How to Unlock Saug in Black Ops 6 & Warzone

The Saug SMG is one of the first instances of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 armory being bolstered in the shooter’s year-long cycle. The gun is sure to be another powerful addition to an already-dominant weapon class, and we have all the details on how to unlock it in BLOPS 6.

Black Ops 6 Season 1 is a monumental occasion for Activision’s newest CoD title. Usually, the player base is at its strongest around the first season, and Treyarch understands the assignment. Nuketown was an early inclusion to Black Ops 6—pre-Season One—and things only get bigger and better from here on out.

The first Black Ops 6 seasonal update adds another new weapon in the Krig C, the Ransack game mode, and the focus of today’s article—the Saug SMG.

How to Unlock Saug SMG in Black Ops 6

You unlock the Saug SMG by choosing it as your reward from Page 3 of the Season One Battle Pass in Black Ops 6.

The Season One Battle Pass is the first iteration of the revamped pass format in BLOPS 6. Gone is Modern Warfare’s sector-orientated setup, instead, Black Ops 6 welcomes the “Page” system—explained in a CoD blog. Activision says, “Think of the Battle Pass as a book, with two front pages of Instant Rewards (one BlackCell), then 100 in-game Battle Pass rewards across 14 Pages, and a Completion Page that is instantly unlocked once all other Pages are completed.”

The Saug is one of the Battle Pass’ free tiers—to smartly avoid putting weapons behind paywalls—and you need to earn enough Battle Pass XP to reach Page 3. Here, the Saug awaits you; once unlocked, you can throw it into a loadout, and start leveling the SMG up to earn Mastery Camos.

Furthermore, advance to Page 11 of the seasonal pass, and an exclusive Blueprint can be unlocked to apply to the gun.

What is the Saug SMG in Black Ops 6?

The Saug is described as a “rapid-fire SMG” with top-notch mobility, handling, and a great rate of fire. The Saug’s biggest downside is its “high recoil,” and given the weapon looks like an old-school Uzi, this would be in keeping tradition with the SMG’s history of wildness.

It has 39 Weapon Levels, comes with four Magazines by default, and has Mastery Badges. Moreover, the Saug has lots of possible attachments, meaning, if it’s anything like Black Ops Cold War’s launch Uzi (the Milano 821), prepare to add all the recoil-reducing attachments you can!
