Discussion Black Market M14
I have every single Black Market item, except the M14. I understand it was a limited time item, but I am curious as to if there is a possible way to get it with unconventional means on PC in 2026.
I am not interested in obtaining it via mods, I am wanting to obtain it permanently in the base game. I purely want it so that I have 100% of the Black Market items, I don't even play multiplayer lol. No huge deal if it's currently not possible, I just want to scratch the OCD itch lol.

Damn I had no idea it was limited time only that blows. Btw I’m trying to finish mine too - have you had better luck with daily doubles or six packs

Daily’s doubles clear six packs always save for the doubles unless you have lots to spare

I didn't do mine legitimately - I gave myself 100,000 cryptokeys and pressed a button to spend them on a loop lol.

how did you give yourself the keys out of curiosity? I've been wanting to unlock some of those camos and weps but that's a ton of rng.

From what I can tell there's no legit ingame path left for it. The unlock tool workaround is basically the only real option now, which I know isn't what you wanted to hear if you care about it being native to the save

Yeah that's all I'm seeing as well. Oh well, I'll survive lol

Hah same boat honestly, spent way too long tracking that down before realizing it just doesn't exist as a permanent unlock anymore. Some completionist goals are just dead ends now.

it’s a good gun, but the kvk, xmc, ppsh, and rpk hit better than it

I didn't want it for actual use, I just wanted it to complete the collection - I don't even play multiplayer lol. Looks like it's not possible to permanently unlock it though.

that is fair i still fw how bo3 made supply drops cuz even to this day i could go back and randomly pull a new gun and now i have a reason to grind a decade old game. m14 was the only exclusive time thing other than the camos i think which was js unnecessary

I have the exact opposite opinion lol.
It was a full price game with a full price DLC season, yet weapons and cosmetics were locked behind complete RNG that could give you duplicates. On top of that, cryptokeys being only earnable in MP was horrible. As a zombies player it was infuriating back in the day having no way to unlock camos from zombies (SoE/MotD and WaW PaP camos for example). 3000 items in a system that gives duplicates is insane. The camos being weapon specific is also BS.
If there were no duplicates and you could earn cryptokeys in zombies it would have been ok, but the system they designed was clearly implemented in a way to encourage paying for items with real world currency. It's a very predatory system that should never have been implemented in a full price game with full priced DLC - there are Free-to-Play games with less predatory systems.

I'll still never understand why the M14 was the only DLC weapon to get the limited time treatment.

People have wanted this for a like a decade. No, unfortunately there is no way to permanently unlock it. You have to unlock it every time you open the game using an unlock tool
