TheCall of Dutyteam likes to drop hintsand teases for new updates, and fans have gotten used to scrutinizing every detail. A teaser forWarzoneSeason 4 has been released consisting of a number of quick cuts between various images, assets, and themes that are presumably coming to the game with the new season. One of these images is the receiver of a very specific sniper rifle that fans immediately clocked.
The rifle has been identified, making it all but certain that theKar98 will return toCall of Duty: Warzonein Season 4. In addition to the teaser,theCall of DutyTwitter account repliedto a post from late March, where a fan asked if the Kar would return, given that a map fromWarzone’s early days had also returned. The reply simply said “K.” The team also sent packages toCall of Dutycontent creators and streamers consisting of a toy car with the number 98 on it. The packaging also contained a scratch-off section that revealed the letter “K.”
The Kar98 was incredibly popular in the early days ofCall of Duty: Warzone, and fans would spend hours figuring outthe best Kar98 loadout. A well-designed loadout would provide steady and snappy aim resulting in devastating one-shot kills for those who could master it. It appeared in several games throughout theCall of Dutyseries, most recently appearing in thenCall of Duty: Vanguard,but it was theModern Warfareversion that made it intoWarzone. After its removal fromWarzoneit was missed so much that fans began to attempt to recreate the rifle using different guns and parts available in-game.
Warzone Players Concerned Over Which Kar Will Star
While fans are excited about the Kar’s return, anxiety persists over whether the rifle will function like it did inModern Warfareas opposed to theVanguardversion. Fans have noticed strengths and weaknesses in each version, includingthe no-glint Kar98 glitchthat was present in the originalWarzone, but seem to be pulling for theModern Warfare(2019) version. In a game where precise weapon tuning and loadouts can mean the difference between victory and defeat, competitive players looking to climb next season’s leaderboards will be keeping a sharp eye on what version of the Kar98 returns toCall of Duty: Warzone. Season 4 begins on May 29.
