Play CoD: Modern Warfare's Beta Enough, Get A Shotgun In The Full Game

Those who play the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare beta and reach a certain level in it will get a free weapon for use in the game when it launches, Infinity Ward has announced. The beta is now live once again for everyone on PS4, as well as pre-order customers on Xbox One and PC. It will soon expand to include everyone on the latter two platforms.

Players who reach level 10 before the beta ends on September 23 will receive the Hammer shotgun in Modern Warfare at release. The weapon comes "fully customized" with a special pistol grip and a double-silenced short barrel. The foregrip is angled while the gun also is equipped with a holographic sight.
