Weapons Detail:

Tackle the battles ahead with new armaments beginning with a beast of an SMG and a time-honored Assault Rifle before moving on to less conventional weaponry later in the season.

Static-HV (Submachine Gun, Launch, Battle Pass Sector 6)

Levels: 18, Battle Pass Blueprint [Sector 17]

Bring compact lethality to the battlefield with this small SMG chambered in 5.7x28mm. The weapon boasts a high fire rate and significant ammo capacity with a base of 50 rounds in its factory magazine.

Like a bite-sized LMG, the Static-HV keeps on firing through even the thickest of fights. Overwhelm your opponents with a hail of fire and use Gunsmith to specialize in hip-fire, Tac-Stance, or ADS. Try different Ammunition attachments and test out various Muzzle and Barrel combinations to squeeze out the most out of this close quarters needler.

STG (Assault Rifle, Launch, Battle Pass Sector 7)

Levels: 21, Battle Pass Blueprint [Sector 19]

The rifle that heralded the age of the assault rifle as a global standard. Fully automatic and chambered in 7.92x33mm, this is a hard-hitting primary weapon.

That power results in a signature recoil pattern that though noticeable is easily controlled for accurate fire. The weapon’s high-quality iron sights potentially free up an extra attachment slot if you forgo an Optic. Fine tune your playstyle in Gunsmith with attachments like a 60 Round Mag and the recoil-reducing JAK BFB Aftermarket Part. However you build it, its powerful base ensures you'll come out with a reliable weapon.

Spear (Melee Weapon, Mid-Season via BP Sector Unlock and Challenges)

Levels: 6

Fight like the ancients with a throwable Spear built for the demands of modern combat. Three Spears are provided at each spawn; they throw fast and straight, with a reticle provided to account for various distances. Thrown Spears can be retrieved from the environment and at least one should be kept for the weapon’s rapid piercing strikes in close quarters.

Torque 35 (Launcher, Mid-Season, Weekly Challenge)

Levels: 6

Wield a compound bow with 20 retrievable arrows, a red dot sight for accurate shots on target, and a weapon inspection animation that shouldn’t be missed. The bow’s excellent handling allows quick follow-up shots and in close fights the option to fire off the hip keeps you light on your feet. Pull back for longer to increase the strength and velocity of each shot and get creative with an array of Ammunition options including arrowheads equipped with thermite, explosive, and gas cartridges.

Both the Spear and the Torque 35 can pin enemies against the wall, so stick your insertion points accordingly.

Six New Aftermarket Parts [Launch, In-Season, MWIII, MWZ, WZ, WMZ]

Get attached to six new Aftermarket Parts being introduced in Season 5, usually unlockable via Weekly Challenges, like the JAK Cataclysm for the RPK LMG (pictured above).

JAK Widemouth Barrel

Compatibility: MORS Sniper Rifle [MWIII]

A widemouth barrel crafted to accommodate magnetic ball bearings that shatter upon firing, creating a barrage of small and lethal projectiles.

JAK Slash

This underbarrel vertical grip doubles as a combat knife, replacing your melee attack with a lethal slash.

JAK Protean

Compatibility: RAAL LMG

This conversion kit turns the RAAL into a highly adaptable prototype weapon with a telescoping barrel that can be toggled between full-auto and semi-auto fire, offering suppressive fire and precision in the same weapon.

JAK Cataclysm (RPK)

Compatibility: RPK LMG

Command the battlefield with this .50 Cal conversion kit for the RPK. Slow yet powerful with a high-capacity drum mag, this kit is your enemy's nightmare.

JAK Devastators

Compatibility: Reclaimer 18 Shotgun

Dual-wield Reclaimer 18 Shotguns and become a mobile artillery barrage with this Aftermarket Part. Accuracy and recoil control are minimal, but destruction is maximized.

JAK Deathmarch

Compatibility: BAL-27 Assault Rifle

This Aftermarket Part replaces standard ammo with high-voltage power cells and the barrel with a photonic scatter barrel. Fire a spread of lethal laser blasts that take down enemies at short range.

BlackCell and Battle Pass

A veiled phantom haunts the Season 5 BlackCell offering with the introduction of Reckoner, featuring an animated Operator Skin that occasionally reveals the ghoul within. Reckoner is accompanied by other BlackCell Operators Skins within the Battle Pass, boasting spark effects and detailed black and yellow armor.
