The Desert Eagle but… automatic?

The Desert Eagle has been reworked in MW2 Season 3 reloaded. Now there is an option to have an automatic version. Here's how to best build a loadout for the new GS Magna in MW2 and Warzone 2.

The Desert Eagle is a Call of Duty staple. It has been in numerous CoD games over the years and the distinctive look and feel has made it a consistent popular choice.

For the first time in CoD history, there is now an automatic version of the Desert Eagle. It's call the GS Magna and it is frankly insane.

How to unlock the GS Magna in MW2

Infinity Ward brought the GS Magna to MW2 with the Season 3 Reloaded update. As with all guns that come as DLC weapons, there are some challenges that players need to complete.

Players can get the GS Magna through MW2 multiplayer, Warzone 2 or in DMZ. In DMZ, all you need to do is extract from the mode with the GS Magna in hand. That will fully unlock the weapon to use.

In multiplayer, the way to unlock the GS Magna will take a little longer. You need to get 30 headshots with the .50 GS. That's the standard Desert Eagle in MW2 and Warzone 2.
