XR-3 ION Sniper

How do you unlock the XR-3 ION?
The XR-3 Ion is a three-round burst sniper rifle in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's launch roster. Sources describe it as having high power and low recoil but slower handling and a short pre-fire delay, along with the ability to steady while aiming down sights, making it a controlled, precision-oriented pick rather than a quickscoping weapon.
