The Olympia has arrived in Black Ops 6, so here’s how to use it.
The Olympia has arrived in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone with the Season 4 Reloaded update. Players might remember this shotgun from the original Black Ops, where it dominated at close range with its double barrel damage. In Black Ops 6 and Warzone, the Olympia looks and behaves the same, but it's not quite the weapon you remember from 2010.
When you load into Season 4 Reloaded, you won't have the Olympia unlocked. However, even after you unlock the weapon, you might not know how to equip it on a loadout. Below, you can see how to unlock the Olympia and how to start using it in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
Unlocking the Olympia in Black Ops 6 and Warzone
First off, let's go over how to unlock the Olympia. When you download the Season 4 Reloaded update, you'll immediately be treated to the new Beavis and Butthead event. You're able to purchase a Premium Track for the event for 1,100 COD Points, which gives you access to exclusive content through the event that's not available on the free track.
Fortunately, the Olympia as well as the new Pickaxe melee weapon are both available through the free track, meaning you don't have to spend a dime to unlock either weapon. To unlock the Olympia specifically, you need to complete every challenge in the free track. You can view the challenges for all of the free track rewards by hovering over every piece of unlockable content in the bottom track.
After you have completed every challenge and earned all of the rewards, which includes the Pickaxe, you'll unlock the Olympia in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

Equipping the Olympia in Black Ops 6 and Warzone
As we previously mentioned, the Olympia slightly differs from the shotgun it used to be in the original Black Ops. In that game, the weapon was classified as a shotgun. In Season 4 Reloaded, the Olympia isn't under the shotgun category when you go to equip it in your loadout.
Instead, the Olympia is classified as a "Special" weapon in the loadout menu, which you can access by selecting your secondary slot and scrolling past "Pistols" and "Launchers." It's unclear why the Olympia is classified as a shotgun, but it only offers two attachments for its loadout: a stock and barrel.
This means you can have a secondary shotgun in Black Ops 6 or Warzone, but if you use Overkill, you won't be able to equip the Olympia.
You have 29 days to complete the Beavis and Butthead event track in Season 4. After that, Season 5 will arrive in Black Ops 6 and Warzone, and after that, you'll have to unlock the Olympia through the Armory.
