In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, there are 3 guns that you cannot use in Battle Royale Warzone, even though both games share the weapons. Currently, you can, however, find the RAAL LMG and the MP CX-9 with some luck and benefit from their great strength.
The era of Modern Warfare is long over, yet new weapons from Call of Duty 2019 are stirring up some dust in Battle Royale Warzone.
Since the start of Season 2 of Cold War, you have pretty good chances of finding two fresh weapons in Warzone that have come “new” from CoD MW to Battle Royale. Both are really strong, but only available with luck.
CX-9 and RAAL LMG shouldn’t actually exist
What kind of weapons are these? These are the Light Machine Gun RAAL LMG and the submachine gun CX-9. Both weapons can be unlocked and used in the cooperative survival mode of Modern Warfare. You can even level them up and unlock attachments here.
However, that does not apply to Warzone. In Battle Royale, the weapons have never officially appeared, even though they have been usable in the survival mode since December 2020.
How can I still use them? You can currently find the powerful firearms as ground loot in Battle Royale. There have been reports some time ago that at least the RAAL LMG could be found in Warzone as ground loot, but since the start of Season 2, players are seeing the weapons more often.
Therefore, a bit of luck is required to get your hands on the two latecomers from CoD MW. Both weapons can be found as orange, legendary blueprints, bringing some attachments with them.
Both weapons belong directly to the top tier
Are they really that strong? Now that so many players assume that the weapons will be completely added to Warzone, the Warzone weapons expert “Truegamedata” has been looking into the values of the firearms. Both weapons come with an pleasantly vertical recoil, and their Time-to-Kill (TTK) is impressive:
The LMG has an “Open-Bolt-Delay”, meaning it fires 50 milliseconds after you pull the trigger. Nevertheless, this stable piece of equipment is on par with one of the strongest all-round weapons in the game, the CR-56 AMAX. The RAAL combines heavy damage with high stability – the basic recipe for meta weapons in Warzone. While the LMG is slow and may not offer the crucial mobility in Warzone, fans of weapons with high stability, range, and damage could find the RAAL to be a real powerhouse.
The CX-9 is very similar regarding SMGs. In the TTK comparison, the SMG lands just behind the MP5 from Modern Warfare. If you add the “Open-Bolt-Delay” of the MAC-10 of 50 milliseconds to the TTK of the popular MP, the CX-9 is even stronger with chest hits than the currently most used MP. Additionally, the CX-9 comes with a higher range and is very stable. This weapon would also be directly in our list of the best weapons in Warzone.

Weapon release remains unclear
Will the weapons come for loadouts in Warzone? You can’t really say for sure right now. While there are indications of a Season 7 in Modern Warfare and a release in this context is possible, the weapons might only come for CoD MW, if at all. Currently, it is rather unlikely that the guns will come to Warzone. The impressive stats, combined with their outstanding stability, would likely be too strong for the Battle Royale.
However, now that blueprints of the guns are regularly found as ground loot in Warzone, the release rumor persists, and “Truegamedata” would also be happy to cruise through Verdansk with the powerful weapons.
You mentioned there are 3 weapons. Which one is the third? The third weapon in the bunch is the Sykov. This is a pistol that is also known from the survival mode and sometimes available as ground loot in Warzone. The release of this firearm is still uncertain – however, the Sykov would also be far too strong for Warzone.
