The FR 5.56 World Ender blueprint is available for free in Warzone and MW3, but you need to complete certain challenges to acquire it. However, not all challenges are currently available, so you won't be able to get your hands on this blueprint at the moment. This blueprint is the final reward for the ongoing Critical Countdown event.

This limited-time event began with the launch of Season 4 on May 29, 2024, and will last until June 26, 2024. This article outlines how you can unlock the FR 5.56 World Ender blueprint for free in Warzone and MW3.

To unlock the FR 5.56 World Ender blueprint for free, you need to complete all Mastery Challenges available in the Critical Countdown event. The event features four Mastery Challenges, but currently, only two: Ade (blue) and Cyto (orange) are available. The remaining two will become available later.

The event requires you to collect DNA samples from fallen foes or allies in MW3 and MW Zombies, as well as from loot caches in Warzone.

You can participate in this event by playing any mode of your choice. All enemies or allies will drop their DNA samples upon defeat, just walk over them to collect them. Once you collect enough DNA samples, you will complete all four Mastery Challenges and earn the final reward, which is the World Ender blueprint for the FR 5.56 assault rifle.

Additionally, each Mastery Challenge offers various rewards after you reach the required DNA sample milestones. Here is the list of all the rewards you can earn in the Critical Countdown event in Warzone and MW3 by collecting DNA samples:
