You're fighting for your life inside a killer thriller tonight.

Want to know how to get the new Warzone LAPA SMG. Call of Duty: Warzone's The Haunting Halloween event is now live and there's a shiny new weapon to get your hands on: the LAPA SMG. We'll need to do some more testing to see if it'll make our best Warzone SMGs list, but let's see how you can get it for now.

There is a lot to be getting on with over the next few weeks in The Haunting, including chasing enemies as Ghosts. You'll want to keep an eye on your Fear Meter, though, as your Operator will experience badly-animated hallucinations if you spend too much time camping or taking damage. With all that in mind, let's take a look at how to get your hands on the Warzone LAPA SMG.

The Haunting Halloween event runs until November 2, so you've got a few weeks to get the LAPA SMG. In theory, getting it is pretty straightforward: complete all nine The Haunting challenges. Simple, right?

Some of these challenges are obviously more difficult than others and you'll earn rewards like charms, stickers, and calling cards along the way. Some of the challenges require you to play in a squad, so team up with a few pals rather than jump in with randoms for the best chance of success.

There are nine challenges to complete in total if you want to earn the LAPA SMG before November 2, so let's take a look at what you'll be doing and, more importantly, what rewards you'll get.

Once that's over and done with, you'll be able to use the LAPA SMG in multiplayer and Warzone.
