Summary
Those who remember the mayhem ofModern Warfare 2’s (2009) akimbo attachment for the Model 1887 shotgun can now relive that experience, thanks toCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s recently added JAK Wardens conversion kit. The newCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3kit turns the Lockwood Mk2 marksman rifle into a spitting image of the infamous weapon.
Fans can thankMW3’s Season 3 Reloaded updatefor the JAK Wardens. The major patch introduced plenty of other content to Sledgehammer’s first-person shooter, including two new modes and two 6v6 maps. With about five months still to go inMW3’s lifespan, the game is on track to be the most heavily supported title in terms of post-launch content duringCall of Duty’sWarzoneera.MW3’s post-launch support has also benefited from the new conversion kit feature, which lets Sledgehammer release new versions of already added weapons.
MW3’s newest conversion kit, the JAK Wardens, can be unlocked by completing five weekly challenges from the Week 5 page. After doing so, the JAK Wardens kit can be applied to the Lockwood Mk2. This transforms the marksman rifle into an almost exact replica of the akimbo Model 1887s, complete with the same firing animation that sees the weapons flipped around with each shot. While the JAK Wardens are a strong choice for shotgun fans, the kit doesn’t come close to the 1887s' broken nature in the originalMW2, fortunately. Those who played that game during its first few months will likely remember the akimbo shotguns that could eliminate enemies from almost halfway across a map in one salvo. Thankfully,Call of Duty’s development teams often address issues in a matter of days or weeks now, instead of months.
How To Unlock The JAK Wardens Conversion Kit In Modern Warfare 3
After the JAK Wardens' recent release, users noticed a bug that caused its bullets to travel incorrectly when both shotguns were fired at the same time.Call of Dutydevelopers have promptly fixed the issue by releasing a hotfix earlier today on May 3. Alongside the hotfix was a note explaining that a frustratingnewWarzonebug is being worked onas well. Sometime next week, fans can expect an additional bug fix for that issue, which causes Automatic Tactical Sprint users inWarzoneto have their reloads continuously canceled.
Although the JAK Wardens are fun to use, they haven’t proved as powerful as an earlierCall of Dutyconversion kitthat turned the Haymaker shotgun into a 60-round menace. Fortunately, since its initial release, the Haymaker kit has been repeatedly nerfed to bring it back to Earth.
In terms of other new content,MW3also just released its Devin Bookerbundle as its latest collaboration with an NBA star. The bundle is available now for 2,400 CoD Points, but NBA fans looking to complete theirCall of Dutyskin collection will have to wait for Kevin Durant’s bundle to return toCoD’s in-game store.
