Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone's Season 4 Reloaded update delivers a massive content drop, including new game modes, weapons, and exciting Zombie additions to Modern Warfare 3. Following the highly anticipated Season 4 launch earlier this month, and the recent unveiling of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, this mid-season update brings significant changes to both titles.
Activision's patch notes detail the additions: the Reclaimer 18 shotgun and Sledgehammer melee weapon, along with JAK Volkh and JAK Gunslinger aftermarket parts. A new Mutation mode removes tactical and lethal equipment from ground loot, replacing it with a DNA-based perk system. Modern Warfare 3 Zombies introduces Unstable Rifts, wave-based combat challenges rewarding insured weapon and schematic cooldown resets.
The meta is significantly altered. The Kar98k receives nerfs to damage range and bullet velocity, while controller aim assist is adjusted. Several previously dominant weapons, including the FJX Horus, Striker, Rival-9 SMGs, and MTZ 762, MCW, Holger 556, and MTZ 556 rifles, receive buffs.
