Appearing in the game on October 12th, these are additional free tiers in Warzone and Black Ops: Cold War’s Season 6 Battle Pass.
Specifically, you’ll be unlocking two weapons - the STG 44 and M1 Garand. However, these are not explicitly named as such, since you are only getting Blueprints for the time being.
That said, using them can give you a head start on their unlocks when Vanguard arrives - so if you’re planning on picking up the WW2 shooter, then it’s a good way to hit the ground running.
Currently, as of Warzone Season 4, you can no longer complete this activity.

When you load up the game for the first time from October 12th, additional free tiers throughout the Battle Pass will appear.
As you would with the usual Black Ops: Cold War and Warzone rewards - which are layered underneath these additional rewards, and visible by pressing Up on the controller’s D-pad - you simply have to progress through the Battle Pass to unlock the respective weapons.
Once you have unlocked the weapons, note that they won’t work like traditional weapon unlocks. For now, you can only play the STG 44 and M1 Garand with fixed Blueprints. This means you cannot change attachments or camos.
However, using these weapons now will earn you Weapon XP, which can be used to upgrade those weapons when Vanguard arrives.
Additionally, though the weapons are fixed Blueprints, these Blueprints have a higher-than-average number of attachments - seven to 10 each - to match the new limit you’ll see when Vanguard arrives.
“Think of these Weapon Blueprints as the blueprint for the foundational changes that Vanguard’s integration will provide to Warzone,” Activision explains.
“Through these Weapon Blueprints, you will see what’s possible with the additional attachment slots, and you’ll be able to decide if these Weapon Blueprints fit within your personal meta right now in Season Six.”
Tier 24 - Bonerattler Tier 64 - Warning Track
Note you cannot customise these weapons in the Gunsmith - instead, you must play with these fixed Blueprints until Vanguard arrives in full. Each Blueprint features the following attachments:
