How to unlock the JAK Slash in MW3 Season 5

The JAK Slash is the Aftermarket part unlock for Week 3 of MW3 Season 5. Here’s what you need to do to unlock it.

How to get the JAK Slash Aftermarket attachment in Modern Warfare 3 Season 5

In order to unlock the JAK Slash, you’ll first need to complete any five of the Weekly Challenges available to you. This can be done via playing MW3’s Multiplayer, Zombies, or Battle Royale modes. Each mode has a set of different challenges that you can pursue for the unlock. These challenges all count toward the required five, regardless of the game mode.

For the JAK Slash, I recommend completing all the necessary challenges in MW3’s Multiplayer mode, as the challenges there are super fast to finish and easy to do. There are several there that can be completed using one or two gun setups, which is highly convenient if you want to unlock it fast. Here are the ones I focused on.

• Get 25 Operator Hipfire Kills
• Get 20 Operator Kills with Silenced Weapons or Throwing Knives
• Get 10 Operator Hipfire Kills with Battle Rifles
• Get 30 Operator Kills shorty after Sprinting with SMGS
• Get 10 Operator Kills with the Gun-Butt of a Weapon

I used the Sidewinder Battle Rifle and the Supperi 46 SMG for all these challenges, only changing around their attachments as necessary. The process was rather short thanks to the overlap these challenges allow for.

How strong is the JAK Slash in Modern Warfare 3 Season 5?

The JAK Slash attachment functions similarly to how a melee attack works when you have a Throwing Knife equipped in your Lethal slot. This is the largest advantage for the part, considering you don’t need to waste a slot equipping a Breacher or Throwing Knife to get a one-hit kill melee attack. The attachment also gives you a small boost to your Movement Speed, Sprint Speed, and Vertical Recoil at the cost of a small reduction to your Hipfire Spread and Tac Stance Spread. The JAK Slash can also, uniquely be equipped as an underbarrel on weapons that normally don’t allow attachments of this type.

The largest downside to the JAK Slash is that it takes up your Underbarrel slot. For many weapons, this isn’t a big deal, but depending on what you’re looking for, this disadvantage may not be worth it. Overall, it’s a very solid attachment that will see some use depending on the gun it is equipped on, though I don’t expect it to be commonplace in the meta.
