  • Key Update: The 1911 is now live in Black Ops 7 and Warzone, marking its return since its last appearance in Call of Duty: Vanguard.
  • Status: Confirmed
  • Last Verified: April 16, 2026
  • Quick Answer: Players can unlock the 1911 pistol in Black Ops 7 and Warzone through weekly challenges.

The 1911 pistol is back! The classic weapon is now available to unlock in both Black Ops 7 and Warzone. This is a staple in the Call of Duty franchise, as it has appeared multiple times, but it gained a lot of popularity in the first Black Ops, as it was the game's starting pistol for Zombies.

Not only can you unlock it and use it in multiplayer or Warzone, but you can also bring it to Zombies and try out its pack-a-punched version, the Mustang and Sally. Here is a simple guide to help you get it.

How to Unlock the 1911 Pistol in Black Ops 7 and Warzone

To unlock the 1911 in Black Ops 7 and Warzone, you must complete any 6 weekly challenges from Week 3.

Each week, 24 weekly challenges are released, 6 from each major mode (Co-Op Campaign/Endgame, Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone). The best part is that you can mix and match, meaning you can complete only the Warzone challenges to unlock the reward, and it's not required to own the current premium title.

Once you get the weapon, it can be used in any mode, but we recommend you give it a go in Zombies and pack-a-punch it.

Another way to get this pistol is by purchasing a blueprint from the store. However, the weapon's attachments cannot be modified until it's unlocked using the main method explained before.

Once Season 3 ends, players can unlock the pistol through the Armory simply by selecting it and gathering the required XP amount in any mode.
