The H4 Blixen debuted in Mid-Season 3 / 2022 for Call of Duty: Warzone and has impressed critics since day one. Experts immediately see the submachine gun in the weapon meta and sometimes even directly as the best SMG. MeinMMO provides tips for unlocking, showcases a strong setup, and gives an assessment of the weapon.
What kind of weapon is this? The H4 Blixen is an SMG with great versatility that fits very well in Call of Duty: Warzone. With its attachments, strong setups can be built for close combat, but also sniper support setups with a little more range.
However, the submachine gun from Mid-Season 3 is not a laser; it comes with a bit of recoil character. This allows the weapon to do slightly more damage, and the balance between damage and recoil is at a very good point.
As a result, the H4 Blixen shoots straight to the top of the weapon meta right after its release – even though it is somewhat broken and has to be unlocked first. MeinMMO shows you a strong setup and gives tips for unlocking.

After the numerous weapon changes in Mid-Season 3, the old meta weapons lost ground, and the newcomer H4 Blixen rises right to the top among close combat weapons.
The new submachine gun delivers strong damage and high mobility. However, the H4 comes with a noticeable recoil that can be well controlled with some practice.
Compared to the Owen Gun or Type 100, the recoil is higher, but you have more damage and mobility.
Note: Shortly after its release, the H4 Blixen is a bit buggy. The animations sometimes get stuck, causing you to lose time. The developers are working on the issue, but even with the bugs, the SMG is very strong.
CoD Warzone: Unlocking the H4 Blixen
To unlock the submachine gun, there are currently 3 options:
- CoD Vanguard: Multiplayer: 3 kills while sliding in 15 different matches (Vanguard)
- CoD Vanguard: Zombies: Eliminate 50 Zaballa enemies with an SMG
- Modern Warfare: 3 kills while sliding in 15 matches
Players have found out that you can even unlock the SMG in CoD MW 2019. You don’t even need to use an SMG. Start “Shipment” when it is active and slide with a shotgun through the container map.
After the 3 kills, you can leave the match and start the next round immediately. Progress can then only be checked in Warzone.
