With such a vast amount of weapons to choose from, it’s easy to see how guns in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone can get forgotten or barely used.

That’s why Aftermarket Parts have made such a great addition to the franchise in MW3. These parts, sometimes attachments or full-fledged Conversion Kits, can take a weak or unpopular gun and transform it into something fun, powerful, or just worth using again.

One such Aftermarket Part is the JAK Lance, which takes a forgotten Modern Warfare 2 gun and changes it completely into something new. Whether it’s dominant or not is irrelevant because it makes the weapon worth trying out again. And since the feature seems unlikely to return in Black Ops 6, it’s unfortunately one of the final Aftermarket Parts to be added to the game.

Here’s everything to know about the JAK Lance Aftermarket Part in MW3 and Warzone.

The JAK Lance is an Aftermarket Part and Conversion Kit for the MX Guardian shotgun in MW3 and Warzone, released during week two of season six of MW3.

The Conversion Kit gives the MX Guardian a “pressurized magazine that fires three ballistic rivets, one per magazine rotation,” where “pressure builds while the weapon is idle until the maximum output is reached, and “at critical pressure, velocity, and precision are vastly improved.”
