Decimate your foes with the animated “Ailed Caress BlackCell” Holger 556 Weapon Blueprint with Cellular Corruption Tracers and the “Necrosis” Death Effect. The weapon comes equipped with the JAK Backsaw Kit Aftermarket Part granting a high-capacity drum magazine emitting clouds of green vapor and a double barrel for inflicting maximum damage.

Transform with BlackCell’s Dupe and Copy

6fef95994bae1ba52d686f9066dbdec44fe90f40.jpg


Draped in black, face unseen but for two glowing green eyes, the hooded specters Dupe (SpecGru) and Copy (KorTac) resemble petrified death. A black mist rises from their bodies, tubes of green fluid running up under their cowls. The Operators’ unique power is revealed when using the “Identity Theft” Finishing Move, temporarily granting them the look of their victims.

Dupe and Copy arrive with a cadre of infected BlackCell Operators built to survive in the harshest environments while pursuing their next target.

Purchase the Battle Pass: Instantly Unlock Nautilus, Hammer

BlackCell Owners: Get the “Hammer BlackCell” alternate Skin for a flashier gold and black look, his face mask zipped on tight spewing green fumes out the front.

This modernized version of a WWII bolt-action rifle is powerful and accurate. High damage output with a slow rate of fire.

The classic rifle returns, inflicting massive damage on impact with one-shot eliminations to the chest and above on unarmored targets in effective range.

079b2be2ba92ab3a8607ad073abd3059ce93c560.jpg

BlackCell variant
comes with Cellular Corruption Tracers and “Necrosis” Death Effect.

This Weapon Blueprint based on the new Season 4 Marksman Rifle favors stealthy, aggressive play with improvements to aim down sights and aim walking speed paired with a 2.5x optic for zeroing in on mid-ranged targets.

Nanometer — FJX Horus SMG (Sector 17, BlackCell Alternate Option)

BlackCell variant
comes with Cellular Corruption Tracers and “Necrosis” Death Effect.

724fdbe33ab383396a66cff0dea9c2cc4f973316.jpg

Something’s wrong with Soap. The elite Operator’s eyes glow red over a deeply scarred face emitting blue flames over the head. The sleeves of his uniform are pushed up, revealing forearms of an unnatural hue. Of all the infected Operators this season, this one rules them all.

BlackCell Additional Skin: Soap’s mask is up in the BlackCell version, yellow flames rising from his head. The veins in his forearms glow and he’s swapped the gray digital camo pattern for black with gold accents.

Continuing the promise to deliver “over 12 all-new Core 6v6 Maps in our seasons,” Season 4 features three brand new maps offering diverse combat areas, as well as a Das Haus Vortex variant that’s certain to Gross you out….

Tokyo (Launch)

Brand-New, Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized

77ecf775dc8ca08ca0621b903f6bca7d254be5b8.jpg


Experience Tokyo nightlife in this mid-sized Multiplayer map featuring late night shopping, entertainment, and accommodations for the weary traveler. Battle for the map’s major power positions, the Hotel and Manga buildings facing one another over the main road. Except for these two locations, the fight stays on ground level.

Close-ranged Loadouts excel in the Arcade and Center Courtyard along the top of the map where kiosks and a sitting area obstruct views across the lane. Areas like the Hotel and Metro Station make for strong defensive points when battling on the far ends of the map. Use them to withstand enemy attacks until it’s safe to move forward again.

Paris (Launch)

Brand-New, Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized

324cc5a6dbcb33cff4aaa73f43b0980c170fa701.jpg


Head to the City of Lights for a rendezvous with the enemy, fighting across this mid-sized map dominated by the central Police Station and Gallery. Navigate the surrounding streets to remain on ground level or take the battle to either of the two main buildings. Don’t underestimate the map’s smaller interior spaces, the Bookstore and Shop. These areas provide overhead cover in a pinch and are generally less conspicuous than the large center buildings.

Fight around an L-shaped cubicle in the Police Station’s main office or swing through the cell block and lobby. The Gallery presents a tighter layout with exhibits branching off into separate hallways. There has been some kind of break in, marked by a blast in the Police Station wall by the cell block and another leading into the Gallery. Ambulances and police cars provide much needed cover when moving on the roads.

Incline (Mid-Season)

Brand-New, Core, 6v6, Medium Sized

e243b1016e2675caa68f2eb7b9efef7cc07f37a4.jpg


Deploy to an isolated research outpost in the mountains of Urzikstan on this mid-sized snow map based in and around the main transport facility. Climb up on the red container or the low roof along the top path to get over your enemies and use objects places around the main facility to climb up into the building.

Access the funicular’s lower carriage for a vantage point over the bottom lane. Be careful not to slip down the mountainside when exiting the carriage. Generally, mid-ranged Loadouts will perform best along the outer perimeter while close-ranged weapons reign in the interior locations (the main facility plus the smaller buildings near each starting spawn).

Das Gross (Mid-Season)

New (Variant), Core, 6v6, Small-Sized

c222b050abd715b405d033907c5a2b6085933ebf.jpg


An ominous orange mist hangs in the air. Revolting preternatural tendrils and flapping tentacles have enveloped the high-rise construction site formerly known as Das Haus, snaking into every corner and transforming it into a nightmarish alien madness. Look for Das Gross to be added to the Vortex map Playlist.

Multiplayer Modes: Demolish, Cause Havoc, Get Cranked

c2eb3303a25ae9362ee337aafc1834da378b092e.jpg


There’s not only DNA Bombs to worry about this Season, as Demolition is finally back, with more defusing opportunities than ever before! Adding to this is a Cranked variation, the arena-shooter inspired Havoc, and a Killstreak-focused Playlist modifier, all coming before the explosive mid-season update and even more Modes.

Game Mode: Demolition (Launch)

e1840a52727370f4019196a626980a8f752e2bd6.jpg


One of the finest tactical game modes in Call of Duty is finally back! Appearing for the first time since Season 3 of Modern Warfare (2019) this round-based objective mode has similarities to Search & Destroy, with teams alternating between attacking and defending two bomb sites. However, unlike S&D, respawns are enabled and attacking players always spawn with a bomb, and defuses – ninja or otherwise – don’t end the round. This leads to highly tactical engagements – and pandemonium – as teams converge on bomb sites and pressure the opposition.

Win a round of Demolition as the attacking team by destroying both bomb sites before the timer ends. Take out one of the sites, and you add extra time to the game clock, allowing you to concentrate on the second bomb location. Win a round as the defending team by protecting one or both bomb sites until the timer ends. If a bomb is planted, the match timer pauses, and running out the timer is also an option, though defusing the bomb is of paramount importance.

Game Mode: Hyper Cranked (Launch)

13b1e424abf34db779c04b0ad0712fdc0b7a8860.jpg


This twisted spin on traditional Team Deathmatch gets even more frantic with this “Hyper” variant. For the uninitiated, Cranked pressures you into chaining kills, eliminating enemy opponents as often as you wish, but within a specific amount of time before a countdown reaches zero, or you’ll explode. Expect a faster reload, weapon swap, and quicker movement speed after your first kill. Points are awarded for every kill, meaning getting kills, staying alive longer, earning more points, and finally claiming victory with your team is the plan in Cranked.

How does Hyper Cranked up the stakes even more? Simple; you spawn into a match already Cranked, with the countdown running! Chain kills, stay alive, and don’t dawdle!

Game Mode: Havoc (Mid-Season)

41b4f6d899d82ceb27cf3c2cb15c87df3f87eba4.jpg


Eliminate the enemy while experiencing changing gameplay modifiers throughout the match.

Last seen in Season 5 of Modern Warfare II (2022), Havoc is a Core Multiplayer mode inspired by classic arena-shooter gameplay, with additional enhancements courtesy of a random selection of chaos-inducing modifiers. Expect gameplay to be consistently entertaining, fast-paced, and never the same.

The action begins with the Team Deathmatch ruleset in effect, with the first team to reach 75 points awarded the win. However, Killstreaks (except those awarded with a modifier) are disabled, and a variety of match-changing modifiers come into play!

Once the action starts, you’ll notice a series of five circular icons under your map compass, at the top of the screen. These indicate the modifiers currently in play. After a two and a half-second countdown, your first modifier is awarded. Then, once either team has reached a score multiplier of 12 kills (12, 24, 36 and 48), another new modifier is added to the match, affecting both teams immediately, from the following modifier pool:
  • Ammo Feeder: Auto reload after you kill an enemy.
  • Boots off the Ground: Low gravity.
  • Camera Shift: Third-person mode.
  • Chain Reaction: Sticky Grenades launched on kill.
  • Charged Up: Gain Cranked on kills
  • Equipment Restock: Equipment is refilled on kills.
  • Eyes On: Advanced UAV is always active.
  • Gun Runner: Random gun on kill.
  • Hero Smash: Explosive landing from an elevated position.
  • Hot Shot: Crossbows only, Molotov bolts.
  • Lucky Three: Every three kills gives you a random Killstreak.
  • One Tap: Headshots kill with one bullet.
  • Snapshot Killer: Launch a snapshot grenade (and ping pulse) on kill.
  • System Reroll (Fifth Modifier only): Full reroll of all active modifiers.
Game Mode: Headshots Only (Mid-Season)

986ddcc8c58d42fa79c0855eefbfb74440b9382a.jpg


Lock the target, aim at the cranium, and fire.

This team mode, played on a small moshpit of maps, is for skilled players that can demonstrate impressive aim. Using Team Deathmatch rules, augmented by the fact that only headshots count when eliminating other players; no damage is dealt, and no team score progression is possible unless your cranium-aiming is true.

With only one place to aim at, loadouts become of prime importance, and there are no limits on the weapons, Perks, Equipment, or Killstreaks you can take with you. Note that thrown Lethals like Knives or Stars can only deal damage if they strike the head, grenades are only effective if they damage the head, and you may want to leave Melee weapons back at the Lobby.

Playlist Modifiers: All Game Modes (Launch, In-Season)

a764bae2335e1d7ef7ff5ddb1febda6017522d2e.jpg


Look for Playlist updates that indicate the presence of certain gameplay modifiers, like the Minefield Mode in Season 3. Expect some playlists to have active Killstreak, or Event-based modifiers which may include one or more of the following. These will apply to any Multiplayer Mode you are currently playing within the Playlist:

Looping Killstreaks: Streaks reset fully once you reach the upper end of your current streaks, allowing you to earn unlimited streaks in one life.

Earning Killstreaks: You receive points added to your streak if you slay an enemy player with your Killstreak, or Assist in killing a player with your Killstreak.

Killstreak Cache: When a player is eliminated, they drop a cache containing a percentage of their earned Killstreak progress. Grab the cache and add it to your own progress!

Critical Countdown Event Items: During the forthcoming Critical Countdown Event, expect enemies to drop [[REDACTED]] in-game items that can be collected to more quickly progress the Event.

Game Modes: Additional Content (In-Season, Mid-Season)

1167946d65e6c251e8d25aa87614842891540332.jpg


With the arrival of Das Gross, expect another Vortex Mosh Pit, and other as-yet to be unveiled content that will have you in bits. Plus, summon your best buds as the Synthwave Sunset makes another limited-time appearance with the revamped return of G3T_H1GH. Finally, expect Mutation Mode to fully embrace the forthcoming Countdown Event in a variety of surprising ways….

New Perks and Equipment (Launch and In-Season)

ed2198084ab6d54958de479733536431bd8d9db5.jpg


Killstreak content rules the new Perk and Equipment features for Season 4, with a new Mission Control Vest allowing for rapid Killstreak acquirement. There’s a Compression Plate to aid in health regeneration, and four new Killstreaks to claim, including the game-changing DNA Bomb!

New Perk (Vest): Mission Control Vest (Launch)

Streak Specialist.
  • Equipment Slots (6): Tactical, Lethal, Field Upgrade, Gloves, Gear (2)
  • Reduces kills required by 1 and score required by 125 for Killstreaks.
  • Earn 1 kill or 125 score for every 2 Kill Assists or Cross Fire Assists.

New Perk (Gear): Compression Plate (Launch)

New Killstreak: Intelligent Munitions Systems (I.M.S.) (Launch)

bb6fa68dd86ceca14a040412325debbd4525b27b.jpg


Kills: 7

Score: 875

The Intelligent Munitions System is loaded with smart explosives that eliminate enemy personnel and vehicles within range. When triggered, it will eject an explosive upwards, which then locks onto its target and propels towards them.

New Killstreak: Loitering Munition (Launch)

160ed34df92d99bd63c25cc2d5b2186a6706c4c9.jpg

New Killstreak: DNA Bomb (Launch)

861f38a964ff258ca080b6c8f8572e0526e7c046.jpg


Kills: [[REDACTED]]

The discovery of a DNA Bomb Popov Power in Urzikstan is a taste of the tremendous power this brings to a Multiplayer match. The tremendous explosion can be triggered providing you’ve acquired enough consecutive kills without dying. Once you’re granted the DNA Bomb you can detonate it, eliminating all players on the opposing team. Unlike the MGB, the DNA Bomb does not conclude the match.

CONTENT SUMMARY (Mid-Season)
  • Learn the secret entrances to the Unstable Rift and face intense waves of zombie hordes until every undead entity is slain, or your team is overwhelmed!
Unstable Rift (Mid-Season)

0327a7b110bbbadc8316ca985d78816959b0ae71.jpg


Join other members of Operation: Deadbolt during Season 4 Reloaded to investigate numerous and violent anomalies lurking within what Sergei Ravenov has termed an “Unstable Rift.” Deploy to the Exclusion Zone, and undertake a focused race and challenge to access the entrance into an Unstable Rift. Time is of the essence, as only the first squad to reach a Rift and vote to enter it will be transported into it. Thankfully, several entrances to the Unstable Rift can appear per match.

6382cfad5d0797f23a7ed6aacb757c2dd550bda9.jpg


This allows you to return to an undisclosed portion of a Rift you may have previously visited. However, on this occasion, a large horde of zombies and other grotesque horrors attempt to assault you almost immediately, and intense waves of enemies continuously swarm you until the hordes are slain, or your team is overwhelmed.

Clearing an Unstable Rift of its nightmarish denizens does offer benefits; all weapon and schematic cooldowns are immediately wiped and refreshed if you succeed, and if you’re a glutton for havoc, you can repeat this activity as many times as your squad can successfully enter an Unstable Rift.

CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE OVERVIEW (WZ)

d8378a0d51514c5784d1abffd887ee68c8f2f1d3.jpg


CONTENT SUMMARY
  • Urzikstan’s bunkers are opening up in new and intriguing ways, and after a DNA Bomb discovery, Popov Power seems unchanged. For the moment.
  • Expect an additional secondary exit hatch when exploring the Bunkers across Urzikstan, along with additional Gulag silo variants, offering new ways to approach your 1v1 duel for redeployment.
  • Buy Back Royale Solos? Specialist and Tac Sprint Perks on Urzikstan? A new UTV? Hot Zones and Redacted Weapons? Call of Duty: Warzone Challenges? Battle Royale is back in a big way!
Ranked Play Resurgence continues across Rebirth Island, with new Skill Division rewards to grind for.

Overview: Current Map Intel and Updates

a25e6fa7d8cc54ba47eda7b39df22370b73019fc.jpg


Combat across Urzikstan, Rebirth Island, Fortune’s Keep and Vondel continues, and though no major points of interest appear to have changed, the discovery of a mysterious DNA Bomb at Popov Power leaves you and your squad little time to discover incoming threats.

This truth may not be immediately obvious, but as the season progresses, additional discoveries may cause a significant shift in your plans….

Urzikstan Bunker Update (Launch, In-Season)

fa0dc1997e13312a00038c03f41e1bf90fea5f4c.jpg


Increased activity across Urzikstan seems to be focused on the Bunkers dotted across the warzone. After keycard access is obtained, an expanded interior may be accessible, along with high-level loot and additional intel regarding the location of [[REDACTED]]. Secondary Bunker exit hatches are likely to be active, allowing your squad multiple methods of escape. However, not all Bunkers appear to be accessible. Further investigation, and great care, is needed to solve this conundrum.

Urzikstan Gulag Update (Launch)

c045309c2436bdecb078ccfb63135da0f9ff70c5.jpg


Additional Gulag silos have opened up during Urzikstan Battle Royale matches, and recon teams have confirmed four different variants. Expect to randomly drop into one of them, offering you new ways to approach your 1v1 duel for redeployment.

e845318ec780f5aed9c9fbefc8ee4942d1e60e84.jpg


Gulag “S”: Stacked equipment and L-shaped plywood walls with an S-shaped central wall over the circular floor grate.

f256438b2616d867aa106929a2b1596503eceb67.jpg


Gulag “2”: A three-panel curved wall, stacked equipment against two walled sections, and two curved inner walls above the circular floor grate.

cfd10824d2309c9810c861772dcfb73a40ac98a6.jpg


Gulag “3”: Stacked equipment against two walled sections, with concrete L-shaped walls around the central circular floor grate.

d0b3af38085c6fc8edf0a30ccdbefa37d614a0ad.jpg


Gulag “8”: A rectangular concrete barrier wall outside long central section around the central circular floor grate with one plywood wall sprayed with a blue “8”.

Call of Duty: Warzone Modes and Public Events

Returning Mode: Buy Back Royale Solos (Urzikstan, Launch)


03a4ce7eff371311af1c6b1cc2d0b42f20460568.jpg


Money is life. Earn enough Cash to redeploy automatically. Last team standing wins.

Being down doesn’t mean being out, providing you’ve got the Cash for a revive. Following the regular Battle Royale rules, this Urzikstan-only mode disables the Gulag, and instead allows you to return to a match after dying, along with a removal of some of your collected Cash reserves. Multiple redeployments are available until the final moments of a match (around the same time the Gulag closes in regular Battle Royale), allowing for a more risky, aggressive strategy and higher eliminations if you’ve the funds for it.

Additional Modes (In-Season)

0c79f80d2a3f025031553892a3689bc40d8e617b.jpg


SpecGru and KorTac Operators across multiple infil zones should expect additional [[REDACTED]] and a number of [[REDACTED]] modes as the Season progresses. Exercise extreme caution as you investigate [[REDACTED]], one step closer to the truth.

New Feature: Call of Duty: Warzone Rewards (Launch)

Modern Warfare III: Complete Season 4 intel, part 2

blog continued from part 1

Additional Access Feature: Specialist Perk (Urzikstan, Launch)

87662ed7b18914048328298db704c813c4c8afcb.jpg


Operators dropping into Urzikstan can now obtain the legendary and most prized Perk possession, the Specialist Perk suitcase! In addition to the default Perks available to all Operators (Tac Pads, Commando Gloves, Quick-Grip Gloves, Climbing Boots, and Overkill), this rare ground loot grants you the advantages of the following 29 additional Perks, but only for the remainder of the match:
  • Perk Slots 1 and 2 (all Perks active): Battle Hardened, Double Time, E.O.D., Focus, Irradiated, Mechanic, Mountaineer, Scavenger, Shrapnel, Sleight of Hand, Spotter, Strong Arm.
  • Perk Slot 3 (all Perks active): Cold-Blooded, Escapist, Payout, Primed, Quick Fix, Resupply, Stalker, Survivor, Tempered, Tracker.
  • Perk Slot 4 (all Perks active): Birdseye, Combat Scout, Flex, Ghost, High Alert, Resolute, Shrouded.
New Feature: Tactical Sprint Boots (Urzikstan, Launch Window)

Urzikstan-based Operators can look forward to infiltrating any of the accessible bunkers to obtain the Tactical Sprint Boots Perk, which will give you an unlimited increase in your Tactical Sprint speed, and a reduction in fall damage.

New Vehicle: Polaris RZR (Urzikstan, Launch)

e521e4ad37ca9ca186a31075d0d964f0b307816c.jpg


The ultimate combination of power, strength, and control has arrived in Call of Duty: Warzone! The Polaris RZR Pro R, a real-world side-by-side UTV offering immediate acceleration, nimble handling, and rugged durability is available as a Land Vehicle within Urzikstan. Appearing as “Polaris RZR” on your Tac-Map, this side-by-side differs from the current in-game UTV as it offers a tighter turning circle and handling, three seats and improved fuel economy. Currently available in Urzikstan in any color as long as it’s gray.

New Feature: Hot Zones (Mid-Season)

356e7a1ce24ab62e9ae406bfcc8f61870451bbf9.jpg


Designated points of interest on the map may identified as “Hot Zones.” Get there before the enemy and you’ll be rewarded with higher tier loot than normal. Just be prepared for a vicious battle over who gets to claim this enhanced gear!

New Feature: [[REDACTED]] Weapons (Mid-Season)

d2faa73983c3c69a9e833c6e85201b4feb01c7b8.jpg


By the time you reach mid-season, you may be wishing for impressive and rare weaponry to deal with enhanced threats across the battlefield. Fortunately, a number of Redacted Weapons, each found within a Hot Zone or Bunker, have been confirmed as Ground Loot to find. Gather these powerful weapons with up to 10 attachments (as denoted above your weapon icon) and finish your foes with the firepower you need!

New Public Event: Runaway Train (Mid-Season)

0eca6bb9dc69c1be8ac5cf8b9695e29255106b45.jpg


Drop into Urzikstan engagements at mid-season, and there’s a small chance your end game occurs on a runaway train. Expect confirmation of this sometime around the sixth gas circle where the Public Event may be announced. Prepare for a wild ride; Operators with memories of “Slay Ride Resurgence” know what to expect. Seek immediate refuge close to the train, which cannot be controlled! Fortunately, the circle of gas (the safe zone) remains over the moving train until the end of the match, forcing squads to battle on or around the careening carriages, though the train itself slows down enough to provide access, as well as unique takedown opportunities.

Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4 Ranked Play Resurgence (Launch Window)

Proceed with caution as a maelstrom of experimental chemicals enters the Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile atmosphere, threatening to throw everything off balance. For Season 4, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will feature new limited time modes, BR map changes, free weekly events, alongside new bundles and store offerings in sync with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone.


Multiplayer: Core 6v6 Map: Crash (Launch)

Remastered, Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized

6cfa814ce44b78cf8f5631bf7d9dd5443f696d8d.jpg


A compact, fan-favorite multiplayer map, check your six and clear the corners as you drop into a town square recently ruined by a crash-landed helicopter. Surrounded by alleyways, tight corners and corridors, and a variety of buildings with upper floors and windows to add verticality to your firefights, expect face-paced combat. This is based on a version of Crash from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019).

Verdansk Map Update: Helicopter Crash (Launch)

2b2d764048f8199c6290882cc80d4f5e48819c15.jpg


A series of helicopters carrying top-secret cargo have been shot down somewhere in Verdansk. Recent recon from the crash site itself indicates dangerous parts and technology from a bio-lab are scattered across the area. Proceed with caution as this toxic debris may contain unnatural elements dangerous to humans.

Rebirth Island Map Update: Chemical Storage Units (Launch)

77a969839c1706a7cda996e5573db203edb17a7f.jpg


Recently, a large cargo ship has docked at the port on Rebirth Island, and imagery confirms the vessel was carrying multiple toxic container racks. This classified bio-tech cargo and other associated technology should be considered dangerous, as nefarious forces may look to transport them to parts unknown within the island itself.

b65aa5a7455ce0ce513ee39226e95df9d690bcd6.jpg


This Team Deathmatch variant is here for a limited time only and comes with a Killstreak focus. Instead of accruing Killstreaks in the usual manner, you’re awarded a random Killstreak for every three enemies you consecutively eliminate in a single life. Prepare for chaos!

Battle Royale: Buyers’ Royale Mode (LTM, Launch)

Mobile Royale arrives with a Cash-based twist. Throughout the match, players can swiftly make purchases via an on-screen Cloud Buy Station, so no more fighting over coveted Buy Stations. These quickly accessible Cloud Buy Stations include powerful weapons that aren’t normally found in loot caches, and downed teammates to keep your squad in the fight. The last team standing wins.

New Feature: Toxic Barrels (Verdansk, Rebirth Island, Launch)

Weapons Detail: Four New Armaments (MWIII, MWZ, WZ, WZM)

6e2f84d2f4b696278ac94c8fb3d86e7fb1a8ea68.jpg


Welcome two old friends back into your arsenal. A new Submarine Gun and legendary Marksman Rifle are available for free in the Battle Pass at the start of Season 4, with a heavyweight Sledgehammer and the shotgun you’ve been waiting for coming to Season 4 Reloaded.

Superi 46 (Submachine Gun, Launch, Battle Pass Sector 6)

Levels: 21, Battle Pass Blueprint (Sector 20)

02b57270147139761c33624ef801c9a1f8d6e37a.jpg


This pistol-caliber carbine chambered in 4.6x30mm is designed to give impressive stopping power with a skeletonized, lightweight frame. Exceptionally adaptable, this weapon can be modified to excel in most combat scenarios.

As you’d expect given the size of the caliber, the Superi 46 is impressively impactful at closer ranges, with 30 rounds in the chamber and 90 in reserve. However, this SMG offers accuracy to mid-range and above-average recoil control, delivering practicality as well as the firepower you need for most circumstances.

Kar98k (Marksman Rifle, Launch, Battle Pass Sector 5)

Levels: 16, Battle Pass Blueprint (Sector 15)

4bd3018682a2d38113b4303f624b3863298d285a.jpg


This modernized version of a WWII bolt-action rifle is powerful and accurate. High damage output with a slow rate of fire.

Last seen in Call of Duty: Vanguard and found in the MWIII Marksman Rifle Loadout category after unlocking it in the Battle Pass, this archaic-looking rifle with only five rounds before a reload, and ten rounds in reserve, may get overlooked by the uninitiated. Veteran players, however, know this weapon is arguably the hardest-hitting and accurate long-range rifle there is, offering quick ADS speed, massive damage, limited flinch, small but functional iron sight, and rapid takedown potential no matter how far away your foe is.

Reclaimer 18 (Shotgun, Mid-Season)

Levels: 15

dbedc25a0af18aa56a36d4e63c378d421ecdfcce.jpg


Veteran Call of Duty players may know this heavy-hitting, legendary 12-gauge shotgun by another name, and at mid-season you’ll be able to empower your arsenal with this classic slide-action shotgun that packs a rapid and powerful punch. Last seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, this new reimagined variant offers a base of eight semi-automatic rounds with 16 in reserve.

Sledgehammer (Melee Weapon, Mid-Season)

565d907f1456b5b6f586e58335ed52ad75f69898.jpg


Levels: 6

Smack some heads with this hammer claw bar Melee weapon.

This bludgeoning behemoth isn’t designed for driving nails into wood, with a 20-pound head forged from carbon steel, beveled so the weapon doesn’t chip when striking, this monster of a melee weapon can inflict massive blunt force damage quickly, knock a foe back with a pole butt, or cause more monumental damage after a brief pause and a swing. Crack some heads with the Sledgehammer.

Eight New Aftermarket Parts (Launch, In-Season, MWIII, MWZ, WZ, WMZ)

b1b71e53117dd86c8ce6cacb141fd199324db885.jpg


Another eight new Aftermarket Parts are confirmed for Season 4, with most unlockable via a Weekly Challenge. Take your favorite weapon, or dust off an armament from your MWII gun collection, and slot in an interesting, esoteric, or downright bizarre modification. Hoping to chamber your M4 Assault Rifle in .50 Cal? Then crack open the JAK Harbinger Kit, the first Weekly Challenge reward! This season’s Aftermarket Part attachments are listed below:

WZM CONNECTED: All Season 4 Aftermarket Parts are also unlockable throughout the season by spending Arsenal Coins in the Arsenal Store (Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile only), after which they can be used across all games.

JAK Harbinger Kit

Compatibility: M4 Assault Rifle (MWII)


This .50 Cal conversion kit for the M4 is an extremely deadly, quick-kill weapon. The slow fire rate, drop in bullet velocity, and a significant increase in recoil will require a careful hand.

JAK Gunslinger

JAK Volkh

Compatibility: KV Inhibitor Sniper Rifle (MWIII)

JAK Scimitar Kit

Compatibility: FJX Horus Submachine Gun (MWIII)

JAK Thumper-656

Compatibility: RGL-80 Launcher (MWIII)


An improved long barrel for an infantry-carried grenade launcher. Fires projectiles at higher velocities and distances. Compatible with a wider variety of launcher projectiles.

JAK Requiem

Compatibility: Kastov 762 Assault Rifle (MWII)


A counter-balanced rifle system designed to completely eliminate vertical recoil.

JAK Decimator

Compatibility: Lachmann Shroud Submachine Gun (MWII)


This modification allows the Lachmann Shroud to fire in full auto.

JAK Intimidator

Compatibility: Renetti Handgun (MWIII)


Slow down your fire rate and take more deliberate shots with this modification that changes the Renetti to a single-shot weapon.

Plus, Raise Funds to Help Vets Land Great Jobs

For each match played between May 8 and May 22, where you call in at least five UAVs individually in Modern Warfare III or collectively as a team in Call of Duty: Warzone, Activision Blizzard will allocate $1 as part of a $1 million total donation that Activision Blizzard has made to the Endowment to help place U.S. and U.K. veterans into high-quality jobs.

About the Call of Duty Endowment

d8006edc73a73fc997c358318d33cf266c0c93ac.jpg


The Endowment has placed more than 125,000 veterans in jobs since 2009. That’s equal to 23 vets placed per day over the last 14 years, creating more than $7 billion in economic value for U.S. and U.K. veterans and their families. Last year, the average cost to place a veteran in a job was $618, about 1/13th the cost per placement of U.S. government’s efforts.

Season 3 Reloaded Arrives in Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone

The vast amount of action brought by the gigantic Season 3 update is set to keep on rolling with the upcoming Season 3 Reloaded content drop, bringing more Multiplayer maps and modes and the introduction of the next story mission, Dark Aether Rift, and more in Modern Warfare Zombies. Adjust your tactics with new items coming to Rebirth Island, including the coveted Specialist Perk Package.

Earn the new BAL-27 Assault Rifle and go classic akimbo and more with new Aftermarket Parts earned via mid-season Weekly Challenges. Plus, Military Appreciation Month kicks off on May 1 and the Call of Duty Endowment is preparing celebrations, with an announcement on the same day, so keep an eye out for how to help place U.S. and U.K. veterans into high quality jobs with what’s to come.

The Season 3 Reloaded mid-season update launches on May 1 at 9AM PT. Visit the Call of Duty Blog for all official comms and announcements.

Here's what’s on the way:

MODERN WARFARE III OVERVIEW [MWIII]

ddd0aa0f623e21855bdfff7314c9aa903d2fc778.jpg


CONTENT SUMMARY:
  • Introducing Minefield and Escort. Watch your step in Minefield and hack multiple points on the map alongside a MAW in Escort.
  • Two 6v6 Multiplayer Maps. Head to the wrong part of town in the brand-new Grime map and test your skills on Checkpoint based on the Stronghold area of Rebirth Island.
  • Power Up in the Arcade Playlist. From unlimited ammo modifiers to ultra-powerful weapon pickups, Arcade transforms the Multiplayer experience into a full-blown power simulation.
New Modes: Minefield, Escort

Minefield


2746559b6281e59186300da926e46d703b3bbfca.jpg


Watch your step in the new Minefield game mode, adding an explosive new dynamic to a variety of Multiplayer modes. In this variant, players still adhere to each mode’s basic ruleset with an important caveat: Eliminated Operators drop a Proximity Mine where they fall. The mine cannot be picked up and is deadly to the fallen Operator’s team, setting up the potential for some truly explosive combos.

As the eliminations start racking up, the action grows more intense, challenging players to watch their step while pursuing the next target.

Escort

c1a34f3de49f3bb8ea80ab566f5129d4c9d807db.jpg


In Escort, teams take turns escorting a MAW through the environment with the goal of hacking three points across the map. The MAW only moves forward if an attacking Operator is nearby and will move in reverse if a defending Operator closes the distance.

Matches take place over two rounds, giving each team a turn on attack and defense. The team who hacks the most points or who hacks all three points in the shortest amount of time wins the match.

Two Core 6v6 Maps: Grime, Checkpoint

Grime [6v6]


Brand-New, Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized

75092a32ee2c1f0ac3ffb711a5d5358ffe19a218.jpg


Navigate an abandoned corner of London as you weave through Grime’s dockside district, a graffiti-laden hub featuring the remnants of the once lively SKN Comms building beside the Captain’s Dog pub and the now-defunct boat house. Swim through the murky waters of the canal and battle along the docks. Surviving this derelict urban location will require smart use of the map’s chokepoints and a penchant for dirty tactics.

For an interactive Tac-Map and full guide to Grime, click here on Monday April 29.

Checkpoint (6v6)

New [Repurposed], Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized

49729253dd8065200332ec390526453f7d2e03d1.jpg


With Rebirth Island out in the wild, there’s a good chance that you’ve already engaged in combat in the original version of this area based on the island’s Stronghold POI. This modified Multiplayer variant, known as Checkpoint, keeps the fight focused in and around the main buildings of the military comms outpost in a modified version of the map where the upper walkways and control tower are sealed off, emphasizing combat on the ground. Battle within the armory and garage or take on foes in the forward construction site and rear roundabout.

For an interactive Tac-Map and full guide to Checkpoint, click here on Monday April 29.

Power Up in the Arcade Playlist

f21fc6bee9074505f646fd990eaa2a83ad3904dc.jpg


Boost your powers exponentially with the mid-season Arcade playlist, supporting a variety of maps and modes featuring powerups and special weapon pickups.

Powerups: Eliminated enemies will drop a powerup where they fall, granting one of two temporary abilities on pickup: unlimited ammo or unlimited grenades. Let loose on your foes without mundane concerns like ammo supply and grenade count.

Weapon Pickups: Bring the pain with special weapon pickups scattered throughout the environment, immediately noticeable by their glowing effects and floating animation.

These empowered weapons include the Punch Knife with a dramatically increased lunge distance, the MORS Sniper Rifle and Riveter Shotgun loaded with explosive projectile rounds, and a Minigun that provides a constant Battle Rage effect for improved health regeneration, resistance to Tactical Equipment, and a constant refresh on your Tactical Sprint.

The Vortex Playlist Returns

ab09e6c3bf0ba52e1e68296b201db0eb2d91f7eb.jpg


Redeploy to the otherworldly Vortex Playlist, which goes live again for a limited time in the mid-season. Return, if you dare, to the infected environments of Airborne, Satan’s Quarry, Skidgrow, Sporeyard, and Tetanus. Keep cool and focus on the objective in the Vortex Mosh Pit or risk losing your sanity to these twisted map variants.

New Field Upgrade and Equipment

New Field Upgrade:
Enhanced Vision Goggles

bc9e13e6d9a90ecf1d16b01927280f89b53ba95b.jpg


Toggle on the Enhanced Vision Goggles for improved target acquisition in the midst of battle. The goggles feature limited battery, displayed by the Field Upgrade charge which depletes as the gadget is in use.

New Tactical: EMD Mine

Deploy this proximity-triggered mine that sticks to surfaces. Once triggered, the mine fires tracking devices that attach to nearby enemy Operators, revealing their position on the minimap for improved tracking.

MODERN WARFARE ZOMBIES OVERVIEW [MWZ]

adca5d9d4efd5a5266715229758dcf506fcd6886.jpg

  • Rescue Dr. Jansen. In the next Story Mission, Operators join Ravenov in a rescue mission to retrieve Dr. Ava Jansen after she was lured into a Dark Aether Rift.
  • Earn New Schematics. Acquire up to three new schematics to aid you in your future deployments to the Exclusion Zone.
  • Face Warlord Rainmaker. Seek out the new Warlord in their fortress on Rahaa Island. Be prepared for explosive combat against this demolitions expert.

The Next Chapter: Saving Dr. Jansen

185c8fb115d229137857e7ec2981cb58ca01d641.jpg


A new anomaly strikes the Exclusion Zone as the third Dark Aether Rift appears. Dr. Jansen has been lured through its portal, and the members of Operation Deadbolt must now conduct a rescue mission with Ravenov’s help to get her back before it’s too late. Prepare to face off against a horde of foes in this mid-season Story Mission, including a new Disciple variant that will put your squad’s slaying skills to the test.

Seek out and attune the required relics after completing the Story Mission to re-open the Dark Aether Rift for subsequent runs. Complete the objectives within to acquire new powerful schematics.

New Schematics

7cf53cf2ee7c41658537449f7160186b7d99d2f3.jpg


Dead Wire Detonators: Electrify your blasts for massive damage using the Dead Wire Detonators, adding the Dead Wire Ammo Mod effect to all of your explosive armaments, including Lethals and Launchers. This is sure to come in handy when facing off against the Dark Aether Rift’s new Disciple variant.

Golden Mask Filter: Forget the constant search for a functioning gas mask when approaching strongholds and other areas where gas threatens to suffocate incoming Operators. Attaching the Golden Mask Filter to a gas mask causes its charge to self-regenerate over time. The mask can still break if its charge is fully used up in one go, though the filter will be reapplied to the next one you find.

f99d75b419426ce25b054ca4dbf79f6eeb3dcff5.jpg


Sergeant’s Beret: With the undead roaming around, you’ve got enough to worry about before taking Zakhaev’s Mercs into consideration. Don the Sergeant’s Beret to trick the faction into thinking that you’re one of their own. As a bonus, you’ll gain a Merc Bodyguard who fearlessly follows you into the action.

New Warlord: Rainmaker

3a12d0dd3439959ad533d227fef14fa16dbf8981.jpg


Challengers of the new Warlord Rainmaker will need to plan their tactics carefully when approaching this artillery and demolitions expert. Find him in his fortress on Rahaa Island in the southeastern Urzikstan Exclusion Zone, where he’s supported by an army that he’s only too willing to expend in pursuit of annihilating Operation Deadbolt.

Expect mortar rounds and RPG fire on approach. Bring reliable transport to breach the fortress combined with long-ranged support to whittle down the enemy forces from afar. Remain cautious after breaching the walls, as the Warlord has set multiple traps to catch unsuspecting Operators. When you get to the Warlord himself, be ready to inflict maximum pain.

CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE OVERVIEW [WZ]

a11d8dc7e9ec0c0eeec70f39225d68e432db53d7.jpg

  • Gear up! Plate up with Heavy Armor, resupply your Plates and Ammo with the Utility Box, and ready up for the return of the Weapon Trade Station: Trade in a weapon, get one back plus some extra loot. A good way to fill your pockets.
  • Specialist Perk Package: Become a super soldier with this rare item granting your Operator every available Perk!
  • New Foresight Killstreak: Plan your end game accordingly with the ability to see all future gas circles.
  • Variable Time of the Day: Experience Rebirth Island in a new way with the chance for variable weather conditions in your deployments.
New Event, Field Upgrade, and More Warzone Features

With occasional aerial bombardments increasing in ferocity across Rebirth Island, expect a change in the weather, a variety of additional items, Events, and more Features as you drop in at Mid-Season:

Boost Your Defenses in the New Heavy Armor Public Event


This Public Event arrives in Season 3 Reloaded. A rare occurrence at Infil, this
raises the number of armor plates players can carry, buffing the total number of health points from 150 to 200 for the whole match. For more information, click here.

Gear Up with the new Utility Box Field Upgrade (Rebirth Island)

The Utility Box combines Ammo and Armor Boxes together allowing Operators to resupply everything ranging from bullets to grenades. Purchase the box at Buy Stations or as a piece of ground loot.

8f9927ff8c75d4973eb0b128e873450d554d1cac.jpg


Weapon Trade Station (Rebirth Island)

The Weapon Trade Station returns to help fill your pockets. Trade in your weapon for one of a lower rarity plus some extra loot. Rarity is determined by your weapon’s total attachments and is displayed by its color in the weapon info box, from most common to least common as follows: Gray, Green, Blue, Purple, and Orange. The weapon you trade in returns one of two rarity levels lower (or “more common”).

The extra items that drop may include ammo, cash, and equipment (Tacticals, Lethals, Field Upgrades, Killstreaks, Gas Masks). With some luck, trading in a powerful weapon may even reward the Specialist Perk Package, with even better rewards during a Fire Sale!

Perk Package: Specialist (Rebirth Island)

bf0bd9a9559acb75b45a5a57aed4a9e6352aee69.jpg


Become the ultimate Operator if you’re lucky enough to come across the rare Specialist Perk Package. With Specialist activated, your Operator will benefit from ALL available Perks. The complete list of abilities include:
  • Perk Slots 1 and 2 (all Perks active): Battle Hardened, Double Time, E.O.D., Focus, Irradiated, Mechanic, Mountaineer, Scavenger, Shrapnel, Sleight of Hand, Spotter, Strong Arm.
  • Perk Slot 3 (all Perks active): Cold-Blooded, Escapist, Payout, Primed, Quick Fix, Resupply, Stalker, Survivor, Tempered, Tracker.
  • Perk Slot 4 (all Perks active): Birdseye, Combat Scout, Flex, Ghost, High Alert, Resolute, Shrouded.
As a force to be reckoned with, this is your surest bet toward victory. Good luck finding it.

New Killstreak — Foresight (Rebirth Island)

Perfect your strategy by seeing what’s coming with Foresight, showing you the location of every future gas circle in the match. Find the new Killstreak as a piece of rare loot. Strategize accordingly to make the most out of the intel you’re given, setting up for the win where you know the gas will end up at the match’s end.

And More on the Way

6d5fbf31fa08b94c67885267427445aacf46fb0f.jpg


Along with upcoming playlists like Loaded Resurgence (at Mid-Season Launch) and Rebirth Lockdown (later into the Season), keep an eye out for the new Utility Box Field Upgrade, providing ammo, armor plates, and extra equipment to stock up your Operator for the most vicious battles ahead. And beef up through the Heavy Armor Public Event, adding a permanent extra plate slot to all Armor Plate Carriers for the rest of the match.

Something is happening with the Bunkers on Urzikstan, too. Curious squads who explore these areas are apt to discover the rewards within. That isn’t all that’s coming, either, though some [[REDACTED]] surprises are best left to our players to uncover.

New Weapon

BAL-27 (Assault Rifle)


a09578f9ea4d48706c380b7f49b78c753f497668.jpg


“A bullpup prototype weapon designed to increase fire rate over time while the trigger is squeezed. The first 4 shots are slower to fire but highly accurate.”

The top-loading BAL-27 Assault Rifle offers quick reloads and a unique firing mechanism whereby the initial four shots favor accuracy before the weapon kicks into a higher fire rate to finish the job and bring down your target fast. Pump the trigger at greater distances to benefit from the improved accuracy of its first shots or hold down the trigger to spray enemies up close.

The BAL-27 introduces new Weapon Camos in both Multiplayer and Zombies, accessible by completing BAL-27-specific in-game challenges.

How to Unlock the Base Weapon: Unlocked via a new Sector in the Season 3 Battle Pass.

New Store Offerings: Devin Booker and More

The primary flow lanes through these locations offer opportunities no matter your playstyle, and while the curved connecting corridors allow excellent access across and around the map, there are several useful shortcuts, like a vent connecting the aquarium and Oasis Lounge, a pump room that drops down into the lounge, and a precarious catwalk joining the garden helipad to a security office.

Emergency (Launch)

Brand-New, Core, 6v6, Small-Sized


f0973b6045dbcee2c44a4af857ce6a4f2ca5f5be.jpg


Force your foes to visit the ICU after dominating this Arizonan medical facility, nestled on the summit of a remote mountain range. A nearby town lies in the wooded valley below. The entire area is the scene of a major conflagration, with black smoke billowing from the valley below, while the State Disease Control Agency facility has seen evidence of fierce fighting. The flow of the map is via an exterior forecourt, the interior reception lobby, and a medical laboratory, offering longer sightline opportunities from both the ground and atop parked vehicles. Otherwise, expect rapid and riotous combat.

Growhouse (Launch)

New (Remastered), Core, 6v6, Small-Sized


d60d88b0da1855380bd686b941c84fc6c2aef793.jpg


First released as Sphere during Season 3 of Call of Duty®: Vanguard, the layout of this deceptively compact map is similar, but the environment has changed significantly. This is less of an experimental test site and more of a backwoods narcotics den nestled in remote foothills. The roof of the main barn seems to have been struck by missile fire, and the rafters are still smoldering. Smaller than Meat, this map features upper and lower levels offering greater space to move than you’d initially expect, especially if you know the ladders and points of entry. Expect mid- to longer-ranged battles aboveground, and close-quarter combat inside the rickety structure. Use the ancillary structures on the east and west sides as ambush points.

Tanked (Launch)

New (Repurposed), Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized


92ae6b70def7f918f6ca5d7bec980a40c0261ba9.jpg


Drop into Vondel Zoo after-hours in this fast-paced, medium-sized map developed by Beenox. The map is centered around a main Aquarium structure within the Call of Duty: Warzone point of interest, significantly reworked for Multiplayer. Expect well-lit exterior pathways with two long flanks allowing for longer-range sightlines as you navigate a tiki bar, petting zoo, concession stalls and Smiling Noodles restaurant, as well as the secondary interior of the reptile house, all surrounding the Aquarium. The action is mainly at ground level, with the most ferocious combat occurring around and in the fish-filled exhibition, with winning players making the most of the Aquarium tunnel, along with an exterior cave ambush point to the north.

Checkpoint (Mid-Season)

New (Repurposed), Core, 6v6, Small-Sized


0e38d1d80903304013b513f576a35a6282c7d4b9.jpg


Get a taste of Rebirth Island in Multiplayer later in Season 3, as the eastern point of interest known as Stronghold becomes the setting for some furious and fast-paced combat. Developed by Beenox, this small military comms outpost features a central checkpoint, an interior armory, storage locker room, and garage. The front gate and rear roundabout are dotted with building supplies, tarp-covered crates, and transport vehicles. The map is pleasingly dense, with almost all the action at ground level. The upper walkways and the control tower are sealed off, so combat is rapid, with plenty of cover options. Fall back toward the roundabout and the small hangar and shoreline buildings, or battle for control over the checkpoint road and its interior spaces.

Grime (Mid-Season)

Brand-New, Core, 6v6, Small- to Medium-Sized


6a4b2ccefeb002c66779a12cc326bc61cb73f28e.jpg


Among the graffitied walls, navigate the piles of rubbish and brave the derelict London canal, well away from Big Ben and the bright lights in England’s capital city. As the tube trains rattle overhead, visit the murky brown waters of the docks, duck into a boathouse, and look for tactical cover throughout an abandoned SKN Comms center — with a choke point in the lobby where combat is usually the fiercest. Near the water’s edge, you’ll find Emily’s greasy spoon café. The urban layout provides a variety of cover opportunities, though you could always head to the Captain’s Dog for a pint and a punch.

Four Game Modes Arrive in Multiplayer

74c1b3bb4e29b33f3cf56ccca93186ac9b2d9672.jpg


The popular Capture the Flag Multiplayer Mode leads the charge at the start of Season 3, supplemented by Minefield and the fan-favorite One in the Chamber. Later in the season you’ll return to escort a MAW across dangerous choke points and visit off-world locales courtesy of the Vortex Playlist.

Game Mode: Capture the Flag (Launch)

a4dbda6e789f8614fad97b9021830938903d848c.jpg


An often-requested objective game mode, beginning in the first Call of Duty Multiplayer experience, Capture the Flag (CTF) pits two competitive teams against each other, with eliminations being only part of the plan: The real tactics involve stealing the opponent’s flag and returning it to their home base, while simultaneously defending that same base and their flag from the enemy. As a flag won’t be scored as “captured” until a team’s flag is safe in its base, squads must bring both impressive offensive and defensive capabilities to win the match.

Game Mode: One in the Chamber (Launch Window)

df663684868fc3279e25b57d9479f9bc99532d69.jpg


This fun-filled Party Mode — first introduced in the original Call of Duty®: Black Ops — rewards those with impressive aiming and ammunition discipline. Each player in this free-for-all gets a single bullet to start with and one additional bullet every time you achieve a kill. You also start with three lives, and the bullet you’re firing is extremely potent, dropping foes no matter where you hit them. Enemies who succumb to this one-hit kill lose a life, while the successful marksman gains another bullet. Out of bullets? Fancy your chances at close-range combat? Then melee attacks are also an option; bring a knife to a gunfight if you (or your foes) run out of ammo.

Note: Kills, Deaths, and Wins/Losses do not affect your Combat Record in this Game Mode.

Game Mode: Minefield (Mid-Season)

f7ab2527281978245692788d2e2899ce8b698f44.jpg


In the same way that Season 2’s Hordepoint was “Hardpoint but with Zombies,” think of Minefield as “Multiplayer but with mines.” Currently applicable to almost any current game mode, Sledgehammer Games will be switching on this game variant in a variety of modes, like Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint. Minefield uses the same rules as the mode in question, but with one important addition: When you defeat a rival player, a Proximity Mine is dropped at the enemy’s corpse. This mine cannot be picked up and remains deadly to the enemy team (but not to any friendly teammates). As the action heats up, the scattered mines across the map ramp up the action to a cacophony of chaos! Watch your step out there, Operator!

Game Mode: Escort (Mid-Season)

4f58a2165403e5ca3741740a5ec7d9586d440acd.jpg


Those Call of Duty: Warzone veterans who remember playing the entertaining, limited-time mode known as Payload know what to expect here as two teams — both with unlimited respawns — face off on a variety of maps, with one side protecting a MAW as it maneuvers across the map. Meanwhile, the opposing force has enemy takedowns and the grand prize of vehicular destruction on their minds! The attacking team’s overriding goal is to ensure the vehicle reaches its destination. The defending team’s plan of attack is to disable the vehicle by any means necessary. Once the first game of the match is completed, the teams swap objectives, and the side with the quickest vehicle takedown wins.

Game Mode: Vortex Playlist (In-Season)

9790d2cfc2a6b8702bb17fba5d1b79266744253b.jpg


The preternatural map variants – Airborne, Satan’s Quarry, Skidgrow, Sporeyard, and Tetanus – return in a special limited-time Playlist coming later in Season 3. The familiar Vortex Mosh Pit will be available, along with a new Arcade Mode, with a number of [[REDACTED]] gameplay modifiers to add yet more variety to your game.

Expect the “Vortex Vir.Rus Mainframe” Event to launch alongside this limited-time Playlist. More information on this event is available later in this blog.

MODERN WARFARE ZOMBIES OVERVIEW

CONTENT SUMMARY (Mid-Season):
  • The Dark Aether Story Continues: Take a chance on Jansen as a full-scale rescue mission is launched after the doctor enters a new and terrifying region of the Dark Aether.
  • Take on the Third Rift: An ethereal voidscape houses insanity-inducing horrors within, including a new and diabolic Disciple variant. Provide fire support for Ravenov, and find Dr. Jansen before she’s consumed by darkness.
  • Season 3 Challenges and Schematics: Unlock Prestige levels to acquire Zombies Challenges, and gather three new Schematics to aid your progress, including a way to disguise yourself among Mercenaries, Dead Wire your explosive weaponry, and outlast the gas.
  • Warlord Rainmaker: Holed up on Rahaa Island, this heavily armored psychopath makes it rain artillery fire and has little regard for his own forces. Though his compound is easy to reach, stepping foot on the island with your limbs still attached may be more of a challenge.
The Dark Aether Story Continues: Saving Dr. Jansen (Mid-Season)

eac749518acc19d99d8ec76ea77518feb4dd7b1b.jpg


An unknown force of disturbing power has its psychic tendrils wrapped tightly around Dr. Ava Jansen. The doctor has been lured unto a new region of the Dark Aether under this malignant influence.

Strike Teams from Operation Deadbolt have converged to assist Sergei Ravenov as he attempts to locate and rescue Dr. Jansen from the unknown. Your expertise surviving and escaping the Dark Aether is required. The time has come to explore a new part of the Dark Aether, and rescue Dr. Jansen, and readying up for another Dark Aether Gate hunt.

Additional Unlock Quest, a Third Rift, and More (Mid-Season)

d69c03b7b9bf6c2e4c7ca366cb4f9ce54f670489.jpg


This third Dark Aether Rift is just as ornery as past two; expect a series of unlock objectives focusing on finding and attuning several relics, allowing access through the Gate. Accomplish these tasks to step into the ethereal voidscape and face the terrifying horrors lurking within, claiming valuable rewards if you survive. Squad up and help Operation Deadbolt continue to contain the onslaught of the undead.

Naturally, you’re also here to complete activities and contracts, discover arcane secrets, and secure some highly classified schematics!

Naturally, you’re also here to complete activities and contracts, discover arcane secrets, and secure some highly classified schematics!

New Challenges and Schematics (Mid-Season)

5ea7e3a257df67cd48086ab70e3803cbe90ae4e5.jpg


Prestige Challenges

Unlock new Prestige Calling Card Challenges at each level of prestige reached, and select up to five challenges to track, including any from across the game.

Camo Challenges

With four new weapons comes over a dozen new unique Camo challenges to grind through - play to access the new challenges for the Gladiator Melee weapon and multiple unique Camos for the BAL-27 (Assault Rifle), FJX Horus (Submachine Gun), and MORS (Sniper Rifle).

New Schematics

In addition, some highly classified Schematics are located in deviously secretive locations, all available depending on your success during the Rift:

Dead Wire Detonators (Schematic): Are you still shocked at the impressive electrical damage the Dead Wire Ammo Mod inflicts? Then you might want to employ the Dead Wire Detonator, and attach it to all your explosive weaponry, including Lethals and Launchers!

Golden Mask Filter (Schematic): A prized schematic with a shiny hue and an impressive, long-lasting effect — gain a self-regenerating gas mask for the rest of the match. This comes in extremely handy for surviving zombie strongholds and any surprises in the rifts.

Sergeant’s Beret (Schematic): Your outcomes no longer need to be terminal when dealing with Zakhaev’s hired guns; simply don the Sergeant’s Beret to disguise yourself among the Mercs, and summon a trusty Merc Bodyguard who shadows you to the end.

Warlord: Rainmaker (Mid-Season)

3a30d55db41ef0c34a965ffdd58174aaf4ea588b.jpg


Additional caution is advised when operating in the southeastern part of the Urzikstan Exclusion Zone, as Warlord Rainmaker has commandeered and heavily upgraded the defenses of his fortress on Rahaa Island, across the water from Shahin Manor. As his code name suggests, this Warlord is an artillery and demolitions expert, and though his island compound is relatively easy to reach, stepping foot on the island with your limbs still attached may be more of a challenge.

Expect mortar rounds and RPG fire to descend on your squad, with assault maneuvers made even more difficult due to the water surrounding Rainmaker’s lair. Fast transport is recommended, and once you disembark, try to ignore the chaos and focus on the fortress. Rainmaker’s forces are expendable, and he almost enjoys sacrificing his own men to take out intruders. With the fortress breached, slow your progress, as the compound is brimming with tripwires and traps. Stepping on a mine at this point would be unfortunate. Then prepare to change your gameplan once you finally corner Rainmaker; he’s capable of some nasty surprises you won’t be expecting.
