A new midseason update is arriving in Call of Duty: Warzone, which means it’s time to drop in to Urzikstan, Rebirth Island, or any other map within the BR game.
Season Four Reloaded adds a new weapon and some more interesting tidbits for Warzone, including a special new final end circle that will remind players of some high-octane moments from action movies in the past.
Warzone Season 4 Reloaded patch notes
Read on below for the new content coming to Warzone in Season Four Reloaded for MW3.
Weapon balancing
Will the Kar98k and Superi 46 continue to dominate the meta? As is the case with all big updates in CoD, Season Four Reloaded’s patch contains a slew of weapon balancing to nerf some OP guns and buff some that need the love.
This patch saw many, many buffs for several weapons, including assault rifles like the MCW, BAL 27, Holger 556, and MTZ 556, and submachine guns such as the FJX Horus, Striker, and Rival-9, but the biggest change was a nerf to the Kar98k. The controversial C4 lethal was also nerfed in a big way.
For the full list of weapon changes, check out the patch notes on the CoD website.
New shotgun
The Reclaimer 18 shotgun is available as part of a special declassified sector of the battle pass. Once its challenges are completed, you can unlock the new weapon, which is a new version of the SPAS-12 from previous CoD games.
There’s also a Sledgehammer melee weapon, but the Reclaimer 18 is one you want to unlock in case it becomes the new close-range meta.
Popov Power changes
The Popov Power POI has been changed in the aftermath of a huge explosion, changing the area in different ways.
“The DNA Bomb has detonated at the Popov Power Plant, opening new pathways around the point of interest and covering the vicinity in a toxic chemical agent,” Activision said. “Exercise caution, though the risk of exposure to the green sludge content much of the vicinity appears to have lessened. You should now focus on getting in close to explore the outcome of this major attack.”
Mutation Mode
A Warzone variant, Mutation Resurgence and Mutation Buy Back will remove all tacticals and lethals from ground loot, and players will instead gather DNA from around the map to enhance their abilities.
Special abilities in the mode include a Bioshield, Mutant Leap, Sludge Sling, Mutant Vision, Toxic Stim Cloud, and more.
Runaway Train public event
At the end of every Urzikstan game, there’s a “small chance” that the endgame will take place on a runaway train in this new public event. By the time the sixth gas circle arrives, you’ll know if it’s coming so you have time to hop on.
“Prepare for a wild ride; operators with memories of ‘Slay Ride Resurgence’ know what to expect,” Activision said. “Seek immediate refuge close to the train, which cannot be controlled! Fortunately, the circle of gas (the safe zone) remains over the moving train until the end of the match, forcing squads to battle on or around the careening carriages, though the train itself slows down enough to provide access, as well as unique takedown opportunities.”
Special ground loot ‘Redacted’ weapons
Special “Redacted” weapons can now be found in certain areas around the map, either in Loot Hot Zones or many of Urzikstan’s bunkers. These special weapons can be found with a whopping 10 attachments on them, so they’ll most likely be very powerful.
