Despite Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3‘s campaign facing massive backlash, the game’s multiplayer aspect still remains a popular feature. Through the upcoming Season 4 Reloaded, Activision aims to take this multiplayer experience to the next level.
Season 4 Reloaded is a mid-season update which is right around the corner. The update is all set to introduce new modes, maps, and much more. However, one of the most striking aspects of the upcoming update is the return of a weapon that was everyone’s bane of existence in 2009’s MW2!
The SPAS-12 is Returning in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 Reloaded
There’s no doubt that the SPAS-12 is one of Call of Duty‘s most iconic weapons, causing absolute nightmares no matter which game it was in. The shotgun first appeared in 2009’s Modern Warfare 2 and quickly became a fan favorite for its massive damage and close-quarters effectiveness.
The shotgun was last used in the Black Ops: Cold War. However, it’s finally making a return with Modern Warfare 3‘s update alongside another Sledgehammer Melee weapon.

The Reclaimer 18 (SPAS-12) will be unlockable via a new free Sector added to the game’s Battle Pass in the Season 4 Reloaded update. Just like BAL-27 during Season 3 Reloaded, players will have to complete various challenges in order to unlock the weapon.
It’s crucial to note that the shotgun will be able to take advantage of the latest meta attachments, such as Dragon’s Breath.

That’s not all; the developers will also release the lethal Akimbo Aftermarket Part for the gun sometime in the future, according to datamined files. Don’t be surprised if you see everyone running around with the Reclaimer, as it’s bound to dominate the meta!
What Else is Coming in the Update?
Alongside the nostalgic shotgun, the upcoming Season 4 Reloaded update is all ready to expand the range of modes in the game. Mutation Mode will introduce altered DNA strands that will infect your Operators, turning the battlefield into chaotic confrontations between mutants and humans.
Havoc mode, inspired by arena shooters, will feature match modifiers that will activate progressively as players and teams reach specific animation goals, with 14 different modifiers available to keep the gameplay unpredictable. The update will also feature new maps, such as Incline, a snow-covered map set in Urzikstan.
Season 4 Reloaded is releasing on June 26 for all platforms. With so much content, this mid-season update is definitely going to bring fresh challenges to Modern Warfare 3‘s experience.
