MW2 & Warzone 2 S3 Reloaded Patch Notes Features Camo Challenges, New Weapons & 6v6 Map
Call of Duty’s midseason patch notes have finally arrived, providing players with the latest intel on upcoming events and expected features.
One of the first things you can check out is the new map, Alboran Hathchery, a medium-sized remote facility in Spain with 6v6 multiplayer mode. Players can also equip the latest state-of-the-art handguns through the in-game challenges. While the FTAC Siege is excellent for rapid fire rates and swift movement speeds, the GS Magna packs a powerful punch that becomes even deadlier when you hold down the trigger.
As you may expect, Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 3 Reloaded will hold a few events with the return of Camo Challenges and the continuation of the Trophy Hunt. Although the Trophy Hunt is over, you can still claim your gifts on therewardspage to get some exclusive gear and cosmetics.
The Camo Challenges come with ten new designs for your loadout, including a Weapon Charm from the Reloaded Trophy Hunt. Each time you complete a weapon category, you’ll receive a camouflage based on the number of kills during a round. For example, players can perform 250 Operator Kills for the Assault Rifle camo, while 50 eliminations in a mounted state grant them an LMG customization.
Raid players can anticipate a new episode with Price, Farah, and Alex as they explore an old train tunnel in a perilous mission. Last but not least is the new Exclusion Zone ofDMZ, the Koschei Complex, a mysterious area set in Al Mazrah. You’ll be able to go through four different entrances to reach this formidable base, where you can search for an Intel Drop to get more details in-game.
There is a ton of other content to look forward to, likeWarzone 2 Ranked Play Beta, along with the return of Faceoff. You check it all out in the full overview of the Call of Duty Season 3 Reloaded patch notes:

Additional Features
WARZONE 2.0
The patch notes detailed in the section below affect all Warzone 2.0 content across Battle Royale, Resurgence, Plunder, and DMZ.
All Maps | All Modes
With UAVs now being available in all Buy Stations, we wanted to better balance their power so that they are as equally balanced for Solo’s as they are through Quads. We felt that, like all Killstreaks, the Killstreak should come from the Player who calls it in so when players hear “Enemy UAV Overhead”, they know that the total radius covered is of a fixed, known quantity across all modes.

QUALITY OF LIFE
BATTLE ROYALE
The patch notes detailed in the section below are exclusive to Battle Royale, which includes but is not limited to standard Battle Royale, Resurgence, Plunder, and all respective variants.

RANKED PLAY (BETA)
The Warzone Ranked Play Season 03 (BETA) is moments away for all players who have reached Level 45.
Play competitive 150 Player Battle Royale Trios matches using competitive settings developed by Treyarch, Raven Software, and Infinity Ward. Moving forward, Players can expect 1:1 synchronized settings between Ranked Play and World Series of Warzone.
Ultimately, the goal with Ranked Play is to deliver a competitive and fair system of play, all while striving to ensure a consistent experience across all Battle Royale modes. To achieve this, the Ranked Play (BETA) is launching with initial gameplay restrictions in order to gather crucial feedback and data for the full launch of Ranked Play in Season 04, and beyond.

Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
We have recently made a number of improvements to the “Most Wanted” Contract and have enjoyed seeing a huge lift in engagement, so we wanted to balance this gameplay by being equally as rewarding for Players who successfully eliminate the target.
All Maps | Battle Royale & Resurgence
We have heard the feedback that Players want more reliability on the contents of what is in a Buy Station, as well as how much stock there is of each item. We agree with this feedback but will continue to monitor this, and the pricing adjustments, for future Seasonal Updates.
