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 unveiling of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
This Reloaded update introduces 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 added via weekly challenges. A new Mutation mode shakes things up by removing tactical and lethal equipment from ground loot, replacing it with a DNA-based perk system. Modern Warfare 3 Zombies receives the Unstable Rifts feature—a wave-based challenge rewarding cooldown resets on insured weapons and schematics.
Significant weapon balancing changes impact the meta. The Kar98k receives nerfs to damage range and bullet velocity, while popular SMGs (FJX Horus, Striker, Rival-9) and rifles (MTZ 762, MCW, Holger 556, MTZ 556) receive buffs. Controller aim assist has also been adjusted.
