Unveiling Revolutionary Gunsmith Enhancements in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Highlights

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will feature major Gunsmith changes, adding a new layer of customization that alters weapon performance.

In Gunsmith, players can utilize aftermarket parts to transform their weapons into different variations once they have reached the maximum weapon level. This feature not only enhances customization options but also provides a unique gameplay experience. Activision and Sledgehammer Games have announced significant updates to the Gunsmith tool in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. These changes will introduce a fresh level of customization that will significantly impact the performance of weapons.

In Modern Warfare 3, Vladimir Makarov, the well-known antagonist from the original trilogy, returns as a playable operator in multiplayer modes. Additionally, thanks to the new Carry-Forward System, players can expect a variety of content from Modern Warfare 2 to make a comeback. This includes weapons, purchased bundles, operators, and other rewards acquired in the previous game.

The developers of Call of Duty have recently shared a video and blog post detailing significant updates to the Gunsmith feature in Modern Warfare 3. One notable addition is the introduction of Aftermarket Parts, providing players with a fresh option within the Gunsmith tool. Once players reach the maximum weapon level and complete a corresponding challenge, they can use Aftermarket Parts to transform their weapon into a different type. For instance, by using a full-auto carbine conversion kit as an Aftermarket Part, players can turn the Renetti pistol into a lightweight SMG with improved damage, bullet velocity, range, and fire rate. This conversion also allows the Renetti to support additional attachments, enabling it to perform similarly to some of the best SMGs in Modern Warfare 2.

Sledgehammer Games believes that utilizing Aftermarket Parts can greatly benefit players who have maxed out a weapon's level. This conversion will not only change the weapon's overall identity but also provide players with a fresh and unique gaming experience. To showcase this, the developers demonstrated the application of Aftermarket Parts on the Pulemyot 762, a robust light machine gun featured in Modern Warfare 3. The introduction of the Jak Annihilator Aftermarket Parts model allows players to transform the Pulemyot 762 LMG into a Bullpup variant, significantly reducing its weight and enhancing its mobility. This Bullpup Pulemyot 762 LMG caters to a "run-and-gun" play style, often associated with assault rifles and SMGs in Modern Warfare 2.

In addition to these exciting changes, Modern Warfare 3 will also bring forth improvements to the Gunsmith tool, making customization more seamless. According to Sledgehammer Games, players will no longer be required to use and level up a specific weapon in order to access attachments. Once an attachment has been unlocked on a previous weapon, it can be immediately applied to a new one. This means that attachments like grips and stocks can be utilized immediately, without the need to level up the new weapon. Furthermore, the use of new 1x zoom optic attachments in Modern Warfare 3 will no longer penalize the aim down sights speed.

The latest Gunsmith changes in Modern Warfare 3 aim to promote the customization of beloved weapons and motivate players to experiment with new ones. With the series constantly evolving its Gunsmith feature, Modern Warfare 3 introduces significant updates that are expected to be pivotal. Scheduled for release on November 10, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
