The new weapon was leaked on Twitter by user BKTOOR, who uploaded a 30-second video of the gun in action on the map Trench, the new Gunfight map added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare at the beginning of Season 4.

While the video itself is very short, it does give players an idea as to how the gun will behave when it’s added to the game in the future. The weapon seems to have a huge amount of kick — especially when the person in the video fires the weapon at the Ferris wheel on Trench — and fires in semi-auto. That, combined with its looks, is causing some people to speculate that the weapon is related to the Barrett .50 cal from previous Call of Duty titles. While that’s really a question for gun experts, it’s hard to argue against that notion, with the only real difference being the lack of a giant muzzle brake at the end of the barrel.

Of course, the question on everyone’s mind is the weapon’s release date. While most would argue that, given the weapon’s current state in-game, it’s only a few days out from release, it’s simply impossible to tell given the times. With the developers working from home and with major historical events happening around the nation, schedules and release times are shifting on what appears to be a daily basis.

While everyone probably wants the new sniper as soon as possible, it might be beneficial for some players to come to terms with the fact that it might be a while before they get their hands on the Rytec AMR.

The inclusion of a new sniper, however, is great news in-and-of-itself. Players have been clamoring for a new one to be added to the game ever since its launch but even throughout multiple seasons and multiple new weapons, Infinity Ward has never obliged. It’s good to see that, after three seasons, Infinity Ward has finally decided to throw players a bone.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.
