Nostalgic Legacy

The Kar98k, a staple of WWII-era warfare, first gained prominence in Call of Duty 2 as the go-to sniper rifle for many players. Meanwhile, the SPAS-12 shotgun made its mark in Modern Warfare 2, quickly becoming a fan-favorite choice for close-quarters combat. Despite their iconic status, both weapons have been absent from recent Call of Duty titles, with the Kar98k last seen in Vanguard and the SPAS-12 missing since Black Ops Cold War.

BobNetworkUK's findings, including files referencing codenamed weapons like the "kappa98" and "spapa12," have fueled speculation that these could be placeholders for the Kar98k and SPAS-12, respectively. Should these rumors hold true, players can anticipate the return of these classic firearms in an upcoming Modern Warfare 3 update.

Exciting Possibilities

The potential reintroduction of the Kar98k and SPAS-12 opens up exciting possibilities for Modern Warfare 3 players. These iconic weapons could serve as headline additions to future battle passes, following in the footsteps of recent DLC additions like the FJX Horus SMG and MORS sniper rifle. Notably, such weapons are typically accessible to all players, regardless of their purchase status, ensuring an inclusive gameplay experience.

Fans may also recall the Kar98k's brief stint in Warzone prior to Vanguard's release, where it was classified as a marksman rifle. If reintroduced in Modern Warfare 3, players can expect a similar adaptation, offering a fresh yet familiar gameplay experience.
