The known leaker BKTOOR has discovered a new shotgun for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and in CoD: Warzone. Fans of Modern Warfare 2 may already know it and it could come to the game with Season 6.
What kind of weapon is this? The Call of Duty leaker BKTOOR, who had already correctly predicted the sniper Rytec AMR in June, showcased the gameplay of a new weapon on Twitter.
This is the AA-12 shotgun, which some of you may already know from Modern Warfare 2.
The video shows the weapon in a raw form, as is common with such leaks. Detailed textures, animations, and sounds are usually added later. Clipping errors can still be seen.
AA-12 was the only automatic shotgun in MW2
This is what made the AA-12 special: In Modern Warfare 2, shotguns were very popular weapons. The AA-12 was not known for its high damage but rather for being the only fully automatic shotgun in the game.
The leaked gameplay already shows that the weapon is styled similarly to the version from MW2, although it currently has a significantly higher recoil. However, this may change in the final version.
When could the weapon come to the game? It is likely that the AA-12 will find its way into the game with the upcoming Season 6. In the still ongoing Season 5, 3 new weapons have already been released, including the FiNN, an LMG that appeared with the Mid-Season Update.
The Season 6 is expected to start between the end of September and early October. However, due to the early development stage of the weapon, it is quite possible that it will not be released until the middle of the season.
However, it seems quite certain that the sniper R700 will already be included at the start of the new season. This was also discovered by BKTOOR.
