How to equip tracer rounds in Modern Warfare

I recently got the “tracer pack: green” and found that you could not equip green tracers to any other guns ,even though I thought that you could, and that nothing on the “snap dragon” says that the green tracers are equipped even though they appear in game.

level 1

It’s only limited to that blueprint/gun you got sadly.

level 1

You don't 'equip' it. You just use the blueprint that was in the tracer pack. No, you cannot equip it on any other gun.

level 2

Can you customize the weapon after using the blueprint? Say if I wanted to get the green tracer pack but wanted to use a different barrel on the weapon. Can I do that and still have the ability to shoot green shit?

level 2

I thought you could I guess not.

level 1

Haha you thought they would let you enjoy something you purchased on other guns for FREE??!?!?

level 1

The green tracers are only for the blueprints that are in the bundle

level 2

Just don’t use the blueprint version of said gun to unequip the tracers.

level 1

The tracers are unfortunately tied to the blueprint only :(

You might've noticed enemies zapping you down with flashy coloured bullets. Here's how you can get your hands on them with the Purple, Green, Red, Cerise, and Cerulean bundles.

Whilst it doesn't necessarily give you a competitive advantage, tracer rounds look pretty damn cool and make your opponents glow all bright when they hit the deck.

How to unlock tracer rounds in Modern Warfare and Warzone

Tracer rounds don't come free at the moment. They usually show up in the Store section of the game's interface, as part of bundles.

You can access the Store by opening Warzone or Modern Warfare and scrolling to the rightmost tab on the menu with R1.

Only specific weapon blueprints give you the tracer rounds, so you'll have to keep an eye on the store section.

As of late July, the Racing Series Mach 8 is currently available, which includes the Autoclave and Winner's Circle weapon blueprints. These blueprints both have red bullets. Autoclave is a Striker 45 SMG, whilst Winner's Circle is an M19 handgun - the coloured bullets will only work on these specific guns.

Previous bundles to watch out for that could come back are the Nikto Operator Bundle, including a Kilo 141 blueprint named Cerulean, the Tracer Pack: Purple with a Grau 5.56 included, as well as the Tracer Pack Red Bundle, which has a FN SCAR 17 variant called Cerise. Cerulean will shoot blue tracers, whilst Cerise will light up in red. Red Dwarf is also in this bundle, and also lights up red.

The Nikto bundle cost 2400 COD points when it was active, whilst Tracer Packs cost 1600.

Sure, it's behind a paywall, but if you want the flashy stuff, you often need to pay up. Check the 'Just For You' section of the store whenever you can too - you'll find bundles unavailable to a lot of players.

Even without tracer rounds though, you'll be able to pull off flashy plays in Warzone with the help of our guides. Check out the best guns in Warzone to loot off the ground, as well as the best Warzone loadouts to grab from the now-pricy loadout drops.

If you've noticed bright purple emanating from bodies in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" recently, it hasn't been a hallucination.

The game introduced a bundle called "Tracer Pack: Purple" for multiplayer this week that colors gun rounds purple when shot from a specific blueprint. This is the latest in a series of limited time colored round releases during "Modern Warfare."

Here's what to know about the new tracer rounds:

How to get purple tracer rounds in 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare'

Scroll to the store section of the multiplayer or "Warzone" menu (either works), and "Tracer Pack: Purple" should be the first option in the featured section. It costs 1,600 CP to buy the bundle. It comes with two gun blueprints in which you can equip purple arounds, as well as a knife called "Stinging Nettle." There is also a charm of an angry crab — aka "Stabby Crabby — and a calling card of a woman with a thought bubble reading "Da F—!?"

Can you get purple tracer rounds for free?

Nope, unfortunately the only way for players to obtain purple tracer rounds is through the COD store, though it is possible you'll run across the blueprint on the ground in a multiplayer match.

Which guns use purple tracer rounds?

There is one assault rifle blueprint and one submachine gun blueprint in the bundle. The assault rifle with purple tracer rounds is the GRAU 5.56, while the submachine gun is the MP7. Both guns are popular enough that you can expect to see plenty of purple in the coming weeks.

There is no way at this point to equip purple tracer rounds on guns besides the GRAU and MP7.

Do colored rounds provide a competitive advantage?

Not unless you're a big believer in mental advantages. The colored rounds are meant to be cosmetic, but there's something quite satisfying about leaving a small crowd of purple above a fallen enemy that perhaps provides a little emotional boost for players. As they say: look good, feel good.
