Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 & Warzone

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone are reaching their final season, with Week 8 of Season 5 marking its debut. Though this content drop doesn't bring a whole lot into the game, one additional Season 5 attachment has made its arrival. This attachment is the JAK Devastators Aftermarket Part, which has finally arrived following its delayed release.

The JAK Devastators is an Aftermarket Part for the Reclaimer 18 Shotgun, functioning similarly to the Akimbo attachment found on other guns in the game. In addition to giving players dual Reclaimer 18 Shotguns, the JAK Devastators halve the weapon's ammo capacity, reduce damage range, and negatively impact hipfire spread. Despite these drawbacks, however, the JAK Devastators can be incredibly powerful with the right attachments.

The JAK Devastators can be unlocked by completing five of seven Week 8 Challenges for Season 5 of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. These challenges offer different variations that can be completed in Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone, making them highly accessible for all players. The Week 8 Challenges can be viewed via the Launcher Menu by heading over to Challenges and then to the Weekly tab. On top of unlocking the JAK Devastators, completing the Week 8 challenges offers XP rewards, along with the Chainbreaker Weapon Camo — if players have claimed all previous Weekly Rewards.

Once Season 6 starts, the JAK Devastators can be unlocked via the Armory Unlock section if players have not acquired them during Season 5.

The Jak Devastators build for the Reclaimer 18 showcased below does a great job at mitigating its flaws while boosting other attributes. With the attachments highlighted below, players will find that sprint-to-fire speed, hip-fire accuracy, and hip-recoil control have all received major buffs. Damage range has also been boosted to counter the range reduction of the Aftermarket Part, along with providing a tighter pellet spread for more consistent one-shot kills. All these attributes provide players with a solid Akimbo weapon to use in both Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.

Secondary Recommendations For The Jak Devastators Loadout

For Core Multiplayer, the JAK Devastators are a solid option for players focused on close-range engagements, making them a powerhouse on maps like Shipment. However, due to the low magazine size of each Shotgun, players may need a backup weapon when their Primary is out of action. Enter the WSP Stinger, currently the best weapon in the Handgun category. Other strong Handgun options include the Renetti and the COR-45, both offering higher damage output at the cost of a slower fire rate.

For Warzone, however, the JAK Devastators instead serve better as a close-range support for a weapon that excels at long-range combat. Since the JAK Devastators function as Akimbo Shotguns, a full-auto weapon will serve best, instead of equipping a single-fire weapon like those found in the Sniper Rifle category. Some of the best candidates here include the STG44, the Holger 556, the MTZ-556, the BP50, and the TAQ Eradicator.
