New Aftermarket Conversion Kit Makes Call of Duty: MW3 Weapon Shockingly OP

A Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 user has shared a clip that demonstrates the shocking power of the Haymaker shotgun's new JAK Maglift Kit. The aftermarket part was added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as part of the Season 2 update.
Call of Duty's Season 2 update, which dropped on February 7, added an assortment of new features to Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, including seven new aftermarket parts. For those who might be unfamiliar, aftermarket parts are unique and often powerful upgrades that can be added to a weapon. These parts can sometimes change a gun's behavior quite drastically, like the Holger 556's JAK Backsaw Kit, which allows the gun to fire two bullets at the same time from two side-by-side barrels.
One of the aftermarket parts added with Season 2 was the Haymaker's JAK Maglift Kit, which gives the shotgun two major upgrades. First, it implements a binary trigger, which allows the weapon to fire a bullet every time the user presses the trigger and every time the user lets go of the trigger, significantly improving its fire rate. The other major upgrade is its 60-round drum mag, which, combined with the binary trigger, allows the user to output tons of damage on small maps. A Reddit user posted a clip to the Modern Warfare 3 subreddit that showcased the JAK Maglift's exceptional capabilities in the right scenario, as they quickly dispatched a large number of enemies in a short period.
Of course, the strength of this aftermarket part can only be fully utilized on a small map like Meat, which is shown in the clip. Other maps like Shipment, Shoot House, and Stash House are good fits as well, although the rest of Modern Warfare 3's maps might make using the weapon much more challenging. Sledgehammer attempted to balance the JAK Maglift by removing the one-shot capability seen in the base Haymaker, although a two-shot kill can still be quickly fired off thanks to its binary trigger.
The JAK Maglift further improves on Modern Warfare 3's base Haymaker by significantly improving its hipfire spread. These potent upgrades may lead Sledgehammer to nerf the aftermarket part in the near future, but this is only speculation.
On March 6, Modern Warfare 3 adds two new weapons in the Soulrender sword and SOA Subverter battle rifle as part of the Season 2 Reloaded update. The major patch also adds a new remastered map, map variants, modes, 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.
