What are Mastercraft weapons in MW3?

Mastercraft weapons in MW3 are a rare tier of Blueprints for existing guns. They offer a unique and visually striking appearance, along with a combination of attachments that can significantly impact their play style. 

They have a completely different look compared to the base weapon, often featuring intricate textures, animations, and reactive effects. Some Mastercraft weapons also have multiple stages that evolve as you get kills with them, further enhancing their visual distinction. 

When they were first introduced, Mastercraft weapons featured reactive camos that transformed during a match, a fine feature that was later discarded in newer titles. In MW3 and Warzone, they’ll likely function like standard Blueprints but boast a more extravagant and over-the-top appearance.

How to get Mastercraft weapons in MW3

For now, you can get Mastercraft weapons in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone by purchasing them in bundles via the CoD Store. With Season 1 now underway, you can purchase the first Mastercraft weapon from the Echo Endo Ecstatic Entropy Tracer Pack when it becomes available later in the new Season. 

It’s worth noting that these Mastercraft weapons come pre-equipped with a specific set of attachments that are designed to complement each other and enhance the weapon’s performance in a particular way, so if you have the opportunity to purchase them, best use it. 

That’s all we have for you on Mastercraft weapons and while there’s no exact date on when they’ll become available, chances are you’ll be able to purchase them before MW3 Season 1 comes to a close.
