Modern Warfare 3 Unleashes Makarov's Return: Double XP, Rewards, and Frenetic Action for the Thanksgiving Weekend

As the Thanksgiving holiday unfolds in the United States, Modern Warfare 3 surprises players with the unannounced Makarov's Return event, overlapping with the ongoing Double XP extravaganza from November 22 to November 27. In homage to the notorious villain Makarov and following the recent True Legends event, this new installment offers 11 enticing rewards, including weapon camo, calling card, emblem, weapon charm, double XP tokens, and stickers.

Unlike traditional challenges, Makarov's Return simplifies the journey by requiring players to accumulate XP through regular gameplay. The inclusion of the Nemesis Makarov operator skin further sweetens the deal, rewarding an extra 1,000 XP after each match. This unexpected event, live throughout November, adds an exciting twist to the Call of Duty experience.

Wondering how long the festivities last? Makarov's Return continues until the month's end, providing ample time for players to dive into the action.

To unlock the final prize, the Makarov weapon camo, players must amass just over 200,000 XP—an ambitious yet achievable goal, especially with the ongoing Double XP boost.

In conjunction with the event, Modern Warfare 3 introduces three thrilling playlists: Gun Game, 10v10 Mosh Pit, and Rust 24/7. This weekend promises not only doubled XP gains but also an immersive gameplay experience. The unconventional surprise element of Makarov's Return, coupled with the ongoing festivities, demonstrates Activision and Sledgehammer Games' commitment to keeping the Modern Warfare 3 community engaged and energized throughout the holiday season. Prepare for an action-packed weekend of surprises, rewards, and unparalleled Call of Duty excitement.
