The Season 1 Reloaded update has been rolled out in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, featuring an exciting crossover with The Boys, the introduction of the new Rio map for multiplayer, and more. One notable addition is the TAQ Evolvere light machine gun, a versatile and advanced multi-caliber LMG capable of firing either 7.62 or 5.56 ammunition. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the various methods to unlock this new weapon.
How to Unlock the TAQ Evolvere LMG
Described as a versatile and advanced multi-caliber LMG, the TAQ Evolvere can be acquired either for free by completing in-game challenges or by purchasing it as part of a cosmetic bundle.
The base version of the TAQ Evolvere can be unlocked by completing any five weekly challenges from the Week 7 challenge list.

Additional Zombies Unlock Method
Alternatively, the TAQ Evolvere can be unlocked through a successful exfil in MW3’s Zombies mode. If a friend already possesses this new weapon, have them set the TAQ Evolvere as their insured weapon and invite them to play with you. They can drop the gun for you to pick up at the start of the match, and then you just need to successfully exfil with the weapon. You might even find this weapon looted from an enemy player during the match. This Zombies unlock method works for any weapon in the game.
Store Bundle
For those who find the challenges too demanding, an option to bypass them entirely and purchase the TAQ Evolvere outright from the shop will be available soon. While a shop bundle for the TAQ Evolvere is not available at launch, it is expected to arrive at a later date.
