Call of Duty fans stumbled upon a hint of nostalgia in the MW3 season two Reloaded update. In addition to new game modes and limited-time events, a familiar face from the past—the classic Red Dot Sights—was amongst the patch notes.

Seeing the Classic Red Dot back in action made me recall fond Call of Duty memories. From Black Ops 2 to CoD4, it’s been my staple choice in close-range combat. While the latest generations of Red Dot also deliver in terms of performance, it’s hard to beat the nostalgic feelings CoD fans get for legacy content. This time, the Classic Red Dot is back under the name of Quarters Classic Reflex Optic. Here’s how to get it.

You can get the Quarters Classic Reflex Optic in MW3 by unlocking the SOA Subverter and leveling it up to eight. Once you achieve level eight with the SOA Subverter, you’ll unlock the Quarters Classic Reflex Optic in MW3 and Warzone.

During this process, you’ll need to complete season two challenges, but there’s a chance you might have dodged the entire grind. While discussing how the Classic Optic was back in MW3 on Reddit, some players reported they had automatically unlocked the attachment without having access to the SOA Subverter. For this reason, I’d recommend going over your attachments before starting the SOA Subverter grind. You might be able to jump straight into action with the latest Red Dot Sights if you’re lucky.

In my case, the attachment wasn’t pre-unlocked, so I had to do some questing first. In the meantime, I also got to test the best SOA Subverter loadout and class setups in MW3, so the journey wasn’t for nothing. I ended up liking the SOA Subverter, which might make frequent appearances in my loadouts.
