When it comes toCall of Duty: Modern Warfare, few there are more exciting than new weapons. Players always want to try new guns, new tactics, and new ways to play. According to reliableModern Warfaredataminer BKTOOR, there seems to be a new assault rifle on its way to the game, and many fans are already thinking of new tactics to try out with this addition.

While the next entry in theCall of Dutyfranchise is just around the corner, there is still plenty of life in the current game.Modern Warfareis as popular as ever and is still bringing out tons of new content and updates. The rumors of anupcoming night mode forWarzoneshow that the game is far from dying out. Season 6 will arrive before the next game does, so it has to be packed full of content to keep players in this game.

BKTOOR is no stranger toCall of Dutyleaks, and this time he has found a new assault rifle called the AS VAL. While theprevious weapon was a returning sniper rifle, it seems this gun is all new. Since it is incomplete in the game files, there aren’t many effects and sounds to the gun at the moment. Many fans have already compared its appearance to the AN and its handling looks similar to the Vector.

While a new assault rifle is very exciting, many gamers have proven lately that they don’t always need good guns to win matches. Some gamers usedrones to take out helicoptersor run entire matches using only melee, and C4 is one of the most popular tools in the game. That being said, a new weapon of any type will surely take the spotlight as soon as it releases.

While there is no guarantee the gun makes an appearance in Season 6 content, it looks to already be a hit with many fans.Modern Warfareseems to be going very strong, havingpassed a huge sales milestonewith no intent on stopping. It will be interesting to see what sorts of updates the game gets after the newBlack Opsreleases this Fall. Hopefully, for those that will end up preferring the current game, there will still be plenty of new weapons and updates to keep it alive.

Of course, new content being added to the game always runs the risk of new bugs and glitches popping up. While Infinity Ward was quick toact against the game-breaking vehicle glitch, the number of glitches in the game has been a negative staple since its release. Hopefully, the commitment by the developers to keep the game fair and playable continues well after the nextCall of Dutyreleases.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
