The Mammoth LMG has arrived as part of the Season 5 update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone. Unlike seasonal weapons included in the Battle Pass, this heavy-hitting machine gun is tied exclusively to the limited-time Machine of War event.
How to Unlock the Mammoth LMG
To acquire the Mammoth LMG, you must participate in the Machine of War event across Black Ops 7 Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, and Warzone. The unlocking process involves the following steps:
- Collect Fuel Cans: While the specific drop rates haven't been confirmed by Activision, Fuel Cans are earned by playing the game modes listed above. Expect them to drop from enemy eliminations and by opening loot caches.
- Exchange for Rewards: Once you have accumulated enough Fuel Cans, you can exchange them for event rewards, including the Mammoth LMG.
If you prefer an alternative method, there is a possibility that a weapon blueprint for the Mammoth will appear in a Season 5 store bundle. Additionally, any players who miss the event can unlock the base weapon via Armory Challenges in the following season.
Weapon Performance and Customization
The Mammoth is designed for sustained fire and long-range encounters rather than speed. It features a reciprocating barrel design that improves recoil control at the cost of handling and mobility. If you find the weapon too sluggish, equipping attachments like the Quickdraw Grip, Light Stock, or Fast Mag can help improve its responsiveness.
Key Weapon Specs
- Levels: 39
- Magazine Size: 50 rounds
- Magazines: 3
- Prestige Attachment: 14" MFS Cascade Barrel
The 14" MFS Cascade Barrel is the standout attachment for this weapon. It eliminates pre-fire delay and movement penalties while firing, and it boosts bullet spread and recoil control. Note that this attachment does increase your ADS (aim down sight) time, requiring a trade-off between accuracy and speed.
Prestige Camos
Players can earn three universal Prestige Camos for the Mammoth LMG, which can be applied to other weapons once unlocked:
- Prestige 1: Sky Rats
- Prestige 2: Database
- Prestige Max (Level 250): Spent
