Call Of Duty Season 3 Reloaded Patch Notes Detail Changes To Weapons And Scorestreaks

Season 3 Reloaded goes live in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone on April 30, and the midseason patch notes reveal major changes for both games. This includes weapon tuning across multiplayer and Warzone, changes to scorestreaks, and fixes for Zombies maps. Warzone's standard Black Ops Royale is also temporarily removed for a new limited-time mode.

In terms of content, Season 3 Reloaded brings two more weapons to unlock, the new Totenreich Zombies map, limited-time modes for Warzone, and a new set of operator missions for Endgame. Players can also expect the midseason update to include new events packed with cosmetic rewards, including a RoboCop crossover event with free and paid event passes.

Upcoming anti-cheat updates​

The midseason patch notes detail an upcoming security requirement for PC players. These changes are not included with Season 3 Reloaded, but they will be implemented with Season 4 to help Call of Duty's Ricochet anti-cheat better combat cheating.

Starting next season, Microsoft Azure Attestation (MAA) will be required on PC to access most playlists in Black Ops 7 and Warzone. This system is designed to help verify each player's PC environment hasn't been tampered with. This is in addition to the TPM and Secure Boot requirements currently in place.

Players without all these security features enabled will be placed into limited matchmaking, where they will not be paired with console players or verified PC players.

Weapon tuning for multiplayer​

Season 3 Reloaded doesn't include a ton of weapon adjustments, but it does make a few notable gun changes.

Improvements arrive for the X9 Maverick assault rifle's Javelin Assembly attachment. The javelin was not impaling players as intended, so the developer buffed the attachment to give the spear a slightly higher velocity, less drop-off, and better effectiveness when hitting multiple players.

The recently added 1911 pistol arrived too overpowered, so the developer has reduced the gun's damage range to bring the weapon more in line with Black Ops 7's other pistols.

Scorestreak adjustments​

Three scorestreaks get adjusted for Black Ops 7 multiplayer.

The Lockshot's lock-on time has been reduced, and it has an updated lock-on animation to allow the red diamonds to appear more quickly on the screen. Additionally, the Quick-Lock Overclock has been removed and replaced with the new Long-Shot Overclock, which increases the scorestreak's range from 145 to 230 feet.

Two bug fixes arrive for the Ion Core scorestreak. This fixes the problem where players previously could not melee the Ion Core, and another issue where the Ion Core dealt more damage than intended to players equipped with the Tech Mask perk.

Lastly, it squashes a bug with the Rhino scorestreak, which previously could prevent some players from seeing other scorestreaks through walls when using the Engineer perk and also piloting the Rhino.

Zombies map fixes​

In addition to the new Totenreich map, the patch notes detail several fixes for various Zombies maps, but many are included for last season's Paradox Junction.

These include fixes for issues that could prevent features or quest items from showing up after time traveling between map variants. It also addresses a rare bug that prevented the Wisp Tea perk from retrieving the Goggles quest item.

Directed Mode for Paradox Junction now has clearer quest guidance. The developer added a step to instruct players to acquire acid after using it on mannequins to retrieve the Hammer part during the Wonder Weapon quest.

Endgame gets new skills and exotic weapons​

Players can further level up their Endgame operator with two new skills.

• Conductive Shot is an Exotic skill. This allows players to sometimes emit a taser while firing their weapon, and this can get glued to the enemy and inflict tics of damage for a limited time.
• Wingman Unit is a Nightmare skill. With this, earning multiple kills in a short period of time spawns a drone that follows the player while shooting nearby enemies.

Two new exotic weapons are also added to Endgame's weapon pool:

• Pulsebreach: Burst Marksman Rifle modified for maximum destructive power
• Reboot: Semi-auto pistol augmented for versatility and power

Warzone removes standard Black Ops Royale mode​

Season 3 Reloaded adds the Hot Pursuit limited-time mode for Black Ops Royale on Avalon. This is inspired by the original Blackout battle royale mode of the same name, which is basically a game of cops and robbers. The mode will be available in solo and quad playlists.

Hot Pursuit will temporarily replace the standard Black Ops Royale mode, but the developer says it plans to bring the standard back in a future update.

New personal-best tracker​

The big update adds a new "personal best" system, which allows players to easily track and challenge their highest individual performance records across matches of Warzone.

The following metrics are now displayed in the Victory and Defeat screens:

• Damage
• Kills
• Elimination/Death Ratio (E/D)

The system tracks both all-time personal bests and weekly records.

More Ranked Play Resurgence restrictions added​

Warzone's Ranked Play is designed to follow the ruleset used in pro tournaments. A few more items have been banned for use in pro play for Season 3 Reloaded.

This following items are added to the list of restricted items:

• Spikes
• Hades LMG-SMG Conversion Kit attachment
• XR-3 Ion sniper rifle

Warzone weapon balancing​

Season 3's MK35 ISR assault rifle was one of the most dominant guns in Warzone. The gun has been nerfed with a decrease to the damage range across all modes.

Additionally, less-powerful assault rifles were buffed to be more viable options. This includes increased damage ranges for the DS20 Mirage, MXR-17, and the Voyak KT-3 across all modes.

Lastly, all Black Ops 7 light machine guns also received buffs to damage range across all modes.

The Season 3 Reloaded patch notes for both Black Ops 7 and Warzone can be found below, as shared by Activision.

WELCOME TO CALL OF DUTY SEASON 03 RELOADED​

The ongoing battle between JSOC and The Guild heats up as the balance of power shifts. With guidance from Karma, expert infiltrator Cole “Javelin” Donovan has successfully hacked into The Guild’s system using his C-Link device, allowing JSOC to turn The Guild’s own defenses against them. Will they use this newfound advantage to push toward victory and tear apart the oppressive conglomerate? Or will their enemies regroup in time for the counterattack?

Season 03 Reloaded fans the flames with a firestorm of new content across all modes, including new experiences like Heat Wave Havoc and Free Run joined by extra maps, game modes, the next Round-Based Zombies Map, Totenreich, and additional Weapons, Blueprints, Operator Skins and more earned across Mid-Season Events and Weekly Challenges.

New and Returning Maps​

Onsen (6v6, 2v2)​

• Assault a remote onsen in Yamanashi as a clandestine deal falls apart and fighting erupts. In this small-sized map designed for 6v6 and 2v2 play, Operators deploy to a slice of paradise in the mountains, though there’s no time to relax until the enemy is defeated.

Summit (6v6)​

• The iconic Summit returns as players breach a dangerous Russian facility perched atop a snow-covered mountain. This classic mid-sized map was first introduced in the original Black Ops, its three-lane layout funneling Operators into hot zones like the central control room and across the narrow cliffside and catwalk.

Hacienda (6v6)​

• Attack a fortified crime family estate as rival forces storm the mansion grounds in Hacienda, a classic mid-sized map centered in and around the grand villa.

New Weapons​

Siren (Special Weapon, Event Reward)​

• Charge energy weapon. Fires a high-damage, slow-moving projectile that passes through foes. Charge to improve projectile velocity.
• Inflict high damage on enemies with this Special Weapon that fires a slow-moving projectile, its velocity increasing as you charge the weapon before letting loose on your target.

Katana (Melee, Event Reward)​

• Melee weapon. High damage, moderate range, and moderate attack speed.
• Attack enemies up close with a combination of slashes and overhead attacks. Press the heavy attack button to hold the weapon up high, releasing at the perfect moment to inflict maximum damage.

New Weapon Attachments​

MK.78 Lightframe PDW Conversion (Weekly Challenge Reward)​

• 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.

Warden 308 Badlands Pistol Kit (Weekly Challenge)​

• 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.

Carbon 57 Fabricator Mag (Weekly Challenge)​

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

Ryden 45K Apex Sweeper Rig (Weekly Challenge)​

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

New and Returning Multiplayer Modes​

Freerun (Launch)​

• The Guild is seeking early volunteers for a new Project Synapse training program, providing contestants the opportunity to prove themselves as you race against the clock while overcoming obstacles.
• When the race begins, follow the track to progress through an increasingly demanding 10 zones, testing your abilities across a variety of challenges. Pull off difficult Wall Jumps, slide under low walls, hop across spinning platforms, and, as the course ramps up, use a variety of weapons to hit targets, opening the path forward.
• Later zones will further challenge you with the addition of the Grappling Hook and Wingsuit, ensuring that contestants are tested on every facet of combat maneuvers. With ten racers per match, you’ll need to keep up your momentum to pull ahead.
• Rewards
  • Complete the Freerun: Ascent course three times to earn the “Scaled” Emblem and 1,000 XP.
  • Collect all Ciphers in Freerun: Ascent to earn the “Upswing” Weapon Charm and 2,500 XP.
  • Complete the Freerun: Ascent course in under 14 minutes with fewer than 10 faults to earn the “Innovate” Universal Weapon Camo and 5,000 XP.

Heat Wave Havoc (In-Season)​

• Operators progress through five different Heat Levels, each level granting additional abilities improving combat efficiency. Generate heat through support actions like revealing enemies, scrambling enemy radars, buffing teammates, impairing enemies, capturing and defending objectives, and other non-lethal actions.
• Support your team to generate heat and gain Operator bonuses based on your Heat Level as follows:
  • Low Heat: Faster Field Upgrade recharge.
  • Medium Heat: Faster movement, sprint-to-fire speed, and mid-air mobility.
  • Hot: Faster weapon reloads, ADS speed, and swap speed.
  • Extra Hot: Equipment refills after eliminating enemies.
  • Extra Extra Hot: Increased damage and score for headshots.

Freeze Tag (In-Season)​

• A 6v6 respawn mode where teams compete to freeze the enemy while keeping their allies in the fight. Freeze enemies to score, shatter teammates to bring them back, and freeze the entire enemy team for a bonus. Proximity chat is enabled.
• If one team manages to freeze the entire enemy team, a Total Freeze will occur, releasing all Operators from their frozen status and awarding the team who froze all enemies a large score boost. Use your mini-map to track the location of frozen teammates, so you can prevent a Total Freeze from being inflicted on your side. The first team to reach the score limit wins.

New Zombies Survival Map: Totenreich​

“Welcome to Eidskallen – Sorry about the reception committee.” — The Twins

The time loop is broken, and following the Dark Heart’s defeat in Paradox Junction, the Twins transport the crew to a new destination: Eidskallen, a Norse fishing village on a blustery, windswept coast that has been inhabited since the late Bronze Age.

The Main Quest for Totenreich becomes available when the map releases with Season 03 Reloaded. Complete the Main Quest to earn the following:

• The “Ambition” Richtofen Operator Skin, Calling Card, and 10,000 XP.
• Complete Totenreich Mastery Challenge for another Calling Card and 5,000 XP.
• Obtain the necessary Intel (Audio Logs, Documents, and Artifacts) to earn a third Calling Card and another 10,000 XP.
• Players who complete the Main Quest before Directed Mode arrives for this map will also earn a unique Calling Card variant.

New Zombies Wonder Weapon: Jotunn Star​

This wide-sweeping Melee Wonder Weapon can take on even the most cold-hearted of enemies, stealing their souls for use in generating devastating attacks. A Norse artifact fortunately hidden from Group 935’s covetous hands by those on the island familiar with its myths and “old ways,” the Jotunn Star casts light and deadly fire.

New Zombies Enemy: Necropincer​

Tales tell of a doomed undead Viking warrior spirit—known to some as a Draugr— challenging invaders to vicious armed combat. It seems the presence and the sheer brutality of Group 935 have awakened an unnatural aberration that rises from the cold seas to aid in the protection of Eidskallen.

New Zombies Field Upgrade: Wild Fire​

• Imbue yourself with fire, increasing your speed and burning all enemies that get too close.
• When the swarm is on you, or you need to push through the thick of it, Wild Fire may keep you safe. Activating this Field Upgrade radiates pulses of heat from your location that also engulfs enemies near the wielder, while you enjoy a small increase in speed.
  • Major Augments
    • Fireball! While Wild Fire is active, fire balls will launch along with your attacks.
    • Firestorm: On activation, deploy a fire tornado that pulls in and immolates enemies.
    • Free Radical: While Wild Fire is active, the effects of the attack occasionally drop pools of fire on the ground.
    • Flashover: Starting with the initial activation, every third Wild Fire pulse deals significantly more damage in a larger radius.
  • Minor Augments
    • Oxidizer: Increase Wild Fire’s duration.
    • Backdraft: On activation, nearby zombies are knocked down, and larger enemies are stunned.
    • Molten Core: Enemies are dealt more damage the closer they get to you.
    • Heat Surge: While Wild Fire is active, your movement speed is increased even further.

Endgame Remains Free to Play​

Endgame will remain available as a free-to-play game mode for a limited time. Access the mode from the main Call of Duty menu and within Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops 7. Recruit new players to face the challenges within Avalon in this co-operative PvE mode where squads encounter increasingly difficult combat zones while taking on bosses and repeatable challenges while evolving their Operator along the way.

Endgame Act II: Operation Broken Mirror​

Our insider has established a link. Infiltrate the Guild network and gather enough Diagnostic Data to develop a virus that can destroy the network.

Act II is about breaking the system, not just learning it. With JSOC now linked to Javelin following Operation Poison Pill, the team confirms The Guild’s attempt to stand up a mirror C‑Link network. Karma’s objective is clear: build a virus powerful enough to shut it down... but doing so requires first mapping the network’s true structure.

Earn new rewards for every completed objective, including powerful upgrades for your Operator that will aid them in future steps.

In the final step, gain access to the new Virus Injection Glitch and take on the Glitch Boss. Operation rewards include a new Weapon Blueprint, Emblem, Double XP Token, Restore Token, Loading Screen, and more, detailed below.

Note that while Operation Poison Pill started with objectives that needed to be completed in Zone I or higher, Operation Broken Mirror begins with a Zone III or higher requirement right from Step 1, so ensure your Operator is up to the task before starting this Operation!

Earn a variety of valuable rewards and get powered up as you progress through the steps. Discover the location of the Virus Injection Glitch and take on waves of enemies and the Glitch Boss in Nightmare Difficulty.

Act II Skin Completion Camos:

• Earn 1 “Aftershock” Operator Skin to get the “Braincase” Weapon Camo.
• Earn all 3 “Aftershock” Operator Skins to get the “Neon Gallows” Animated Weapon Camo.

GLOBAL​

ANTI-CHEAT​

We’re continuing to strengthen our anti-cheat systems to better protect players and ensure fair matches across all platforms. These changes do not apply until Season 04, at which point you can expect the following:

New Security Requirement: Microsoft Azure Attestation (MAA)

• Microsoft Azure Attestation (MAA) will be required on PC to access most playlists. This system will help us verify that your PC environment hasn’t been tampered with, which is a key step in preventing cheating.

What This Means for PC Players

• Players whose systems aren't compliant will see a message alerting them that Failed Attestation Status was applied and matchmaking will be adjusted.
• Those attempting to play with others who have failed attestation will see a message that Failed Attestation Status is applied because one or more party members did not meet secure attestation requirements.

To be fully compliant, your system will need:

• TPM (Trusted Platform Module) enabled
• Secure Boot enabled

These are Windows security features that help verify your system is running in a trusted state. If you need help updating your settings, read our Player Support page (LINK).

If Attestation Fails

• Players without these features enabled will be placed into limited matchmaking.

If you are placed into a limited matchmaking pool you will be:

• Unable to match with players whose systems meet our requirements
• Unable to match with console players

Playlists Impact

• This enforcement will apply to all playlists, except (no MAA required):
  • Nuketown 24/7
  • Battle Royale Casual

Why This Matters

• These updates are designed to:
  • Fully realize the security benefits of using Microsoft Azure Attestation
  • Remove high-risk players from the general player pool

UI​

• HUD Settings are now saved separately between Multiplayer, Endgame & Zombies

Weapons​

Assault Rifles​

X9 Maverick​

We have seen a lot of feedback and questions surrounding the X9 Maverick Javelin Assembly. There was an issue that caused this to go live without its intended projectile tuning, and as a result its impaling behavior was also not functioning as intended. With Season 03 Reloaded, the spear will have a slightly higher velocity, less drop-off, and better effectiveness at hitting multiple players. It will also be launching and impaling enemy corpses to every surface imaginable, which was always meant to be the core fun of this attachment. That said, we may make additional gameplay adjustments based on the early feedback and any new feedback that comes in after the update.

X9 Maverick Javelin Assembly Attachment Adjustments

• Projectile velocity improved from 142m/s to 152m/s.
• Significantly reduced effect of gravity on projectile.
• Significantly reduced projectile velocity falloff after impacting a player.

Carbon 57​

The Carbon 57 is receiving a new Fabricator Mag attachment in Season 03 Reloaded, and we want to make sure both that magazine and the Prestige magazine offer distinct and compelling build paths. We decided to rework the Prestige magazine to fit mid-range builds and open the way for the post-launch magazine to boost aggressive play.

VST Attachment Adjustments

• MFS Renown Plus Magazine (Prestige Attachment)
  • No longer reduces Damage Range by 20%.
  • No longer improves mobility.
  • Now improves Damage Range by 20%.
  • Now improves Recoil Control and Bullet Deviation by 10%.

Marksman Rifles​

Warden 308​

Warden 308 Adjustments

• Removed some unintended weapon motion when strafing and turning with the Warden 308.

Pistols​

1911​

The 1911 has overshadowed the other pistols since its arrival. Specifically, we see players able to stretch out ranges with it far more effectively than with its counterparts. We are making some hefty range reductions to bring it more in line with the other pistols, as well as open up some design space for the upcoming Warden 308 Badlands Pistol Kit.

Adjusted​

• Restrictions
  • Added the following items to the list of restricted items:
    • Spikes
    • Hades LMG-SMG Conversion Kit
    • XR-3 Ion Sniper Rifle

GAMEPLAY​

New​

» Battle Royale & Resurgence «

• Spikes
  • High-powered perks that are now available exclusively through Buy Stations.
  • Each match will feature a random selection of 2 out of 3 available Spikes at every Buy Station.
  • Each Spike has a purchase limit of 2 per Buy Station.
  • Players may equip multiple Spikes; however, all held Spikes are lost upon death.
  • Available Spikes:
    • Armor Salvaging
      • Eliminations immediately grant 1 equipped armor plate.
    • Handicraft
      • Equipment regenerates over time.
    • Prone Firing
      • Greatly reduces recoil while prone.
      • Slightly reduces recoil while crouched.

LOOT & ECONOMY​

Adjusted​

» Black Ops Royale «

• Backpack Default Category
  • Opening the Backpack will now default to the Perks category.

• Weapon Upgrade Kit Rewards
  • Completing Executions and Bounty Contracts now rewards a Weapon Upgrade Kit.

» Battle Royale «

• Supply Box Duplicate Prevention
  • Supply Boxes will no longer drop duplicate equipment types:
    • Maximum of 1 Field Upgrade
    • Maximum of 1 Lethal
    • Maximum of 1 Tactical

• Equipment Drop Rate Balancing
  • Adjusted drop rates to better reflect commonly used and preferred equipment.
  • Increased drop rate for:
    • Molotov
  • Decreased drop rate for:
    • Deployable Cover
    • Phantom Signal
    • Needle Drone
    • C4

» Battle Royale & Resurgence «

• Equipment Rotation
  • Frag Grenade
    • Replaced with Cluster Grenade.
  • Shock Stick
    • Replaced with EMP Grenade.
  • Pinpoint Grenade
    • Replaced with Sensor Dart.

• Perk Pool Updates
  • Legendary Chests
    • Drill Instructor
    • Berserker
    • Ghost
    • Irradiated
  • Contract Rewards
    • Sprinter
    • Adaptive
    • Ghost
    • Irradiated

• Buy Station Updates
  • Added
    • Spikes
    • Removed
    • Counter UAV (CUAV)
    • Grappling Hook

• Final Circle Behavior
  • Items exposed to the gas zone will now be disabled immediately once Buy Stations shut down in the final circle.

This update to the final circle is intended to discourage players from remaining deep in the gas to utilize equipment, Field Upgrades, or Ammo Depots. The goal is to reinforce engagements within the intended safe zone. Additional changes are in development to address edge cases where players avoid combat by chaining Stims or repeatedly resupplying via Munitions Boxes in the gas, resulting in unintended endgame scenarios.

PUBLIC EVENTS​

New​

» Resurgence «

• Classified Weapon
  • Added to Resurgence playlists.

We’ve been pleased with the performance of the Classified Weapon in Battle Royale and are excited to bring it to Resurgence. As part of this addition, tuning adjustments have been made to better align with Resurgence’s faster pace and tighter engagements, while preserving the weapon’s unique identity.

CONTRACTS​

Adjusted​

» Battle Royale & Resurgence «

• Contract & Gas Circle Interaction
  • Contracts will no longer disappear immediately when entering the gas.

• Supply Run
  • Cash reward significantly reduced.
  • Added to Haven’s Hollow.

Supply Run is intended to provide a more affordable path to regain and progression, rather than serve as a primary source of cash. Certain strategies, such as vehicle usage, made the contract too easy to complete. This adjustment better aligns it with its intended role. Additional updates are planned to further define its identity.

• Most Wanted
  • Updated kill reward behavior in Casual Resurgence:
  • Eliminations now reduce the timer by 15 seconds (down from 30 seconds).

EQUIPMENT​

General​

» Battle Royale & Resurgence «

• 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

Adjusted​

» Battle Royale & Resurgence «

• Grappling Hook
  • Can now be used underwater in Battle Royale and Resurgence.

» Black Ops Royale «

• Armor Satchel
  • Now grants 8 armor plates upon initial pickup.

• Cymbal Monkey
  • Increased deployment animation speed.

KILLSTREAKS​

Adjusted​

• 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.
