Modern Warfare 3 ‘s newest update allows previously banned weapons like the BP50, Holger 556, HRM-9, and others to be equipped in Ranked Play until April 23. Feedback and data will determine whether the weapons remain unbanned. As for balance changes, both MW3 and Warzone saw the same adjustments to six weapons. Slight buffs were applied to the MTZ-556, Holger 556, Striker, and MW2 ‘s M16. A slight nerf was applied to the RAM-9 and a more significant nerf was applied to the WSP Swarm, which had its flinch resistance decreased by 81%. Also, the Haymaker’s JAK Maglift Kit was nerfed in MW3 only and a common bug causing the MORS sniper rifle’s optics to become misaligned was fi
The JAK Protean Kit is an Aftermarket Part available for the RAAL MG, one of the many Carry Forward weapons in Modern Warfare 3 . This nifty Conversion Kit provides an alternative firing mode for the weapon, along with boosting attributes such as damage range, bullet velocity, and recoil control. While handling attributes and headshot damage do take a hit, this Conversion Kit does boost the weapon to the point where it can be viable in certain situati
The JAK Voltstorm is a weekly reward that players can unlock by completing any five of the Week 4 Challenges for Season 6 of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone . These challenges are available in Multiplayer, Zombies, and Battle Royale, making the JAK Voltstorm relatively accessible regardless of what modes players dive into. Aside from unlocking the JAK Voltstorm, each weekly challenge also provides an XP reward, along with bringing players a step closer to unlocking the Drawn And Quartered Ca
Much like in Multiplayer, the RAAL MG significantly reduces player movement speed, and even with a smaller magazine attachment, the reload speed still falls on the slow side. To counter these drawbacks, players can equip Perks that boost both attributes, such as Double Time for increased mobility and Sleight of Hand for faster reloads . Additionally, meta Perks like Tempered and Birdseye can be equipped to help players replate to full armor quicker, along with detecting Ghosted players on the minimap when using a
Treyarch, the studio behind MW3 ‘s Ranked mode, announced earlier this week that Ranked Play would soon begin a test phase to see if additional weapons could be viable in the meta. Before, Ranked Play users almost exclusively equipped weapons like the MCW, Rival-9, and WSP Swarm due to other options being banned or simply not good enough. While a limited selection of weapons isn’t anything new to the competitive Call of Duty scene, it seems that Treyarch is trying to improve on this asp

The PDSW 528 is one of the most standard and best SMGs in Modern Warfare 3 , thanks to its rapid-fire and compact polymer frame. Players can expect great things from the high-velocity ammunition, allowing them to rapidly take out any enemy that might be held up in a close-quarter building. The PDSW 528 may not be perfect when it comes to mid-range , but as a close-range weapon, it can well and truly dominate over the competit
The JAK Protean Kit is a free reward that players can earn by completing any five of the seven available challenges for Week 4 in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone . These challenges can be completed in any of the three major modes: Multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone — making it accessible to all players, regardless of their preferred mode. On top of earning the JAK Protean Kit, working through the Week 4 Challenges also brings players a step closer to unlocking the Chainbreaker Ca
This loadout is designed to significantly boost mobility and handling — two important factors for the fast-paced action in Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer. While recoil control is reduced, the key to making the JAK Protean RAAL MG viable is to switch the weapon to semi-auto mode. Doing so allows for a consistent two-shot kill and, in some cases, a single headshot kill, effectively turning the weapon into a Marksman Rifle with the added benefit of a large magaz

Lightweight and agile, the Rival-9 is built for the sole purpose of clearing rooms, and clearing them quickly. The Rival-9 is yet another SMG with a grand fire rate, and handling on par with the best Assault Rifles in Modern Warfare 3 . Players should try out the Rival-9, especially with its recoil control, allowing players to not only dominate tight spaces and room clears but to hold down the line when it comes to more open spaces. Just try not to out-snipe a sniper with this one in this shorter campaign COD ti

Treyarch, Sledgehammer FPS Games Pro Tips, and the Call of Duty League are excited to share that we will begin a Weapon Evaluation this week after the success of our previous Map Evaluat
This next loadout is tailored specifically for Warzone . While some attachments have been carried over from the previous setup, the focus here falls more toward improving recoil and gun-kick control . Again. the recoil in full-auto mode can be hard to control, but the JAK Protean Kit for the RAAL MG proves pretty efficient in single-fire mode, making it a viable alternative to weapons like the MTZ Interceptor . This setup essentially converts the RAAL MG into a strong, albeit slightly more sluggish, Marksman Rifle alternat
