How do you unlock the WA2000?

The WA2000 unlocks at Level 10 in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is a six-round semi-automatic sniper rifle built for measured follow-up shots. It sits between the Dragunov's larger magazine and the PSG1's classified precision role, rewarding players who let the scope return before firing again.

How does the WA2000 play in Black Ops 1?

Also written asWA 2000
RoleSix-round controlled semi-auto sniper
Real-world basisGerman Walther WA 2000 bullpup sniper rifle
StrengthsQuick follow-up capability without a bolt cycle; Compact bullpup profile and a full sniper attachment menu
TradeoffsSix rounds provide less correction room than the Dragunov's ten; Rapid shots can move the scope before the target is reacquired
Attachments and setupExtended Mags, ACOG, Infrared Scope, Suppressor and Variable Zoom are available; Extended Mags supports repeated corrections; Variable Zoom is useful only when the map truly needs multiple magnifications
Challenge noteBO1 weapon challenges are separate from camouflage. Camos are bought per eligible primary with earned CoD Points rather than unlocked through a weapon challenge.
Camo tipFire, reacquire and then fire again. The semi-auto action is an opportunity for a correction shot, not a reason to spam the scope empty.
Compared withIt is the middle semi-auto option: fewer rounds than the Dragunov, no class-buyout requirement like the PSG1, and faster follow-up than the L96A1.

WA2000 — common questions

What level does the WA2000 unlock at in Black Ops 1?

The WA2000 unlocks at Level 10 in Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer. It then costs 2,000 CoD Points. The level cap is 50, and prestige is up to 15.

How do camos work on the WA2000?

Camos here are bought, not earned: every standard camo costs 250 CoD Points per weapon once camo purchases unlock at level 22, with no challenges or headshots attached. Gold is the exception — it unlocks for purchase at 14th Prestige and costs 50,000 CoD Points per weapon. These are earned multiplayer CoD Points from BO1's economy, not the premium COD Points used in newer games. Each camo is bought per weapon, so buying one for the WA2000 only unlocks it there.
