Summary
Call of Duty: Warzoneappears to have confirmed the return of two iconicModern Warfareassault rifles, the Kilo 141 and CR-56 AMAX, for Season 3. In a new video celebrating International Women’s Day, the final few seconds feature two operators, one of which is a currentBlack Ops 6character, holding the iconic weapons, seemingly confirming that they will make a return in the next season ofCall of Duty: Warzone.
Season 3 ofBlack Ops 6andWarzonewas initially scheduled to launch later this month, on March 20. However, just two weeks before the new season, publisher Activision announced that the new season had been delayed until Thursday, April 3. The studio didn’t specify why it had made the decision to delay the update, but did note that Season 3 will be a “big moment” for bothCall of Duty: WarzoneandBlack Ops 6. Activision then confirmed that more details on Season 3 will be shared following the fifth anniversary ofWarzone, which is set for March 10. But it looks like the teasers have already begun as fans believe the return of two iconicModern Warfareweapons have now been confirmed.
Call of Duty: Warzone Confirms Return of Amax and Kilo
In anew videoon the officialCall of DutyTwitter account, two operators can be seen at approximately 1 minute and 15 seconds, one fromBlack Ops 6and one fromWarzone. Both are on Rebirth Island, the iconic Resurgence map fromWarzone, with one holding the Kilo 141 and the other holding the CR-56 AMAX. Given that one of these operators is fromBlack Ops 6, it seems as thoughCall of Dutyhas practically confirmed the return of these two weapons. It would also align with previous leaks surrounding Season 3, which point towardsthe return of variousModern Warfareelements, including weapons and operators.
If leaks and rumors are to be believed, Season 3 is going to be a monumental moment forWarzonefans. Activision has already confirmed back in 2024 thatWarzone’s very first Battle Royale map will be returning in Spring 2025, but now it looks like we could just be a matter of weeks away from Verdansk’s return as various leakers and insiders claim the map will make its comeback with the launch of Season 3. Activision has yet to confirm whether or not this will be the case, but given that the map was recently added to the in-game files and that the studio has already said the new season will be a “big moment,” it seems increasingly likely.
WithCall of Duty’s player count continuing to decline, there’s a lot riding on the game’s upcoming season. While some are skeptical about Verdansk’s return, Activision appears to be attempting to go all out for Season 3. That’s if leaks are to be believed, anyway. While it now looks to be practically confirmed that the Kilo and AMAX are making their return, previous leaks also suggested thatotherModern Warfareweapons will be returning with Season 3, including the Grau 5.56 assault rifle and HDR sniper rifle. Whether or not Activision intends to bring back even more classic weapons remains to be seen. Fans will likely receive official confirmation in the coming weeks.
