TAQ Evolvere LMG in MW3 and Warzone

The TAQ Evolvere has arrived in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone with the Season 1 Reloaded update, hoping to shake up the LMG meta against the likes of the Bruen, Pulemyot, TAQ Eradicator and more.

The TAQ weapons have consistently been in the meta for the last couple of years across both MW2 and MW3, be it multiplayer or Warzone.

Now, a new one has been added to the collection, with the TAQ Evolvere coming in Season 1 Reloaded of Modern Warfare 3.

Here’s how you can get the new weapon and start destroying opponents across multiplayer and battle royale.

Adding the TAQ Evolvere to your armory in MW3 and Warzone should be fairly easy: all you need to do is complete five of the Weekly Challenges in Week 7.

These are the weekly challenges across multiplayer, Warzone, and Zombies:

In the Season 1 Reloaded blog post, the devs described the TAQ Evolvere as “an advanced, multi-caliber LMG capable of firing 7.62 or 5.56 with minimal adjustments to the weapon. Versatile and exceptionally lethal in the right hands.”

This versatility could add an interesting element to the Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone meta if the gun is particularly strong, but only time will tell whether that’s the case.

The TAQ Evolvere isn’t the only new gun in the Season 1 Reloaded update, as the HRM-9 SMG is also added to the game as a Battle Pass unlock.

Elsewhere in the S1 Reloaded update, ranked play comes to Modern Warfare 3 as well as The Boys LTM, and the Champion’s Quest nukes was added to Warzone.
