Don’t go underestimating low level players in Call of Duty: WWII, as they might have pre-ordered the game, and “earned” themselves a Weapon Unlock Token (as well as double XP).
A Weapon Unlock Token can be used to “unlock the weapon of your choice.” This means that, even if you’re at level 1, you could choose to unlock a weapon normally inaccessible until level 52.
Weapon Unlock Tokens are usually only given when a player hits Prestige, however in CoD:WWII, you can now skip the grind by pre-ordering.
Here are the details from @CallOfDuty on Twitter:

Sure, weapon balance should mean that weapons unlocked at higher ranks aren’t more powerful, but in previous Call of Duty games, my go-to guns have always been accessed at rank 40 and above.
Speaking of powerful weapons, three new guns have been confirmed via the above trailer. They are the MG42, the FG42, and the Sawn-Off Shotgun.

What do you make of these Call of Duty: WWII pre-order bonuses? And how about those new weapons?
