This method requires grinding through the Battle Pass levels, but the reward of wielding the MG42 is certainly worth the effort.

Fool's Gold Premium Pass and Mythic Draw

The premium route to acquiring the MG42 offers additional customization options. Upgrading to the Fool's Gold Premium Pass grants access to a unique "Rubble Maker" blueprint for the MG42, featuring a distinct visual style.
