There’s never a dull moment in the world of Call of Duty, with the likes of new updates and weekly challenges. Season 3 is no different, as it implements another series of objectives for exclusive rewards. Here are all the MW3 and Warzone Season 3 Week 1 challenges and how to complete them.

Tactical Stance Activation can be adjusted via the Controller’s Gameplay section. Here, you’ll see options to perform the Tac Stance while sprinting, performing melee attack, or double tapping. Use the best suitable interaction, or stick with the default interaction.
