Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 Reloaded Patch Notes

New

For information about upcoming Playlists, please check out the dedicated Warzone Trello Board.

• EMP Grenade
  • Added to Battle Royale and Resurgence.
  • Destroys equipment and disables many Field Upgrades and Killstreaks.

• Cluster Grenade
  • Added to Battle Royale and Resurgence.
  • Detonates on impact, followed by multiple secondary explosions.

• Sensor Dart
  • Added to Battle Royale and Resurgence with mode-specific tuning.
  • Maximum carry: 1
  • Duration: 7 seconds
  • Detection Radius: 35 meters

• Smoke Screen
  • No longer limited to 1 per Buy Station.
  • Smoke duration increased from 7 seconds to 12 seconds.
  • Number of deployed smokes increased from 5 to 9.
  • Improved deployment pattern to a more diagonal spread for increased coverage.
  • Reduced the number of Smoke Screen Killstreaks that can be active simultaneously on the map.
  • Reduced time before smoke impacts the ground.
  • Reduced delay between each smoke deployment for more consistent timing.

These changes are designed to position Smoke Screen as a more viable and impactful Killstreak. Improvements to consistency, deployment speed, and overall coverage should provide players with more reliable tools for creating cover and executing tactical plays.

• Precision Airstrike
  • Increased the range at which the warning banner appears by approximately 40%.

Previous adjustments to Precision Airstrike deployment speed caused the warning banner to appear too late relative to impact. This change increases the warning distance to better align with its current behavior and provide clearer, more timely alerts to players.

• MK.78 Lightframe PDW Conversion

  • A drastic weight reduction allows for more mobile and aggressive usage while retaining much of its power at the expense of additional recoil and reduced damage range.

  • Unlockable via Weekly Challenge Reward.

• Warden 308 Badlands Pistol Kit

  • Heavy pistol configuration that sacrifices some control and range for improved handling and mobility with strong firepower at close range. Supports akimbo and three additional Barrel Attachments.

    • The Barrel Attachments unlocked when using the Warden 308 Badlands Pistol Kit include the following:

      • 10” Spiral Barrel: Extended barrel for improved damage range and recoil control.

      • 6” Snub Nose Barrel: Lightweight barrel for improved handling. Removes the pre-fire delay for a faster fire rate but harms damage range.

      • 8” Admonish Barrel: Extends one-hit kill potential to neck and upper torso at max range. Increases headshot multiplier to allow one-shot eliminations at longer range. Harms handling and recoil control.

  • Unlockable via Weekly Challenge Reward.

• Carbon 57 Fabricator Mag

  • State of the art magazine that automatically replenishes its own ammo by fabricating additional rounds as soon as you stop firing.

  • Unlockable via Weekly Challenge Reward.

• Ryden 45K Apex Sweeper Rig

  • Rounds that break apart in flight dealing damage with each piece that connects. Converts the weapon to semi-auto.

  • Unlockable via Weekly Challenge Reward.
