Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone's Season 4 Reloaded update delivers a massive content drop, including new game modes, weapons, and a highly anticipated Zombies mode expansion. The update follows the recent Season 4 launch and the unveiling of the next Call of Duty title at the Xbox Games Showcase. Activision's patch notes detail significant changes to Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone's gameplay.
Key additions include the Reclaimer 18 shotgun and the Sledgehammer melee weapon, alongside new JAK aftermarket parts. A new Mutation mode removes tactical and lethal equipment from ground loot, requiring players to collect DNA for perks. Modern Warfare 3 Zombies introduces Unstable Rifts, a wave-based challenge rewarding players with insured weapon and schematic cooldown resets.
The update significantly impacts the meta. The Kar98k sniper rifle receives nerfs to its damage range and bullet velocity, while controller aim assist has been adjusted. Conversely, several popular weapons from previous seasons, including the FJX Horus, Striker, and Rival-9 SMGs, and the MTZ 762, MCW, Holger 556, and MTZ 556 rifles, receive buffs.
The Season 4 Reloaded update introduces new maps like Incline, Das Gross, and Bitvela, along with a new G3T_H1GH3R course. New game modes include Mutation, Bit Party, Havoc, Headshots Only, and Blueprint Gunfight. Several limited-time events, such as Altered Strain, Retro Warfare, and Vacation Squad, are also planned.
Extensive patch notes cover numerous improvements and bug fixes across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. These include UI/UX enhancements, progression adjustments, weapon and attachment tweaks, map fixes, and killstreak modifications. Warzone specifically features the new Mutation Resurgence mode, changes to the Urzikstan map (Popov Power Meltdown), and balance adjustments to various weapons. The update aims to refresh the gameplay experience, offering a significant amount of new content and gameplay adjustments for both Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone players.
