The Reclaimer 18 shotgun can be unlocked in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone by completing five specific challenges during Season 4. The new weapon, the challenges for it, and other rewards associated with it can be found in Sector 23 of the Season 4 Battle Pass. The challenges and rewards include:

  • 30 minutes Double XP Token – Get 10 Operator or special Zombie kills with shotguns
  • Angel of Death Large Decal – Get 10 Operator or special Zombie hipfire kills with shotguns
  • Kill Shot Emblem – Get five Operator or special Zombie kills while aiming down sights with shotguns
  • Elegant Riposte Finishing Move – Get seven Operator or special zombie Tac Stance kills with shotguns
  • Reclaimer 18 – Complete all challenges above and get five Operator headshot or special Zombie critical kills with shotguns

Players will need to unlock the adjacent sectors next to Sector 23 in the Battle Pass before the weapon’s challenges become available, which will take five Battle Token Tier Skips to reach the sector. Simply unlock the starting Sector 1 to get access. The tier skips can be earned by playing modes across MW3 multiplayer, MW3 Zombies, and Warzone.

The Season 4 Battle Pass does not need to be purchased to acquire the Reclaimer 18. The weapon is a free unlock once players have access to the sector and complete its challenges. However, buying the pass for at least 1,100 COD Points will give a 10% overall XP boost to earn Battle Token Tier Skips faster.
