Season 3 Reloaded for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone has made its debut, bringing about various new content drops for players to enjoy. The arrival of two core 6v6 maps, along with the inclusion of new game modes, are sure to change the gameplay experience for Multiplayer. Likewise, Warzone has also seen some updates, particularly when it comes to Rebirth Island. However, the highlight of this update has to be the arrival of the BAL-27 Assault Rifle.
The BAL-27 is a returning Assault Rifle that first debuted in Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Much like the TAQ Eradicator LMG, the BAL-27 has a varying fire rate granting the first 4 bullets increased accuracy at the expense of a slower firing speed. This provides the user the freedom to fire in four-round bursts to increase the BAL-27's usefulness across ranges, or simply hold down the trigger to mow down opponents up close. Here is how to unlock the BAL-27 in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone along with the best loadout for it.

With the Renetti nerfed, fans are wondering what the next big thing in the Warzone meta is. Here is what they need to know.
How To Unlock The BAL-27
The BAL-27 is the final free-reward of the Season 3 Battle Pass's declassified Sector 23. Unlike many other rewards, gamers will not be able to exchange their Battle Pass Tokens to claim the BAL-27. Instead, they will need to first claim all the rewards in Sector 6 or 13 beforehand. Next, players will then need to unlock all rewards in Sector 23 by completing a series of challenges. Once done so, players will unlock the final challenge to obtain the BAL-27.

Best MW3 BAL-27 Loadout
The below BAL-27 build is made specifically to compete within the medium-range meta of Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer. With a great emphasis on keeping mobility and handling high, whilst also improving recoil control, these attachments are sure to make the BAL-27 a great addition to the meta guns for Season 3.
- Monolithic Suppressor (Muzzle)
- Kimura Seraphic Vertical Grip (Underbarrel)
- FSS OLE-V Laser (Laser)
- MK. 3 Reflector (Optic)
Best Equipment
- Assassin Vest (Vest) - Pairs well with the inclusion of the silencer attachment for the BAL-27. It especially functions like the Ghost T/V Camo, hiding players from enemy UAVs.
- Scavenger Gloves (Gloves) - Perfect for any Assault Rifle loadout. Allows players to resupply ammunition from eliminated players, thus ensuring your BAL-27 always has ammo in its reserve.
- Lightweight Boots (Boots) - Aims to increase your movement speed, thus mitigating any reductions in mobility.
- Bone Conduction Headset (Gear) - An excellent addition for Assault Rife loadouts. Essentially, it improves your ability to track enemy footsteps by improving audio cues, perfect for the battlefield.
Recommended Secondary
The BAL-27 is arguably the standout weapon for a gamer's Multiplayer loadout, eliminating the need to run an additional Primary weapon. So, with this in mind, there are two recommendations that you should consider. The first is to run with a Handgun to swap to when you are short on ammunition for your BAL-27. The WSP Stinger, the TYR, and the Renetti are among the top picks for the Handgun category. Alternatively, you could run a Launcher to eliminate pesky killstreaks.

Best Warzone BAL-27 Loadout
The below BAL-27 build is primed to enhance the weapon's capabilities for long-range engagements. While mobility and handling are reduced when running the attachments below, both damage range and bullet velocity receive a significant boost. This grants you a great loadout for Resurgence and regular Battle Royal.
- VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor (Muzzle)
- Noctkill Long Barrel (Barrel)
- Kimura RYN-03 Vertical Grip (Underbarrel)
- 60 Round Mag (Magazine)
- Cronen Mini Pro (Optic)
Best Perk Package
- Double Time - Increases your tactical sprint duration, thus making up for the reductions in mobility made by many of the attachments for the BAL-27.
- Sleight Of Hand - Provides increased reload speeds. A must-use with the inclusion of the 60-Round Mag attachment.
- Quick Fix - A great Perk for kickstarting your health regeneration by eliminating an opponent or refilling your armor plates. Ideal for increasing your longevity, but can be traded for Tempered as well.
- Birdseye - Serves as a direct counter for players running Ghost. Capable of making it much easier to locate enemies who are revealed by UAVs.
Recommended Secondary
Picking a good Secondary can be tricky, as there are plenty of options to choose from. For Warzone specifically, it is recommended to equip an additional Primary weapon, and in this case, a Sniper or a Submachine Gun should prove sufficient. Running a Sniper Rifle will allow you to engage opponents from a distance, whereas an SMG will work great as a quick swap-to-weapon. The top picks for the Sniper category include the KATT-AMR and the XRK Stalker. However, the MORS Sniper Rifle is also a decent option to use for Season 3. For the Submachine category, top picks include the Striker, the WSP-Swarm, the HMR-9, and the RAM-9.
