Now that we’ve spent some in Season 4’s initial phase, it’s time to gear up for the mid-season update. Here’s when MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded releases, and what to expect.
When does MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded start?
MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded will be released on June 26, 2024, at 9 a.m. PT/11 a.m. CST/12 p.m. EST.
With the Reloaded patch, the update size should be a manageable amount of space, typically around 18 to 25 GB. A pre-load will be available the day before the launch. This way, you can dive right into the action as soon as it’s live.
What to expect in MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded
The MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded Intel Drop gives us a glimpse into what to expect for its release. We’ll break down each category.
MW3 Multiplayer maps
Multiplayer is set to introduce a new 6v6 core map, Incline, along with location variants. Incline will take you high above the mountains of Urzikstan in a medium-sized map, perfect for mid-range loadouts. And if that’s not enough, Das Gross will transform Das Haus into an alien nightmare, adding a whole new twist to your gaming experience.
Bitvela is another map variant a part of Season 4 Reloaded, changing Favela into a blocky paradise. This also goes along with the Bit Party playlist modifier, which inflates an Operator’s head upon death.
MW3 game modes and events
Havoc mode returns in Season 4 to change up the classic dynamics of Team Deathmatch. You may remember this entry from Modern Warfare 2’s Season 5 launch, where you’ll be rewarded with various modifiers throughout the match. In particular, Operators can equip the Camera Shift ability to change to third-person mode.
Another upcoming game mode will unleash a new wave of Team Deathmatch content with Headshots Only. The challenge is pretty self-explanatory, in which players can only get kills when aiming for an Operator’s head. You can also look forward to Mutation Mode, a battle between humans and mutants.
While the human team comes with the standard loadouts and gear, the mutants harness robust abilities to wipe them out. These beings do not have control over their loadouts, so you must rely on your new skills. Operators can use various powers, such as the speedy and powerful Mutated Leaper or the explosive Contaminated Sludger. Mutation Mode pairs nicely with the upcoming Altered Strain event, unlocking different abilities gradually.
Speaking of events, Retro Warfare will be launching alongside the Bit Party playlist. This gives you the chance to earn XP for rewards and collect boosts with the 8-Bit Blitz Bundle.
If you want to try some new weapons, tune into the Blueprint Gunfight playlist. It gives you the chance to test out the latest gun blueprint within a reasonably small map. Additionally, the fan-favorite G3T_H1GH playlist returns with the G3T_H1GH3R variant. The course will be much more extensive this time around, earning you three new weapon camos.
MW3 Zombies Unstable Rift
Unfortunately, not much is planned for MW3 Zombies, as it only features one new challenge. Players can tackle the Unstable Rift Exclusion Zone to earn more rewards and wipe out hordes of zombies. The quest can be replayed as many times as you want, and weapon/schematic cooldowns will be refreshed each time.
The Intel Drop also disclosed that beneficial loot will be provided to Operators here, including a maxed-out Pack-a-Punch weapon and free perks.
Warzone weapons and events
A DNA Bomb drops in Warzone Season 4 Reloaded, creating a toxic environment within Urzikstan’s Popov Power Plant. Investigate the area to discover hidden tunnels, which are now accessible through the map changes. You can also utilize this feature in the new limited-time modes, Mutation Resurgence and Mutation Buy Back modes. Here, Operators will gain the same mutant powers mentioned in MW3’s Multiplayer section. Protect yourself with the defensive Bioshield, or get a layout of the land with Mutant Vision.
While exploring, look around for new weapons in Loot Hot Zones and Bunkers. Anyone who picks up these guns can go beyond the standard five-attachment limit to create a devasting tool.
Other than the exclusive weapons, the Runaway Train Public Event will begin during Season 4 Reloaded. Use the train to get around Urzikstan quickly, but be mindful of enemy Operators who also have the same goal in mind.
New weaponry
The Superi 46 and KAR98K have already become some of the most powerful guns in Season 4. However, Reloaded will introduce new weapons that could take over their spot. This includes the Reclaimer 18 Shotgun and Sledgehammer Melee Weapon. While Reclaimer 18 was previously shown in Black Ops Cold War, the Sledgehammer is a brand-new weapon that packs a 20-pound head.
