The RAAL MG has remained something of a mystery for several months in Call of Duty: Warzone. A blueprint variant of this hard-hitting LMG appeared for just a few days during February 2021, but was never seen again.
The RAAL is a Modern Warfare gun, but could soon be coming to Warzone for Season 5 of the Black Ops Cold War cycle, along with another currently sidelined gun that also appeared at the same time as the RAAL, the CX-9 submachine gun. Warzone developer Raven Software teased half way through Season 4 that a “long-awaited” gun would soon be released, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see it added at some point in Season 5.
If it still performs anything like it did in those few days it was available to players, then the RAAL could certainly be a contender as one of the best Warzone guns, thanks to its huge magazine and very high damage output.
Here’s everything we know about the RAAL in Warzone so far.
RAAL MG Warzone release date
The RAAL MG has no official release date for Warzone just yet, but there’s a very good chance it will finally appear in Season 5, which kicks off in mid August.
This is due to Raven’s teaser that a “long-awaited” weapon would be joining the Warzone arsenal soon, which could be in reference to the RAAL, the CX-9, or both.
RAAL MG Warzone unlock
To get the RAAL MG in Warzone when it finally releases, you’ll likely have to complete an unlock challenge, or purchase a blueprint variant from the store.
While this could well change by the time it releases, we have seen some criteria for the RAAL MG unlock challenge during Season 2 when it was accidentally put into the game.
This was the RAAL MG unlock challenge for Modern Warfare and Warzone:
“Get five kills in seven different matches while using LMGs equipped with Scout Optics.”
If you’d rather not wait to complete the unlock challenge, there is a good chance that a RAAL blueprint will appear in the Warzone store soon after its release.
RAAL MG Warzone blueprint
We already know of one RAAL MG blueprint in Warzone, which is called Rook. This blueprint was the one appearing in loot crates during a short spell of Season 2, alongside a blueprint of the other unreleased Modern Warfare gun, the CX-9.
That’s all we know about Warzone’s mysterious LMG, the RAAL. If you also want to learn more about its also unreleased counterpart, check out our CX-9 Warzone release date guide.
