How to unlock the JAK Lance in MW3 & Warzone

The JAK Lance is the second Aftermarket Part to arrive in MW3 and Warzone Season 6, which completely transforms one of the game’s forgotten shotguns, bringing it back to relevance.

When equipped, this attachment adds a pressurized magazine to the MX Guardian that contains ballistic rivets. The magazine’s pressure builds when the gun is idle, with its accuracy and effective range being drastically increased when maximum output is reached.

This turns the MW2 Shotgun into a rivet gun capable of one-shotting enemies in multiplayer and two shot downs in Warzone. Despite being a shotgun, this version of the MX Guardian is capable of dealing lethal damage well beyond 50 meters, making it a truly powerful weapon.

Assuming that’s something you’re interested in, here’s how to unlock the JAK Lance AMP and get your hands on this conversion kit as fast as possible.

The JAK Lance conversion kit limits what attachments you can use on the MX Guardian, blocking off the barrel, rear grip, magazine, and trigger action slots. Even so, it’s still possible to make a great build and dominate with this unusual shotgun.

After equipping the AMP, add the JAK Glassless Optic for a meta optic that makes lining up and hitting shots much easier. This is essential given how costly missed shots are with this weapon, given its tiny magazine capacity.

Add the SL Skeletal Vertical Grip to improve important handling stats like ADS speed and sprint to fire speed. These can be further boosted by using the MX DCP-0 stock, which also improves sprint speed, making this JAK Lance build much more mobile.

Lastly, the Mack8 Frost Bite is a unique muzzle that increases melee damage, allowing you to one shot enemies in multiplayer and two-shot them in Warzone. This helps mitigate the shotgun’s tiny magazine by giving you a backup option for situations where you need to reload but don’t have time.

Jak Lance pros and cons

Hardly flinches at all	Very low bullet velocity
High skill ceiling	Hard to use

How good is the JAK Lance?

The JAK Lance is fantastic in MW3, but a mediocre option in Warzone. It has two big flaws that make it hard to justify using in Warzone: A damage cap of 295, making it unable to kill in one shot, and a three-round magazine, meaning you need to use a full magazine to kill and thirst just one enemy.

However, the new Aftermarket Part is much better in MW3. Its ability to kill in one shot to any part of the body in multiplayer makes it a genuinely scary gun to go up against, especially in the hands of a skilled player. Its low bullet velocity will take some getting used to, but the JAK Lance is a strong option once you master it. Just be sure to use the Mag Holster perk to speed up those sluggish reloads.
