Season 3 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone kicks into full gear with the return of fan-favorite content, from the debut of beloved maps to the arrival of nostalgic weaponry. While the highlight of Season 3 is undoubtedly the long-awaited re-release of Verdansk, Black Ops 6 also sees the debut of past battlegrounds with the debut of Firing Range.
Map remasters are far from the only thing players can enjoy, as fans of Modern Warfare 2019 can look forward to unlocking a vast arsenal of iconic weapons, from the Kilo 141 Assault Rifle to the HDR Sniper Rifle. The Grau 5.56 also makes its highly requested return, only not in the form many might expect, as it is actually a Conversion Kit for the SWAT 5.56—one which players can get via a certain strategy.

How To Unlock The Grau Conversion For The SWAT 5.56 In Black Ops 6 & Warzone
The SWAT 5.56 Grau Conversion is a free reward within the Season 3 Battle Pass. Players looking to get it for free can do so by spending their Battle Pass Tokens on it on Page 5. Alternatively, if players have the Auto Spend feature enabled in their Token Bank, they simply need to earn XP to progress through the Battle Pass, earning the SWAT 5.56 Grau Conversion for free passively.
For those looking to get ahead, owners of the Season 3 BlackCell Pass or Battle Pass Bundle can utilize their 20 Tier Skips to make unlocking the SWAT 5.56 Grau Conversion easier. BlackCell Pass owners specifically can also unlock access to a page of their choosing to begin unlocking rewards using their Tier Skips or Tokens early. The Battle Pass Bundle for Season 3 costs 2,400 COD Points, whereas the BlackCell Pass costs $29.99.
Once Season 3 ends—currently expected on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 9 AM PT—the SWAT 5.56 Grau Conversion moves over to the Armory for those who do not unlock it through the Battle Pass.
How Good Is The SWAT 5.56 Grau Conversion?
The SWAT 5.56 Grau Conversion is a Fire Mod made exclusively for the SWAT 5.56, which, once equipped, converts the usual burst-fire Marksman Rifle into the fully automatic Grau 5.56 Assault Rifle. When applied to the weapon, the SWAT 5.56 Grau Conversion boosts movement speed, reduces recoil, and unlocks an exclusive Full-Auto Extended Mag that holds 50 rounds. However, this does come at the cost of damage range, base damage, and increased recoil gun kick.
