Developer Sledgehammer Games has released one final update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023.) The unexpected patch includes major weapon balancing and rolls out new armoury unlock challenges.
Although Modern Warfare 3 is old news with Black Ops 6 being the current Call of Duty and Black Ops 7 on the horizon, the title does have a dedicated community and active player base. The highlight of the patch is a huge nerf to the JAK Devastator Conversion Kit for the Reclaimer 18, a weapon that has been dominating Modern Warfare 3 lobbies for far too long.
