Snipers have become a forlorn art as of late, with Warzone players often getting quite annoyed when a bullet to the dome instantly ends their game and sends them packing to the loading screen.
Since the Kar98k meta of the original Warzone ended, players have consistently debated whether the .50 cal bullets should be considered a one-shot kill and where the line gets drawn between OP quick-scoping marksman rifles and true American Sniper-styled harpoons.
Well, the debate has just been blown to smithereens. As will your face. As will your friends' faces. As will anyone who comes close to the Katt AMR in MW3 or Warzone, as the latest outrageous Aftermarket Part kit has replaced the bullets in its chamber with rockets!
Sniper RPGs are the new meta in MW3 and Warzone
The Aftermarket Part kits have become barbaric as Modern Warfare 3 signs off with comical clown operators wielding akimbo Spas-12s or plasma-firing ARs sent back in time from Advanced Warfare.
The latest kit comes in the form of the JAK SALVO kit for the Katt AMR sniper, and it turns the gun into a semi-automatic RPG. "A sniper modification that fires anti-materiel explosive rockets that deal significant explosive damage," reads the Call of Duty blog description.
Already, players have unlocked the demonic mash-up weapon and are showcasing just how ridiculous the gun can be.
Call of Duty streamer "Testyment" showcased the gun in action, and while the bullet velocity is admittedly atrocious for a sniper, the damage radius is wild and will down anyone with either a direct impact hit or within a good five-yard radius.
There are more Ray Gun vibes here than a true sniper, watching your beam fly through the air and splash enemies straight to the Gulag without a chance to reply. This will likely be nerfed in two weeks, but if you want a leg-up in your Warzone matches over the next few days, the JAK SALVO kit might be the way forward.
