CoD: MW3 and Warzone Season 4: Reloaded Patch Notes Released

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone's Season 4 Reloaded update is live, delivering a massive wave of new content. This includes exciting new game modes, weapons, and a highly anticipated Zombies update for Modern Warfare 3. The update follows the recent Season 4 launch and the unveiling of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at the Xbox Games Showcase.

Activision's patch notes detail significant changes. Two new weapons—the Reclaimer 18 shotgun and the Sledgehammer melee weapon—arrive alongside JAK Volkh and JAK Gunslinger aftermarket parts. A new Mutation mode shakes things up by removing tactical and lethal equipment from ground loot, requiring players to collect DNA for perks. Modern Warfare 3 Zombies introduces Unstable Rifts, wave-based combat challenges rewarding insured weapon and schematic cooldown resets.

The meta will shift dramatically. The Kar98k, a recent addition that outperformed the MORS sniper, receives nerfs to damage range and bullet velocity. Controller aim assist adjustments also feature prominently. Conversely, several previously popular weapons receive buffs, including the FJX Horus, Striker, and Rival-9 SMGs, and the MTZ 762, MCW, Holger 556, and MTZ 556 rifles. The impact of these changes and the new weapons will be fascinating to observe.
