Would it even need to be a variant? The current platform is carrying heavier weights with tanks.
So far, we've only ever seen MQ-25 flying with a single refueling pod under the port wing. There does not even appear to be a second hardpoint on the starboard side, so an armed version needs that modification at least. Plus whatever wiring and datalinks it needs for the weapon itself, and potentially some onboard ESM sensor for targeting. (It looks like the antennas on this model might be a bit different from the stock MQ-25A, but it's hard to tell.)
