Black Ops 7 Warzone: How To Unlock The Strider 300

Season 3 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone introduces several new weapons, including the Strider 300 sniper rifle. While some guns become available at the start of the season on April 2, others arrive later through limited-time events and mid-season updates.

If you want to add the Strider 300 to your loadouts, you need to know when it becomes available and what steps you must complete to unlock it. This guide outlines what you should expect and how you can secure this new sniper rifle during Season 3.

How to Get the Strider 300 Sniper Rifle in Black Ops 7 and Warzone

You unlock the Strider 300 through a limited-time Season 3 event rather than the Battle Pass. Unlike weapons such as the VST or MK35 ISR, this sniper does not sit behind tier progression. You earn it by completing event-specific objectives.

The required event is called The Lost Outpost. It spans multiple playlists and pushes you to play across the full game.

You must complete challenges in:

• Multiplayer
• Zombies
• Endgame
• Warzone

Each mode features its own objectives tied to event progression. As you advance, you earn cosmetic rewards such as camos, weapon blueprints, and other customization items. The Strider 300 becomes available once you reach its designated milestone.

Treyarch has not confirmed the exact launch date, but the event is expected to go live in the early part of Season 3, likely in early to mid-April. Watch the in-game event tab for activation details and challenge tracking.

If you prefer to skip the event grind, you can unlock the rifle instantly through a store bundle. Purchasing a bundle that includes a Strider 300 blueprint grants immediate access to the weapon. This option requires COD Points, and pricing will depend on the bundle it appears in.
