All New Weapons and Parts in COD MW3: Warzone Season 3

The developer added three brand-new weapons to Warzone Season 3, including 1 SMG, 1 sniper rifle, and 1 melee weapon. Here they are:

  • FJX Horus Submachine Gun, an ultra-compact SMG with the top CQC damage and mobility, is available via Battle Pass Sector 8.
  • MORS Sniper Rifle, a brand-new single-load railgun with high bullet velocity and penetration, is available via Battle Pass Sector 4.
  • Gladiator is a compact and concealable punch knife, which you can get in Battle Pass Sector 15.

The aftermarket now also includes four new weapon parts that can be equipped on a number of weapons in the following configurations:

  • JAK Cutthroat is a new 3D-printed stock that provides a powerful combo of speed and stability while aiming down sights
    • Compatible weapons: MCW, MTZ, M4, and AMR9.
  • JAK Revenger Kit is a new 9mm caliber conversion kit that transforms the BP50 into a CQC with a shortened receiver and high-capacity magazine.
  • JAK Jawbreaker converts the KV Broadside shotgun into an automatic battle rifle.
  • JAK Shadow Titan Kit is a new conversion kit that transforms the Bruen Mk9 into a compact and integrally suppressed light support weapon chambered in 300 blackout.

All Weapon Buffs and Nerfs in COD MW3: Warzone Season 3

There are two huge weapon upgrades that the developer applied to all previously released weapons in Warzone Season 3, including:

  • While firing MW2 weapons, obstructive VFX has been decreased to align with MW3 standards.
  • ADS Idle Sway has no variance any longer, which results in a more predictable sway pattern.

In addition to these general adjustments, the developer introduced a whole array of individual weapon buffs and nerfs, which I listed below.
