The EM2 joins an already stacked assault rifle class, and whether it will be able to compete with the likes of the Krig 6 or AK47 remains to be seen.

The EM2 will be pretty easy to unlock, too. As it’s a Battle Pass weapon, you won’t have to fight through hordes of opponents, get a certain number of multi-kills or play through a particular number of matches to unlock it.

Instead, you’ll be able to start using the new AR once you hitTier 15 of the Season 5 Battle Pass. If you spend a bit extra to get the tier skip version of the Battle Pass, you’ll unlock it straight away, but if you buy the regular one it shouldn’t take too long to grind up either.
