Call of Duty Players Notice New Shotgun in Season 5 Trailer

A new trailer for Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War Season 5 dropped a few days ago, and it shows some interesting hints at this season's narrative. Eagle-eyed viewers have noticed what appears to be a new shotgun at the 1:43 mark in the trailer. It's difficult to make out a lot of details, but it seems to be a previously unseen sawed-off shotgun. An image was shared by the @ModernWarzone Twitter account, and readers that want to check it out for themselves can do so in the trailer located at the top of this page.

Possible new shotgun spotted in the Season 5 trailer for #BlackOpsColdWar and #Warzone ? https://t.co/hKTUiyHNrR

Season 5 of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will add a new mode focused on double agents. The trailer above focuses on that in a major way, which is where that new shotgun weapon comes into play! The mode seems to take some inspiration from Among Us, and it sounds like it could be a lot of fun. The narrative trailer is already exciting enough on its own, but the fact that it might hint at a future weapon in the game makes it even better.

Four new weapons have been revealed for Season 5 thus far: the EM2, TEC-9, Marshal, and the Cane. The shotgun seen above doesn't match anything we've seen from the Season 5 roadmap, however. Activision loves to include little hints and teases like this one, so perhaps this is something we'll see sometime during the season. Fortunately, Season 5 is set to kick-off on August 14th, so hopefully we'll get some kind of definitive answer soon!
