Call of Duty’s Season Three for Modern Warfare 3 is shorter than most seasons, but it’s still got new stuff to grind. Season Three Reloaded is here.
Warzone is getting amped up with some new stuff in Season Three Reloaded, including the return of an incredibly powerful perk package from its past, a returning weapon from 10 years ago, and even more.
Read on below for all of the changes and new content coming to Warzone in Season Three Reloaded.
Warzone Season 3 Reloaded patch notes
This update is rather light on content for Warzone compared to previous updates, but there are still things to look forward to for fans of battle royale and Resurgence alike.
Weapon Prestige camos
A new camo, One Trick, has been added to Warzone and MW3. This is a Weapon Prestige camo, the first of one coming each season, that can be unlocked per weapon by earning 150,000 XP for that weapon.
Specialist Perk Package
The Specialist Perk Package returns in Warzone in this update. The fan-favorite from the original Warzone game turns you into a super-soldier with every possible Warzone perk active once you equip the rare loot drop.
If you are lucky enough to find and loot the Specialist package, here are all of the perks that you will have active at the same time:
- Perk slots one and two (all Perks active): Battle Hardened, Double Time, E.O.D., Focus, Irradiated, Mechanic, Mountaineer, Scavenger, Shrapnel, Sleight of Hand, Spotter, Strong Arm.
- Perk slot three (all Perks active): Cold-Blooded, Escapist, Payout, Primed, Quick Fix, Resupply, Stalker, Survivor, Tempered, Tracker.
- Perk slot four (all Perks active): Birdseye, Combat Scout, Flex, Ghost, High Alert, Resolute, Shrouded.
New assault rifle
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare gets its second gun in MW3 in this update, with the BAL-27 AR joining the MORS sniper rifle.
The classic gun “offers quick reloads and a unique firing mechanism whereby the initial four shots favor accuracy before the weapon kicks into a higher fire rate to finish the job and bring down your target fast,” according to Activision.
Weapon balancing and bug fixes
As always, a large-scale update in CoD means balancing for weapons to shake up the meta. This update is big on nerfs to close-range capabilities of assault rifles, which have universally had their hipfire nerfed. Better grab a good SMG.
Speaking of SMGs, the two big ones have been slightly nerfed, including the HRM-9 and RAM-9, while the Rival 9, WSP-9, and Striker have gotten tiny buffs. Other changes include a buff for the DG-58 LSW, a nerf for the Bruen Mk9, and a nerf for the powerful SOA Subverter.

Weapon Trade Station
Returning in this update is the Weapon Trade Station, an installation found around the map where you can trade your weapon in for one of a lower rarity, plus extra loot such as ammo, cash, or equipment.
New killstreak and Field Upgrade
The new Foresight killstreak can be found as floor loot and will show you every gas circle within the match so you can move to the end before it even begins. A new Field Upgrade, the Utility Box, will combine armor and ammo boxes together into one.
New playlists and events
Starting in Season Three Reloaded, a new infil event called Heavy Armor will appear at random. When this occurs, players will be able to equip one more armor plate in that match, for up to 200 total health.
Throughout the end of season three, new playlists will appear, including Loaded Resurgence and Rebirth Lockdown.
New store bundles
NBA star Devin Booker is just one of several new operator bundles coming to the store throughout the rest of the season, including some of the funkiest seen yet in CoD.
This article will be updated with more information once the Season Three Reloaded update is live on May 1.
