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 additions to the Zombies experience. The update follows the recent Season 4 launch and the reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at the Xbox Games Showcase.
This substantial update from Activision includes two new weapons: the Reclaimer 18 shotgun (available via Battle Pass) and the Sledgehammer melee weapon (unlocked through Week 5 Challenges). New JAK aftermarket parts, the Volkh and Gunslinger, are also introduced via weekly challenges. A new Mutation mode shakes things up by removing tactical and lethal equipment from ground loot, replacing them with a DNA-based perk system. Modern Warfare 3 Zombies gets a fresh wave-based challenge, "Unstable Rifts," rewarding players with cooldown resets on insured weapons and schematics upon completion.
The meta is set for a significant shift with weapon adjustments. The Kar98k receives nerfs to its damage range and bullet velocity, while several previously dominant weapons, including the FJX Horus, Striker, and Rival-9 SMGs, and several rifles, receive buffs.
