Black Ops 7 and Warzone players have a new set of weekly objectives to grind, because Season 3 Week 3 challenges are now live.
The headline reward this time is pretty straightforward: complete any six Week 3 challenges and you’ll unlock the 1911 Pistol, along with 10,000 XP. On top of that, each individual challenge also gives between 2,500 and 5,000 XP, so there’s a decent chunk of progression here even if you’re not planning to clear the full list.
That makes this week worth paying attention to, especially if you’re the kind of player who likes squeezing extra XP out of every session.
Why the 1911 matters
The 1911 is described as a semi-auto pistol with high close-range damage, decent recoil control, and a smaller ammo capacity. In simple terms, it sounds like a clean and dependable secondary rather than a gimmick unlock.
That should make it appealing for a lot of different setups. If you play aggressive, it looks like the kind of sidearm that can help you finish close fights fast. If you play slower or more methodically, it still sounds useful as a reliable backup when your main weapon runs dry.
For Malaysian and wider SEA players, that matters because sidearms can end up being a big deal in sweaty lobbies, especially when fights get messy and you need a fast swap instead of a reload. A free weapon unlock tied to normal weekly play is always better than letting it sit there and having to catch up later.
Challenges are split across all modes
One important detail is that the Week 3 challenges are spread across all game modes in BO7 and Warzone. So depending on how you normally play, you may need to move around a bit instead of grinding everything in one playlist.
That’s actually not the worst thing. For players in SEA, where friend groups often jump between multiplayer and Warzone depending on who’s online, this kind of challenge structure can be manageable as long as you’re already rotating modes with your squad.
The upside is that you don’t need to complete every challenge. Since the 1911 only requires six completions, you can focus on the tasks that fit your preferred mode and skip the ones that feel annoying.
When the reset happens
BO7 and Warzone weekly challenges reset every Thursday at 11am CT.
For players in Malaysia and Singapore, that usually means the reset lands around midnight going into Friday, so if you’re planning your grind after work, classes, or late-night sessions with the squad, that’s the timing to watch.
Missed earlier weeks? You still have room
The good news is that missing a week does not automatically ruin your progress. According to the available details, players who fall behind should still get enough chances to complete missed weekly challenges later.
That’s useful for casual players, exam-season students, or anyone juggling other games right now. You don’t need to panic if you skipped a few days. The bigger move is just to start clearing what you can now, stack the XP, and secure the 1911 before your backlog gets worse.
If you’ve been ignoring the weekly system until now, Week 3 is a decent reason to jump back in. A practical pistol unlock, bonus XP, and flexible progress across multiple modes is a solid enough reward loop, especially for players who are already logging matches anyway.
