Call of Duty: MW3 and Warzone Release Season 4 Reloaded Patch Notes

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 feature. The update follows the recent Season 4 launch and the reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at the Xbox Games Showcase.

Activision's patch notes detail significant additions and adjustments. 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 removes tactical and lethal equipment, replacing them with DNA-based perks. Modern Warfare 3 Zombies introduces Unstable Rifts, wave-based combat challenges rewarding insured weapon and schematic cooldown resets.

The meta will shift dramatically due to weapon adjustments. The Kar98k receives nerfs to damage range and bullet velocity, while controller aim assist is also tweaked. Conversely, several previously popular weapons, including the FJX Horus, Striker, and Rival-9 SMGs, and the MTZ 762, MCW, Holger 556, and MTZ 556 rifles, receive buffs.
