Iconic Modern Warfare Guns Teased in New Warzone Trailer

A recent Call of Duty video has seemingly confirmed the return of two iconic Modern Warfare assault rifles in Warzone, offering a nostalgic touch for long-time fans amid the game’s ongoing struggles.

Warzone's Recent Challenges and Potential Redemption

Warzone has faced a difficult stretch recently, with a notable player count decline in December 2024. Persistent issues with cheaters and hackers continue to plague the experience, leaving many players frustrated. Additionally, fans are still awaiting news on the highly anticipated Urzikstan map's retirement.

Recent leaks hint that Verdansk — Warzone’s original and beloved map — may return in Season 3. COD leaker TheGhostOfHope has speculated that Verdansk’s return may be Warzone’s final opportunity to reclaim its former glory. If Season 3 fails to revitalize the player base, a "Warzone 3" might not be part of Call of Duty’s 2026 release.

CR-56 AMAX and Kilo 141 Spotted in Warzone Trailer

The potential return of Verdansk isn’t the only exciting news. During a video shared on Call of Duty's social media to commemorate International Women’s Day 2025, eagle-eyed viewers noticed two characters wielding previously unavailable assault rifles — the CR-56 AMAX and the Kilo 141.

Both weapons were last seen in Modern Warfare (2019) and Call of Duty: Mobile, and their surprise appearance in the trailer strongly suggests their return to Warzone’s loot pool.

When Will the AMAX and Kilo Return to Warzone?

Activision has yet to formally announce the return of these iconic guns. However, speculation points to their arrival alongside Warzone’s Season 3 update, now scheduled for April 3, following a delay from its initial March 20 release date.

Community Reactions to the AMAX and Kilo Tease

The reveal has drawn mixed reactions from the Call of Duty community. While some players are excited about the return of these popular guns, others remain skeptical due to Warzone’s ongoing issues.

One Twitter user responded to CharlieIntel’s post, stating, “This is great and all, but adding these nostalgic additions will be short-lived and offset by the critical condition [of] the current state of the game...”

On the other hand, some players view the return of the AMAX and Kilo as a positive move in the right direction.

Will Nostalgia Save Warzone?

Time will tell if these classic Modern Warfare weapons, combined with Verdansk’s potential return, can reignite excitement for Warzone and restore its once-thriving player base.
