The big update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded is out now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Along with it, the extensive list of patch notes has been published, which you can see below. The update includes a new special playlist that brings 200 players to Warzone for the first time. Along with that awesome addition, it also finally takes down one of the most powerful weapons in the game.
The update includes a new limited-time mode with Warzone Quads for 200 players, while also introducing new supply and execution contracts. There’s also a new Spotter Scope item that will help snipers move around the map without showing the familiar “flash” that exposes their location. All of this is among the content recently announced as part of the upcoming Season 4 roadmap.
Live until July 7, a double XP weekend is also in effect for both Modern Warfare and Warzone. Applies to weapon XP, standard XP and XP levels.
This new Modern Warfare / Warzone update also makes a number of weapon balance changes. The AX-50 sniper rifle now has a higher range of damage, while the HDR sniper now offers a guaranteed one-hit kill when shooting at the lower torso from any range. The Dragunov sniper rifle now has a faster downward-pointing speed (ADS), while also firing faster.
The AK-47 assault rifle sees its ADS speed increase, while the Grau 5.56 has reduced its damage range, answering calls to finally nerf the Grau. The weapon also sees a “slight increase” in high-frequency recoil, as well as a reduction in recoil compensation and range reduction offerings for the Tempus 26.4 “Archangel and FSS 20.8” Nexus guns. Additionally, all shotgun bullets now have faster speed and higher damage ranges.
There are also plenty of bug fixes in the update, including better PC stability and a fix for an issue that could cause Operator Krueger’s eyes to pop out of his head during a run move. The update also allows you to destroy reconnaissance drones with throwing knives, while the gas masks in Warzone will now crack (limiting your visibility) when you take damage near or within the circle.
The June 29 patch is very large, weighing in at 22-36 GB depending on your platform for those who own the full version of Modern Warfare. Console gamers need to download this, plus a second update of around 3.5GB. Free Warzone players will play a 22-30 GB update.
