The currently ongoing Season 1 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is being extended. There will be quite a few things to do, including earning a new weapon.
The developers announced: In a new developer blog, Infinity Ward surprisingly announced that they will extend the ongoing Season 1 of CoD Modern Warfare – by one week.
The first season started on December 3, 2019, and was originally supposed to last until February 3. The new end date for Season 1 has now been set to February 11.
Why the extension? In the coming weeks, a lot of new items and challenges are supposed to make their way into the game – including an in-game challenge where you can earn a new weapon.
Additionally, further game modes, new playlists, and extra store content will be activated.
To accommodate everything before the season ends, Season 1 of Modern Warfare has been extended. Furthermore, during this time
- Double XP
- Double Weapon XP
- Double tier progression in the Battle Pass will be provided
so you can prepare well for the upcoming Season 2. By the way, if you want to level up the Season 1 Battle Pass faster, you can find some tips here: 7 tips for leveling up the Battle Pass of CoD Modern Warfare quickly
What new weapon is coming? The new weapon will officially be a crossbow.
The crossbow is already known from previous “Call of Duty” installments like Black Ops, Black Ops 2, Advanced Warfare, or World War 2, and had a loyal fan base there. Infinity Ward has not yet revealed details about the corresponding challenge or the exact function of the crossbow.
However, what the weapon looks like is likely already known. As early as November 2019, the crossbow was leaked along with the Vector SMG. Whether the Vector might also come into play in Season 1 is not known. The crossbow has now been confirmed.
This is what the new crossbow probably looks like: Last November, clever players first noticed an in-game poster featuring a crossbow, hinting at the weapon.
The weapon apparently comes from XRK, a fictional brand that enhances some firearms in Modern Warfare with blueprints featuring new attachments in a special look.
Subsequently, initial in-game images of the new weapon itself have already surfaced. They came from a short video that leaked its way onto YouTube and social media.
It seems that the leaker TheGamingRevolution was right about this information as well.
What do you think of the new weapon? Are you already looking forward to going hunting with the crossbow soon?
