How do I unlock the new weapons? 3 of the 5 new weapons will be unlocked via the Battle Pass. You don’t even have to buy the Season 1 Battle Pass for that: all Battle Pass weapons are free. You just need to level up the Battle Pass enough to unlock the weapons.

The Katana will be unlocked through a challenge. At a yet unknown later point in Season 1, the Welgun submachine gun will also be available.

Can I miss the weapons? Season 1 lasts 8 weeks. If you can’t level up the Battle Pass sufficiently during that time, there will be a special challenge for unlocking each weapon after the season.
