First Look at Call of Duty’s Doom Shotgun and Chainsaw, Diablo’s Lilith and Inarius, and More

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone are getting a raft of licensed bundles over the course of Season 6, and now the update is out in the wild, players have dug up gameplay clips showing off how they look.


Courtesy of Twitter user @BoomstickButch, we have an early look at gameplay showing off various operators and weapons. The highlight here has to be the Doom Tracer Pack, due October 9. This adds the Super Shotgun from id Software’s famous series to Call of Duty as well as its chainsaw. Both weapons are reminiscent of classic pixel Doom graphics and get bloodier as you get more eliminations. Here’s how they look:

The Lilith operator bundle, due out October 15, includes the Daughter of Hatred Finishing Move. The Inarius operator bundle, out October 26, has the Inarius Impaling Finishing Move.

Activision has clearly gone big with the crossovers for Modern Warfare 2’s final season ahead of the launch of Modern Warfare 3, and for this Halloween’s seasonal update. Let’s not forget Spawn is joining the fray, too.

The Haunting marks the conclusion of Modern Warfare 2’s final season, which increases the Prestige Rank cap from 21 to 25, with a new maximum level of 1,250. The Modern Warfare 3 beta kicks off October 6 on PlayStation consoles, with crossplay across all platforms from October 12.

Modern Warfare 3 campaign early access begins November 2, with the full launch set for November 10. The content you earn in Modern Warfare 2 will carry forward to the Modern Warfare 3, which means you can take your weapons and Operators with you to the new game.
