‘Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare’ And ‘Warzone’ Season 4 Reloaded Update Is Now Live: Here’s What To Expect

Update 6/30/20:

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone’s big mid-season update is now live. If you started the download last night, it should be ready to play now.

The new update includes quite a few changes to the game, including nerfs to some of the game’s more powerful guns like the Grau and the MP5, two fan favorites.

You can read more about these weapon changes here.

Full patch notes follow:

200 Player Warzone!

Verdansk will now be able to hold up to 200 players. Jump into Battle Royale Quads with 200 players!

Supply Run Contracts!

Upon activation, you and your squad (if applicable) will be directed to a nearby Buy Station. Reach it within the time limit to get a discount on Buy Station purchases.

Spotter Scope!

Think of this as a high-powered scope without the glint; this re-usable scope allows you to scan the environment around you and mark enemies without being detected. Perfect for scouting ahead, the Spotter Scope is a great tool for Operators who want to plan their next move while keeping a low profile.

[Original Story 6/29/20]

Another huge update is coming to Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone this evening.

The Season 4 Reloaded update brings a bunch of new content to the game, including a 200-player Battle Royale mode for Warzone and the new Modern Warfare multiplayer map, Cheshire Park.

Team Defender returns as a new Modern Warfare mode as well, and the new .50 caliber Rytec AMR sniper rifle lands in both MW and Warzone.

The update itself will be 22-36GB for Modern Warfare owners depending on your system and 22-30GB for Warzone-only players. Ultimately it will not make much of a difference after install, negligibly increasing the final footprint for Modern Warfare owners and slightly decreasing it for Warzone.

The update itself goes live tonight, June 29th at 11 pm PT. That translates to June 30th as you move eastward: 2 am ET / 6 am GMT. (You can see what 6 am GMT converts to in your local time here).

I’m pretty excited about this update, though more for the new Modern Warfare content than the Warzone stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Warzone a lot. I just find that Modern Warfare’s various modes, including the outstanding 2v2 Gunfight mode, gives me more to do and is less monotonous.
