With a charitable dose of 'new' in both the multiplayer and, free to play, Warzone areas of the game. This guide will be focused on unlocking the 'Lonely Lagoon', a legendary AX-50 blueprint, new to the game.
Unfortunately for those not privy to Call of Duty: Warzone, it looks like this gun can ONLY be unlocked by playing the battle royal. Players looking to expand their arsenal will have to pull their shoot and drop into Verdansk. With a little bit of luck, the following steps will quickly (and hopefully safely) guide Snipers to finding the latest edition to long-range gunfights.
How to Unlock the 'Lonely Lagoon' AX-50 Sniper Rifle in Call of Duty: Warzone
Contracts are probably the most important part of a successful game of Warzone. money means kill streaks, money is everything in this game. However, there is now a hidden bonus to completing the contracts scattered around the map, and that's the 'Lonely Lagoon'. Keep in mind, the 'Lonely Lagoon' contract is not guaranteed. It is randomly generated and could happen after the completion of any contract. Once players open the last scavenger box, secure the recon or kill their bounty, a bright blue box labeled 'Contraband' has the chance of appearing. Picking up this box will immediately trigger a new contract where players must deliver the package to a drop zone. Unfortunately, this drop zone will spawn some 400+ yards away. A Trophy System-Rigged vehicle will prove to make this journey shorter and safer.
Once at the drop zone, players will see a bright circle on the ground, and be prompted to call in a helicopter. This is very similar to the drop zones in Plunder. However, this helicopter is slow, loud, and visible. There will be a thirty-second window before players can continue. So hide, watch your back, and don't get killed. (If you die with the contraband it CAN be picked up and completed by another team.) The helicopter will lower a bag to the ground. Anybody can run up and deliver the contraband to complete the contract. Congratulations! Completion of this hidden contract makes players the proud owner of the 'Lonely Lagoon' AX-50 Sniper Rifle for use in both Warzone and Multiplayer.
Base Attachments for the 'Lonely Lagoon' AX-50 Sniper Rifle
- 17.0" Factory Barrel - Faster ADS, penalty to range/accuracy
- Tac Laser - Faster ADS, added stability and walking steadiness, laser visible to enemies
- Variable Zoom Scope - Switch between 5x zoom and 12x zoom, glint visible to enemies

While 'Lonely Lagoon' can technically be built without the blueprint itself, unlocking it allows players to wield a beautifully painted blue/purple sniper rifle. So add and switch attachments as one seems fit. Players will still be able to flaunt the 'Lonely Lagoon' paint job in the killcams of the 'One Shot, One Kills' left in its wake.
