Nightsting TAQ-V weapon blueprint: How to unlock in Season 3 of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2

Battle Rifles are a unique weapon class introduced with Modern Warfare 2 and also featured in Warzone 2, walking the fine line between the automatic nature of assault rifles and the lethality of marksman rifles.

Among the handful of battle rifles in the game, the TAQ-V has been the most dominant of them all, and with the Trophy Hunt event, players can unlock a brand new weapon blueprint for this hard-hitter for free.

Called the Nightsting, players must earn 120 Trophies to redeem this weapon blueprint from the Events tab. Trophies can be achieved by playing either Multiplayer, Warzone 2 or DMZ game modes, each with its limit on how many trophies one can earn in a single match.

In Multiplayer, players can earn Trophies by eliminating opponents and looting the Trophies they drop. However, in Warzone 2 and DMZ, players must deposit them at specific stations or win the match (exfil for DMZ) to claim the Trophies.

Fashioned for canted laser aiming, recoil stabilization, and aim-down sight speed, the Nightsting weapon blueprint features a green camo with a giant scorpion symbolic of Valeria and her Las Almas Cartel. The Nightsting weapon blueprint consists of the following attachments:

Featured Attachments:

• Muzzle: TZL-90 V3
• Barrel: 18" Precision-6 Barrel
• Laser: Canted Vibro-Dot 7
• Underbarrel: Demo IMP-44
• Rear Grip: Demo Cleanshot Grip

Muzzle: The TZL-90 V3 is a flash hider that provides added recoil stabilization and steadiness along with muzzle flash concealment.

Barrel: The 18" Precision-6 Barrel is the largest available for the TAQ-V and is responsible for better accuracy at range and enhanced bullet velocity, damage range, and hip-fire accuracy.

Laser: The Canted Vibro-Dot 7 is a powerful green laser that provides superior aiming stability, aiming speed, and sprint-to-fire speed. However, players will only be allowed canted laser aiming, and the laser will always be visible to enemies.

Underbarrel: The Demo IMP-44 is an angled grip under-barrel attachment designed for precision shots and superior recoil control, improving the aiming idle stability, hip fire accuracy, and recoil stabilization.

Rear grip: The Demo Cleanshot Grip is a reliable and minimalist grip from the Demo Weapon Systems designed for faster sprint-to-fire speed and aim-down sight speed.
