Warzone’s Season 3 Reloaded Update Reintroduces A Meta That Hasn’t Been Seen Since 2009

It’s 2009, you’ve just come home from school, hopped on Modern Warfare 2 and dominated in Team Deathmatch with the Akimbo Model 1887s. Wouldn’t we all love to reignite that feeling? Well, now we can, as yesterday’s Season 3 Reloaded update brought back the fan-favorite shotgun and players are absolutely dominating with it.

For those who might be a little too young to remember how powerful the Model 1887 was, this shotgun was a force to be reckoned with. You could only equip two attachments to it (Akimbo and FMJ), but that’s all you really needed anyway. The Akimbo attachment gave you a whole other shotgun to use, but left you without the ability to aim down sight, while FMJ allowed bullets to penetrate through thicker surfaces.

Ever since Infinity Ward opted to reboot the Modern Warfare series back in 2019, fans have seen the return of some classic weapons. In Season 3 alone, fans have seen the return of the MORS Sniper Rifle (Previously seen in Advanced Warfare), the FJX Horus (Also known as the MP9 from Modern Warfare 3), the BAL-27 (Another Advanced Warfare classic), and now the Model 1887 shotgun.

While all of the aforementioned weapons are fantastic additions and worth checking out, it’s the return of the Model 1887 that has really stood out.

Warzone Players Are Dominating With The Model 1887

In-game, you won’t specifically find the Model 1887 as a brand-new weapon. Instead, you’ll need to open up the weekly challenges tab and head to week 5. From here, you’ll notice that completing any 5 challenges from week 5 will unlock the Jak Warden Aftermarket Part.

Once you’ve unlocked the Jak Warden Aftermarket Part, head on over to the Lockwood MK2 Marksman Rifle and equip your new conversion kit to turn this weapon into the famous Akimbo Model 1887. And if you’re questioning whether or not it’s worth the time and effort, don’t take my word for it, just check out some of the clips players are pulling off with the new Model 1887.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see these patched in a future update, so I’d advise jumping in and having some fun while you still can!
