Summary
- A Black Ops 2 fan 3D prints a replica KAP-40, impressing fans online.
- Black Ops 2 weapons continue to make an impact, with many players enjoying the guns from the game.
The passion for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 lives on all the years later, with a dedicated fan creating a practically perfect replica of the KAP-40. The replica was crafted using 3D printing, a hobby that has continued to expand as designs and the technology itself advance. This is hardly the first impressive fan creation when it comes to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and given the response to it, it likely won't be the last.
As hard to believe as it may sound, Black Ops 2 turns 13 years old this year, though passion and excitement for the game have remained steady. Of course, Black Ops 2's online servers have dwindled in terms of players over the last decade, mostly due to newer, shinier titles coming out, but this hasn't stopped fans from discussing the game and its impact on the Call of Duty brand as a whole. Perhaps Black Ops 2's greatest strength was its assortment of guns, which ranged from classic weaponry to fictional takes on iconic firearms. The KAP-40 is a great example, with one fan taking things to the next level, creating their own life-size replica of the automatic pistol.
Reddit user Holiday_Box7108 recently shared their own custom-made KAP-40 model from Black Ops 2, showcasing the creation to the official Call of Duty community. The post has received nearly a thousand upvotes, with dozens of fans commenting on the impressive craftsmanship of the weapon. The KAP-40 was one of several sidearms players could pick from in Black Ops 2, offering a highly mobile weapon capable of firing at fast speeds. The KAP-40 wasn't the only pistol players could choose from, but it certainly serves as a reminder of what Treyarch was going for, both visually and gameplay-wise, in Black Ops 2.
Black Ops 2 Fan Creates Custom KAP-40 Model
Black Ops 2's selection of weapons grew increasingly more unique as the game received new content in its DLC packs, especially when it came to its Zombies mode. Treyarch designed and implemented a number of new Wonder Weapons for players to use in Black Ops 2's Zombies maps, some of which have been somewhat forgotten while others have lived on in other Call of Duty titles. Most recently, Black Ops 6 saw the return of Black Ops 2's Jet Gun, an underpowered weapon that debuted alongside Tranzit.
Black Ops 2 has seen an uptick in discussion recently, with fans theorizing it may be the game's turn to receive its own modern-day upgrade, just like Modern Warfare 1, 2, and 3 did. Rumors and supposed leaks have hinted at a planned Black Ops 2 remake, though nothing has been confirmed yet. What gives these rumors more fuel is the fact that Black Ops 2 takes place in the year 2025, making this year particularly interesting for those hoping to hear news of a remake. Only time will tell what actually happens, but it's hard to deny the impact Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 had on the FPS genre and gaming as a whole.
