Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 Patch Notes Revealed

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 4 launched on Wednesday, May 29, bringing a wave of updates, balance adjustments, and new content. Activision released detailed patch notes, highlighting significant changes that fans of the franchise can expect.

According to Activision’s blog post, Season 4 introduces two new maps, Tokyo and Paris, available immediately at launch. Additional Multiplayer maps, Incline and Das Gross, are set to arrive later in the season. These maps are designed to offer fresh and engaging environments for players to explore.

New Game Modes, Weapons, And Killstreaks Enrich Gameplay In Modern Warfare 3 Season 4

Several new game modes have been added, expanding the variety of gameplay experiences. The new modes include Demolition, Hyper Cranked, Cache, Mutation, Headshots Only, and Havoc. Each mode provides unique challenges and opportunities for players to test their skills.

Season 4 also brings a selection of new weapons. The returning fan-favorite Kar98k marksman rifle headlines the new additions. Other new weapons include the Superi 46 submachine gun and the Reclaimer 18 shotgun, both accessible through the Season 4 battle pass.

Throughout the season, eight new Aftermarket Parts will be introduced, enhancing players’ customization options. The Loitering Munition, an eight-kill (1,000 Score) Killstreak, deploys a drone that targets areas with the highest concentration of enemies and bombards them with rockets. The I.M.S. (Intelligent Munitions System), a seven-kill (875 Score) Killstreak, utilizes smart explosives to eliminate enemies and vehicles. The Missile Drone, available for 11 kills (1,375 Score), fires guided missiles. The 25-kill DNA Bomb Killstreak calls in a bomb that wipes out the entire enemy team without ending the match, offering a game-changing strategic option.

New Vest and Gear Perks have been added, providing players with additional tactical advantages. The Mission Control Vest reduces the required kills and score for streaks, allowing players to achieve powerful streaks more easily. The Compression Plate regenerates health after specific kills and objective captures, enhancing survivability.

Two new operators, Void and Hammer, join the roster, adding to the diversity of characters that players can choose from.

Key Audio And Map Adjustments, Plus A Sneak Peek At Black Ops 6

In addition to these updates, Modern Warfare 3's Season 4 brings significant changes to footstep audio in Multiplayer. This adjustment encourages players to use different Boots instead of relying on Covert Sneakers, adding a layer of strategy to movement and positioning.

Hardpoint locations on the 6 Star map have been adjusted, aiming to improve the competitive balance of matches. The Cruise Missile’s radius has been increased, enhancing its lethality and making it a more formidable Killstreak.

The launch of Season 4 also coincides with a major announcement from Activision regarding the next installment in the Call of Duty franchise. This year’s Black Ops 6 is set to feature prominently at Microsoft’s June showcase and its own Direct event immediately afterward. Fans eagerly await more details about what the next game in the series will offer.

Season 4 of Modern Warfare 3 continues to build on the success of previous seasons, providing players with a mix of new content and gameplay improvements. The detailed patch notes released by Activision give a clear picture of the extensive changes and additions that players can expect as they dive into the latest season.

As players begin to explore the new maps and modes, and test out the latest weapons and perks, the impact of Season 4’s changes will become more apparent. The introduction of new operators, Void and Hammer, also adds a fresh dynamic to the game, providing players with new characters to master and incorporate into their strategies.
