Is FN2000 Actually Returning With Season 2 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3? Here’s What to Know

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has received tons of weapons so far. Since its release, it has witnessed the addition of new ones as well as returning guns. Speaking of return, it looks like an extremely classic assault rifle, which goes by the name FN2000, is seemingly about to come back. It’s been rumored for a long time already and insiders have claimed it will arrive with the next major season.

When it comes to powerful options, Modern Warfare 3 has the likes of battle rifles, SMGs, marksman rifles, sniper rifles, and pistols. But assault rifles have their own impact when used in online modes like Multiplayer, Warzone, and the newly introduced Modern Warfare Zombies. But fans like it more when their favorite gun from the classic era ends up returning. Here’s more on the latest chatter.

FN2000 nearly confirmed to arrive in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 with Season 2

Popular insider Detonated recently shared a post on X. While presenting updates on the leaked weapon options for Modern Warfare 3’s Season 2 update, the scooper also mentioned the FN2000. Per Detonated, FN2000 has already been spotted in official pictures released for Season 1 Reloaded. Going by how convincing COD-based leaks have been lately, one can safely assume FN2000 will, indeed, return in Season 2. For those who have never used it, FN2000 is a bullpup assault rifle that originally featured in 2009’s Modern Warfare 2 installment by Infinity Ward.

During the Campaign mission ‘No Russian’, FN2000 was seen being used by the FSB (Federal Security Forces). In other missions like ‘Estate Takedown’, ‘Wetwork’, ‘Armor Piercing’, ‘The Enemy of My Enemy’, ‘The Only Easy Day… Was Yesterday’, and ‘Loose Ends’, it was found with a Thermal Scope. In the game, players could unlock this AR after reaching Level 60.

Apart from MW2, the gun was also seen in Call of Duty: Online title. When it comes to its most recent appearance, it was only during 2021’s Vanguard by Sledgehammer Games. FN2000 was cut from the original Modern Warfare 3 back in 2011. So it’s return to a COD game that goes by the same title will be interesting to witness.

Speaking of other rumored weapons for the second season of MW3, there is a Sword and Bow as well. What’s fascinating about these two weapon types is that many players believe they are connected to a future event. Some of the curious fans think a crossover between MW3 and the TV show The Walking Dead will happen.
