Modern Warfare 3 July 2 update patch notes: Conversion kit fixes, camo & challenge progression, more

Another patch has arrived for Modern Warfare 3, bringing changes to the way certain progression challenges unlock and tweaks to the game’s conversion kits.

One of the most significant changes to progression is that using the Underbarrel grenade launcher attachment will now count towards any challenges that require double kills with a grenade.

This makes unlocking those challenges easier since the grenade launcher is a little more accurate and efficient than normal Lethal grenades.

Here is a full rundown of everything changing with the Modern Warfare 3 July 2 patch notes.
