Call of Duty Updates with Patch for Season 4

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone's Season 4 Reloaded update delivers a massive content drop, including new game modes, weaponry, and a highly anticipated zombie mode for Modern Warfare 3. The update follows the recent Season 4 launch and the unveiling of the next Call of Duty title at the Xbox Games Showcase. This mid-season update from Sledgehammer Games and Infinity Ward introduces substantial changes to both titles.

Activision's patch notes detail the additions, including the Reclaimer 18 shotgun and the Sledgehammer melee weapon, alongside new JAK aftermarket parts. A novel Mutation mode removes tactical and lethal equipment from ground loot, requiring players to collect DNA for perks. Modern Warfare 3's zombie mode gains the Unstable Rifts feature, a wave-based challenge rewarding insured weapon and schematic cooldown resets.

The update significantly impacts the meta. The Kar98k, a recent addition that surpassed the MORS sniper, receives nerfs to its damage range and bullet velocity. Controller aim assist adjustments also feature prominently. Conversely, several previously dominant weapons, including popular Warzone SMGs (FJX Horus, Striker, Rival-9) and rifles (MTZ 762, MCW, Holger 556, MTZ 556), receive buffs. The interplay of new and adjusted weapons promises a dynamic shift in gameplay.
