MW3 and Warzone Season 3 is well underway. The devs have already treated fans to a Gozilla x Kong crossover event and High Trip to celebrate 4/20. We still have some time before the mid-season update goes live, so Vortex: Virus Mainframe will help bridge that gap.

MW3 & Warzone Vortex: Virus Mainframe event start date

Vortex Virus Mainframe begins onĀ Wednesday, April 24, 2024, atĀ 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST

If players haven’t unlocked all of the free rewards for Blaze Up, you only have a few days left, as the event also ends on this date. And for everyone who has enjoyed the High Trip Resurgence game mode, that mode will also be removed once Vortex Virus Mainframe starts.

It hasnā€™t been confirmed how long the latest Vortex event will last, but given that the Season 3 mid-season update is scheduled to start on May 1, Vortex Virus Mainframe will most likely be around for one week.

MW3 & Warzone Vortex: Virus Mainframe reward predictions

Like other events in the past, Vortex: Virus Mainframe rewards are earned by accumulating XP. The fastest way to earn XP is through using double XP tokens, playing Warzone, or jumping into small-map playlists in multiplayer that are relatively easy to get kills in. And, if you want to speed up the grind, aĀ bonus 1000 XPĀ will also be awarded for each match completed with theĀ Bacillus skin equipped, which can only be obtained by purchasing theĀ Vi.Rus Ultra Skin Tracer Pack.

Activision has yet to reveal the official rewards, but we expect it to resemble previous challenges. With that in mind, here is the likely list of prizes.

  • Calling Cards
  • Emblems
  • Weapon Stickers
  • Large Decals
  • Weapon Charms
  • Double XP Tokens
