Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare launching new Xbox content ahead of Reckoning PSN debut

An Advanced Warfare update scheduled for this week will add new weapons on Xbox One

CALL of Duty: Advanced Warfare fans are being treated to a little extra content while those users on PS4, PS3 and PC platforms get ready for the launch of the Reckoning DLC.

September 1 will see the release of a new set of weapons for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on Xbox One, while those on PS4 and PCs will have to wait around a month.
Sledgehammer Games announced the new pack earlier in August before holding back the release of the AK47, M16, & CEL-3 weapons, and the Royalty V3 variants until September 1.
Guns included in the new pack:

1. AK47 - The AK47 base weapon will be unlocked once you receive one of the five variants in a Supply Drop or Advanced Supply Drop.
2. M16 -  Like the AK47, the M16’s base weapon will be unlocked for use in Create a Class once you receive a variant in a Supply Drop or Advanced Supply Drop.
3. CEL-3 - From the Exo-Zombies storyline, the CEL-3 comes to multiplayer as a fully automatic directed energy shotgun, featuring a small delay between the first and second shot as the chambers on the CEL-3 turn, but if the trigger is held down after the 2nd shot it will have an increased fire rate.

Sledgehammer Games are also set to release the final set of Royalty Variant weapons this week, featuring another unique weapon stat change: an increase of range.
"Weapons in Advanced Warfare do a set amount of damage per shot up until a certain range where the damage starts dropping off," a Sledgehammer explains.
"This extension of range could help in situations where the enemy is just beyond the reach of the Elite variant the weapon is based on.
"Like the previous Royalty Variants, they will be available in both Supply Drops and Advanced Supply Drops on Xbox One."
