It is important to note that some of these weapons are not exactly separate guns but are made from a base gun with a modifier kit. These kits will be called Aftermarket kits and can become one of the most crucial pillars for Activision’s upcoming title.
What are Aftermarket kits in Modern Warfare 3?
The Aftermarket kits are described as a powerful item that will enable players to utilize Conversion Parts to make their own iteration of different weapons. This will also provide a new route for them to experience the same gun in different forms and allow the community to challenge themselves to master new weapons.
This could also help developers introduce more gameplay content with future seasonal updates. One of the most significant factors that make the Aftermarket kits spectacular is that they can completely change the nature of a weapon. A few examples were provided in the official announcement to showcase its unique approach.
Different conversion kits can be used to transform an existing weapon. For example, a semi-automatic handgun can be turned into a full-automatic weapon. This would allow the skill ceiling to rise sharply but also make players will be able to go through different mastery levels. Such a series of kits could introduce a massive number of customization options for the same weapon.
Additional changes
Activision has announced that Modern Warfare 3 will have a new 1x Optic attachment. This would allow players to reduce the Aim Down Sight (ADS) penalty and track enemies faster, easing the ability to develop faster reflexes.
The player base will be able to experience all the new improvements in the upcoming beta phase that goes live on October 6, 2023. The developers will also host an open beta test phase to attract a larger number of players from the shooter community.
