How to unlock the Chimera in Warzone 2

At the moment,there’s no way to unlock the Chimera in Warzone 2. Don’t worry, though, because you will have access to the Chimera soon: it’s planned to arrive as part of the Season One content for Warzone 2 and MW2, just not quite yet.

We don’t yet know an exact release date for the Chimera, but credible rumour suggests it’ll be made available sometime in December. When it does arrive, however, it’s thought that it’ll be available either for purchase via the in-game store, orunlockable as part of a gameplay challenge(like theM13Bhas been since launch).

The player in Warzone 2.0 aims at a training dummy with the Chimera ironsights.

Somewhat confusingly, you can get a preview of the Chimera at the Gunsmith and view it when tabbing through the Bruen Ops weapon platform (which it shares with the M13B andBAS-P). You can even try it out in the firing range, but at this point, that’s the only chance you have to play with it in-game.

While you can’t get your hands on the Chimera just yet, there are plenty of gun options in Warzone 2 to keep you occupied until it releases.
