This partnership introduces two of Christensen Arms’ most celebrated hunting rifles to the game, offering players an authentic and premium shooting experience. Both rifles are available now in Way of the Hunter, bringing Christensen Arms’ signature performance and innovation to virtual hunting enthusiasts worldwide.

Watch the new trailer here:

Founded in 1995 by world-class mechanical engineer Roland Christensen, Christensen Arms revolutionized the industry by using patented aerospace technology to create the world’s first carbon fiber rifle barrel. Nearly three decades later, the company continues to set new standards for lightweight, precision-engineered firearms that blend innovation, performance, and craftsmanship.

Modern Hunting Rifle
Tradition Redefined Crafted for the modern hunter who values both form and function, the Modern Hunting Rifle (MHR) blends cutting-edge technology with classic design. Built upon an aluminum mini chassis with V-block bedding, it delivers the accuracy potential of a chassis rifle while retaining the ergonomics of a traditional hunting firearm. Whether pursuing game in the wild or hitting targets at the range, the MHR provides a perfect balance of innovation, performance, and timeless appeal.

Caliber: 7mm Rem Mag

Modern Precision Rifle
Precision Without Compromise Born from tactical roots and built for real-world performance, the Modern Precision Rifle (MPR) is the ultimate crossover rifle. Its folding, adjustable chassis and free-floating carbon fiber barrel provide exceptional stability and precision in any environment. Threaded and suppressor-ready, with a full-length M-LOK handguard, the MPR is engineered for accuracy, whether striking steel at 1,000 yards or tracking elk at 400.

Caliber: .338 Lapua Magnum

The Christensen Arms Pack DLC is available now for PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S at an SRP of €2.99 / $2.99. The base game is required to play the DLC.
