Activision Announces Call of Duty: Modern Warfare XRK Weapons Pack
Following the release of the Modern Warfare story trailer, Activision and Infinity Ward have announced the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare XRK Weapons Pack. This weapons bundle is a new digital pre-order bonus which will come with purchases of the game. It includes two weapons which will both be available for use on day one for anybody who gets the pack.
What is the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare XRK Weapons Pack?
“Purchase Call of Duty: Modern Warfare digitally and receive the XRK Weapons Pack for day one launch use,” explains Activision; “The XRK M4 assault rifle and XRK .357 handgun are built to be fast, accurate and hard hitting, giving you versatile options adaptable to any playstyle. They also feature unique matte bronze finish elements that help them stand out.”
Although it is unclear from the promotional statement, it’s possible that these weapons are like the Hammer Shotgun, which will be a launch-day bonus for anybody who reached Level 10 during the Modern Warfare Beta. The gun is simply a unique assemblage of different attachments available to unlock in the Gunsmith. As such, players can build the Hammer Shotgun for themselves by levelling up the weapon and unlocking the same parts. However, acquiring it by reaching level 10 in the Beta means that the weapon and its specific attachments will be available for use immediately without having to unlock it. Given that the promotion for the Modern Warfare XRK Weapons Pack states; “for day one launch use,” it could well be the same thing.
The XRK M4 assault rifle features attachments for accuracy and stability, according to Activision. Meanwhile, the XRK .357 handgun blends high power with a fast rate of fire. “Together,” says Activision; “the XRK Weapons Pack forms a powerful duo that allow you to hit the combat zone running”. The XRK Weapons Pack will be a pre-order bonus for all digital copies of the game.
