New Weapons Coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Leaked Weapons

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 leakers claim that a sword and bow will be added to the game in the future. Other information was unearthed as well, such as descriptions of the bow's ammo types and when these weapons will likely be added to the game.

Call of Duty often adds new weapons as each year's game progresses through its lifespan. Modern Warfare 3's recent Season 1 update added three new weapons in the Ram-7, XRK Stalker, and Stormender. The game will also receive the HRM-9 and TAQ Evolvere with the Season 1 Reloaded update later in January. Season 2, which is expected to launch in early February, will likely introduce new weapons as well, and it seems that fans may have already figured out what some of these weapons will be.

Call of Duty leaker el_bobberto claimed that a sword and bow will be added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in the future, and also stated that 'similar weapons' are coming as well. It's not known for sure whether these weapons will be a part of the Season 2 update or an unannounced event. However, dataminers discovered files labeled 'season2' that described the bow's ammo types, suggesting that the bow might be added with Modern Warfare 3's next seasonal update in February. But this could also mean that the weapons are to be released during Season 2's time frame as part of a separate event. Another Call of Duty leaker, SemtexLeaks, found an image of the new sword.

What Weapons are Supposedly Coming to Modern Warfare 3?

Sword

Bow

Other similar weapons

Within Modern Warfare 3's files, the bow's ammo types are labeled as rip, broad, std, shotgun, he, db, and gas. It's not known whether the bow will feature additional attachment options as well. As for the other potential weapons, El_bobberto did not specify what they meant by 'similar weapons' also being added. However, these presumably include other historical weapons that stray from Modern Warfare 3's mostly present-day arsenal.

Some fans speculated that these additions might be a part of the previously leaked Walking Dead event coming to Modern Warfare 3, since some of the show's characters used similar weapons. The event will apparently feature the characters of Rick Grimes and Michonne, whose trademark weapons in the show were a revolver and katana, respectively.

The sword's datamined render does not appear to be a katana, so it's far from certain whether these new weapons will be a part of the Walking Dead event. Fans of zombie-themed content are also hoping that Modern Warfare 3's Season 2 update will add some of Outbreak's better features to the new Zombies mode. Although the mode has been a success, it's missing some key aspects that made Black Ops: Cold War's Outbreak mode particularly enjoyable.

Speculations and Expectations

Fans are eagerly anticipating the potential addition of the sword and bow to Modern Warfare 3, as well as the possibility of other similar weapons. The excitement is fueled by the speculation that these new weapons may be linked to the Walking Dead event, which is rumored to feature iconic characters from the popular TV show.

The anticipation also extends to the potential improvements in the Zombies mode with the Season 2 update. Fans are hopeful that the new update will incorporate some of the successful features from Black Ops: Cold War's Outbreak mode, enhancing the zombie-themed experience in Modern Warfare 3.

Overall, the community's enthusiasm for the upcoming Season 2 update is palpable, with players eagerly awaiting the introduction of new weapons and potential enhancements to the game's popular game modes.
