Sledgehammer Games announced that players of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 have a chance to unlock six different weapon camos for use in the game and in Warzone. The camos are unlockable during the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Rewind event running in the game until October 16, 2024.
The time of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is coming to an end. With the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 imminent, Activision and Microsoft are gearing up to pass the torch come October 25, 2024. Modern Warfare 3 won’t go out quietly, though, and developer Sledgehammer Games is celebrating the game with a limited-time Modern Warfare 3 Rewind event that promises special rewards for players who own the game. This last hurrah will allow dedicated players to gain a new Operator skin as well as a number of other cosmetic upgrades they can take into Call of Duty: Warzone, which will continue operating and act as a bridge of sorts between Black Ops 6 and Modern Warfare 3.

Call of Duty 2025 Has a Big Advantage That Modern Warfare 3 Didn’t
Rumors suggest that 2025’s Call of Duty will adopt another familiar franchise setting, possessing one clear advantage over the reused setting of MW3.
Among the more notable rewards is the final six weapon camo schemes in Modern Warfare 3. Sledgehammer Games shared a video preview of the camos on the official Modern Warfare 3 Reddit. Like other camos in the game, these last six camos are unlocked by accomplishing Modern Warfare 3 weapon camo challenges. The camos are usable in Warzone once unlocked, but they do require that the player own Modern Warfare 3 to make progress in the challenges, which mainly involve getting Operator Kills using certain weapons or loadout options.
Final Modern Warfare 3 Rewind Weapon Camo Skins Revealed
As detailed by Sledgehammer Games, the six Modern Warfare 3 weapon camos available during the Rewind event are all rather flashy animated weapon skins. Their designs range from very bright illuminations to silly designs featuring giraffes or chillwave designs featuring neon-lit palm trees. To make things simpler, the weapon camos are earned along the way towards unlocking the Modern Warfare 3 Rewind Batch Test and Balloon Test Operator skins.
Players were delighted by the weapon camo designs, and thanked developer Sledgehammer Games for the final “gift” to the playerbase to celebrate Modern Warfare 3‘s last days in the spotlight. A few players expressed frustration, lamenting the fact that those interested in getting the skins for use in Warzone might have to pay extra to purchase an “old” Call of Duty game two weeks before the launch of Black Ops 6.
