In Call of Duty: Black Ops, unlocking weapons is just a matter of leveling up.
As you level up, you’ll slowly unlock different weapons. Also, you don’t lose your unlocked weapons when you Prestige this time either, so you don’t have to worry about unlocking your favorite weapon over and over.
The majority of your starting weapons will come from getting to level 4, which comes pretty fast.
Here are all of the weapons in the game, and what level they unlock at.
