News: The upcoming mid-season update for Modern Warfare 3 is poised to introduce thrilling additions to the game. In this post, we’ll provide a sneak peek into what the MW3 and Warzone Season 1 Reloaded patch notes have in store for players.

What to Expect from the Season 1 Reloaded Patch

Although the official patch notes for Season 1 Reloaded haven’t been unveiled, the Call of Duty Blog has shared valuable insights. The patch is slated for release on January 17, 2024, at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET/5 p.m. BST.

New 6v6 Map: Rio

A standout feature of the update is the inclusion of a novel 6v6 map named Rio. Set in an upscale shopping center and a lively streetway, this map offers players a new and invigorating environment to delve into during gameplay.

New Game Modes

Alongside the introduction of the new map, the forthcoming MW3 and Warzone patch is anticipated to incorporate several additional game modes.

Team Gunfight

Among these modes is Team Gunfight, presenting an expanded version of the beloved Gunfight mode. In Team Gunfight, your arsenal will undergo constant changes, introducing an extra layer of challenge to the gameplay.

Headquarters

Another included mode is Headquarters, where players are tasked with locating and securing designated Headquarters locations, striving to maintain control for as long as possible. The defending team faces the challenge of no respawns, and the shifting team positions inject a strategic element into the gameplay.

Infected Mode

For enthusiasts of the Infected mode, Season 1 Reloaded is set to unveil a refreshed rendition of this much-loved mode. In Infected, a single player commences as infected and endeavors to eliminate other players. Those eliminated then join the infected team, and the game persists until either all players succumb to infection or the remaining survivors successfully outlast the challenge.

Additional Features and Challenges

Adding to the excitement, Season 1 Reloaded will showcase a time-limited challenge named Super Siege, drawing inspiration from the iconic characters of The Boys TV show. This challenge demands players to fulfill specific objectives, such as acquiring particular items or achieving a set number of eliminations.

For Zombie enthusiasts, the update introduces a formidable new adversary named Dokkaebi. Overcoming this boss promises players valuable high-tier loot. To confront the Warlord, players must venture to Zaravan City, and it’s recommended to assemble a team to enhance survival odds against her lethal attacks.

Ranked Play and Warzone Updates

One of the eagerly awaited inclusions in the preliminary patch notes is the introduction of Multiplayer Ranked Play. However, players looking to access these features must attain a minimum level of 55. Ranked Play encompasses modes like Search & Destroy, Hardpoint, and Control, presenting exclusive rewards for active participants.

Within Warzone, the patch unfolds the Champion’s Quest in Urzikstan, injecting added excitement into the battle royale experience. Players can challenge their skills by achieving 30 victories or securing five consecutive wins during the season, with additional tasks and rewards awaiting as they advance.

New Weapons and Challenges

A fresh addition to each Warzone match is the appearance of a new Weapon Case at the onset, designating a target for players who secure it. Successfully holding the case until the round’s conclusion or making a daring escape via helicopter will earn players the rewards concealed within. To facilitate this, players can now access Covert Exfils, purchasable up to five times per match.

In a final exciting development, the update introduces the Gulag Public Event, where players must employ NVG (Night Vision Goggles) to navigate through the match and re-enter the battlefield. Additionally, two new weapons—the HRM-9 SMG and TAQ Evolvere LMG—will be at the disposal of players in both Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 1 Reloaded.
