Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 5 has already kicked off with a bang, bringing the world of WWE to Call of Duty. But the real excitement is yet to come with the mid-season update on the horizon. Here’s when to expect the MW3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded release, including an inside look into upcoming features.
When does Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded come out?
According to the battle pass, MW3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded will launch on Aug. 21, 2024. It will likely debut sometime around 9 a.m. PT, given that past seasons have been released at this timeframe.
Preloads for MW3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded will be available the day before or a few hours prior to launch. This convenient feature ensures that you can jump right into the action as soon as the update is live. Since it’s a Reloaded patch, it shouldn’t require too much space, but it’s always a good idea to clear out some room for the next update.
MW3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded features
Season 5 Reloaded showcases two new weapons: the Spear and Torque 35. The first tool excels in close-quarters combat as a melee weapon that can be thrown from a distance. But if a spear isn’t quite your style, participate in the Weekly Challenges to get the bow and arrow Torque 35. Both weapons harness the ability to pin enemies to the wall to inflict a ton of damage.
New Aftermarket Parts and events will also arrive for MW3 and Warzone. However, a few upcoming features are only for specific modes. We’ll divide them up to give you a better picture of each one.
Modern Warfare 3
Modern Warfare 3’s mid-season update introduces a new map variant, Ink House. The same cel-shaded treatment seen in Toonoxide and Celship will be shown here, switching up the visuals of the iconic Shoot House.
New game modes will also be a part of Reloaded, including the following challenges:
- Fishfection: A unique spin to the classic Infected mode, where you can turn into a Fish Operator. Use a Compound Bow or Spear to avoid this from happening at all costs.
- Paintball: All bullets are replaced with paint splatters, resulting in a one-shot kill. Play on small maps and participate in standard modes such as Kill Confirmed or Capture the Flag.
- Defuse or Destroy: A Search and Destroy mode where a bomb will activate upon start.
MW3 Zombies
The final MW3 Zombies story mission is on its way for Season 5 Reloaded, concluding the overall narrative for the mode. Venture into a new Dark Aether Rift and take down the last Zombies boss.
You’ll have several new Schematics to try out, including the highly anticipated Stash Increase. That means your inventory will be extended to 30, giving you a nice amount of space for your extra gear. Then, there’s the Disciple Bottle, an item with the ability to summon a friendly Disciple. The Grenade Bandolier is the last Schematic for the season, which automatically replenishes your Lethal and Tactical equipment gradually.
Warzone
Warzone Season 5 Reloaded features the return of Supreme Resurgence in Rebirth Island. Loot around this map to claim powerful weapon blueprints with camo designs. Those who win the first match earn their right to the Spilled Beans Weapon Camo.
Look out for the new Elite Contracts for even more rewards. These tasks will be much more grueling than standard Contracts, as their time limits will be reduced. Complete them to collect gifts, like Foresight Killstreak, Specialist Perk Package, and Advanced UAV.
