How to complete Week 1 challenges in BO7 & Warzone Season 4

Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 4 Week 1 challenges are live, and you only need to clear any six to unlock the new Grimhawk special weapon and 10,000 XP.

The Grimhawk is a full-auto rifle that fires low-velocity homing rounds, letting you track moving targets more easily once you get a lock. Every challenge also pays out between 2,500 and 5,000 XP, so you can stack battle pass progress while casually ticking them off across your usual modes.
