Season One Reloaded is the next mid-season update set to shake up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. But while core MW3 multiplayer finally gets the long-awaited ranked update and Warzone gets a slew of new changes, it looks like it will be a light update for MW3 Zombies.

Given that MW3 Zombies, or MWZ, received a significant amount of changes to kick off season one back in December, it’s understandable that the mid-season update is nothing too groundbreaking. Still, CoD Zombies players will be treated to a new adversary as well as some new weapons.

Here is a full breakdown of the Season One Reloaded patch notes for MW3 Zombies.

Dokkaebi, the South Korean-born electronic warfare expert, will arrive in the Urzikstan Exclusion Zone with the launch of the Season One Reloaded update on Jan. 17.

Dokkaebi will attack Operators on sight from her fortress atop a skyscraper in Zaravan City, with “a fleet of self-programmed autonomous drone.” Players will have to contend with the drones, turrets, and a Wheelson just to reach her, and her elusive style will be hard to punish. Zaravan City is located in the southwest portion of the MW3 Zombies map, just on the border between the low-threat and medium-threat zones.

Players can earn “high-tier loot” by defeating Dokkaebi.

New weapons to use

Two new weapon additions coming to MW3 in Season One Reloaded will also be available in MW3 Zombies, either as insured weapons that players can deploy with or potentially as looted weapons.

  • TAQ Evolvere LMG: Multi-caliber LMG that is capable of firing 7.62 or 5.56 caliber ammunition. 100-round magazine. Effective against large waves of zombies and special zombies. Unlocked from weekly challenges.
  • HRM-9 SMG: Light 9mm submachine gun, perfect for run-and-gun playstyles. Effective in close-quarters situations like Aether Nests and Strongholds. Unlocked by completing an Armory Unlock challenge.

Other gameplay fixes, improvements, and changes

Two major quality-of-life improvements have been added to MW3 Zombies in the Season One Reloaded update. Players can now leave their squad, letting them go on their own if they accidentally queued with squad fill on, or if they are rescued by another squad. Players will also receive mission progression notifications during matches.

Here are some of the more significant changes and fixes made to the MW3 Zombies gameplay via the Season One Reloaded update.

  • Sentry Turrets are now EMP’d when shot by the Stormender during Terminus Outcomes.
  • Friendly Hell Hound pets will heal newly added squad members and will retain their name and level when traveling to the Dark Aether.
  • Cymbal Monkey duration increased from 8.5 to 10.5 seconds, and will now attract Hell Hounds.
