Call of Duty Advanced Warfare update: Devs go back in time with latest content offering

The Advanced Warfare update includes new gear following the release of August's weapons changes

CALL of Duty: Advanced Warfare's latest content update has seen developers Sledgehammer Games go back in time for some inspiration.

Having announced their plans to create a new class of gear, a fresh collection of Legendary items are being launched today on Xbox One.
This set of eight pieces can be unlocked using Supply Drops and Advanced Supply Drop, with each Item highlighted purple in the Armoury so they'll be no mistaking that they hold the highest redemption value in the game.
The range of new gearsets make up historical outfits, Spartan, Mardi Gras, Desert Patrol, Shortwave and Conquistador.
It follows the release of three new weapons, with one of them getting a buff following fan feedback, all weapons and gearsets are available on Xbox first, with the newly introduced M16 on Xbox One boasting:

• ADS Speed
• Max Damage/Range
• Less time between bursts.
