How does the AMR9 play in Advanced Warfare?

RoleFive-round-burst smg
Real-world basisA fictional or substantially redesigned Advanced Warfare submachine gun; no exact production counterpart is asserted
StrengthsIt fires five-round bursts and can use an underbarrel attachment family unusual for its class; The AMR9 has a defined five-round-burst SMG purpose instead of being treated as interchangeable class filler
TradeoffsA missed burst leaves a distinct pause, and the extra attachment possibilities do not replace clean burst placement; The AMR9 still depends on route choice and first-shot discipline in Advanced Warfare's fast Exo-movement fights
Build and setup guidanceBuild for fast entries and readable close-range sights before trying to stretch the weapon across rifle lanes; A mobility or control choice is more useful when it supports the exact flank you plan to run
Challenge noteThe AMR9 uses the smg post-patch challenge profile. Gold is a separate final challenge, then Diamond requires every camouflage challenge on this weapon. Personalization camos and Sentinel do not count.
Progression tipCamo progress is stored on the AMR9. Its Diamond completion counts toward Royalty because it is a camo-eligible launch weapon.
Camo tipCenter the first burst before experimenting with an underbarrel role for the class.
Compared withThe ARX-160 and IMR are burst rifles; the AMR9 compresses a five-round burst into an SMG role.

AMR9 — common questions

What level does the AMR9 unlock at in Advanced Warfare?

The AMR9 unlocks at Level 44 in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare multiplayer. After reaching a rank-gated launch weapon's level, spend one standard Create-a-Class Unlock Token to equip it. The level cap is 50, and prestige is 15 original Prestige levels followed by 15 Master Prestige ranks, ending at Grand Master Prestige.

How do you unlock camos on the AMR9?

Camo progress is per-weapon. Advanced Warfare has fourteen regular challenge camos followed by a separate Gold challenge on each eligible weapon. The post-patch totals vary by class and, within Specials, by MDL, Crossbow and M1 Irons. Complete every weapon challenge including Gold for Diamond; earn Diamond on the required base weapons in a category for Royalty. Heavy Shield has no camo track. M1 Irons has its own final challenge profile, and the twelve later Supply Drop weapons were released only on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. On the AMR9 the final tier is Gold — 200 kills with no attachments. After that, Diamond needs every camo challenge on the weapon done, and Royalty needs Diamond on every camo-eligible launch weapon required in its category.
