shots - you will not find additional magazines on the map unless you find a second blaster. Together with the MP40 they are very rare.
MP-40
A German weapon from World War II - the MP-40. This submachine gun is usually found in mystery boxes. It has a lot of power, but it is only effective on short and medium distances. It uses regular 9mm ammunition, which is commonplace and has a magazine with 32 shots.
Zweihander
The Zweihander is a light machine gun. It is large in size, solid and has a good fire rate. Its disadvantage is limited accuracy; it is good for covering firing and shooting at large targets (like a small building where enemies or vehicles are hidden). The large bullet spread is not a big problem at short distance battles. It has a magazine capacity of 75 7.62mm bullets.
Essex Model 07
The Essex Model 07 semi-automatic rifle is a pretty good mid-to long range weapon, although the lack of optics makes precise aiming somewhat difficult. Deals large amounts of damage and has a high accuracy. Uses standard 7.62mm ammunition, but the magazine holds only 5 rounds. This is the most common of the unique weapons. You will find them more often after killing a zombie than inside a mystery box.
