Helldivers 2 players have been getting reinforcements in the fight against the Automatons and Terminids for quite a while now, but we've not really had anything of real substance since mechs dropped at the start of March, and they're pretty fragile at the best of time. Helldivers have been itching for firepower, and the recent leaks surrounding APCs are making fans antsy.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Leaks Reveal 2 Classic Weapons Could Be Returning
03.04.2024 - 23:41 / gamerant.com / John DiCarlo
A dataminer has found files hinting that the Kar98k sniper rifle and SPAS-12 shotgun may be returning to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 soon. Although some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 fans find the two weapons to be synonymous with the franchise, neither one has made an appearance in years.
Throughout its history of more than two decades, Call of Duty has featured a wide range of iconic weapons that are remembered for both bad reasons and good. The Kar98k, a WWII German bolt-action rifle, rose to popularity in Call of Duty 2 when the sniper was widely regarded as the best option in its class. The SPAS was first seen in Modern Warfare 2 (2009) and became a fan-favorite shotgun choice. Both weapons were featured in numerousCall of Duty titles, but the Kar98k hasn't been since Vanguard, and the SPAS has been missing since Black Ops Cold War.
Call of Duty dataminer BobNetworkUK, who recently leaked Modern Warfare 3's unreleased parkour map, claimed to find files that reference new, codenamed weapons like the «kappa98» and «spapa12.» After BobNetworkUK's reveal gained traction, some speculated that these codenames are in reference to the Kar98k and SPAS-12. If this speculation is accurate, these weapons will possibly be added in a future Modern Warfare 3 update. Other codenamed weapons that the dataminer found include the «pcharlie9,» which is speculated to be the PC9 Carbine or P90, and the «kpappa50,» which is possibly the Keltec P50.
The two classic weapons would make for solid headliners in a future Modern Warfare 3 battle pass. Call of Duty's recent Season 3 update introduced the FJX Horus SMG and MORS sniper rifle, which can be unlocked by progressing through certain tiers in the new pass. Free-to-play users shouldn't be frustrated by this, as Call of Duty's newest DLC weapons are always available in the free tiers of each battle pass.
Leading up to Vanguard's 2021 release, fans also got to utilize the Kar98k in a previous iteration of Warzone where it was classified as a marksman rifle instead of a sniper. The potential Modern Warfare 3 version of the weapon would probably be quite similar to the Warzone edition, which proved to be pretty popular in the earlier days of Call of Duty's battle royale.
Warzone received plenty of new content as part of Call of Duty's Season 3 update on April 3. Users can now try out the revamped Rebirth Island map, Climb & Punishment Gulag Public Event, multiple new features like Smart Displays, and more.
Released in November of 2023, Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023) continues Captain Price's story from the 2019 and 2022 games.
