Weapon Balancing
At the launch of Season 04, weapons in Warzone saw a significant change to their damage profiles, which resulted in an overall increase to the duration of engagements. With Season 04 Reloaded we are placing a bigger emphasis on accuracy in gunfights. To achieve this, every Weapon has had its Warzone damage profiles adjusted to fit into this new balance paradigm with additional attention given to the most dominant Weapons. While this change will result in a wider range of Time to Kill values, meaning some Weapons will be able to kill faster when fired more accurately, and slower when not—it allows Weapons the necessary space to feel more distinct and promotes an ecosystem where each Weapon class can excel.

ATOMGRAD RAID
Atomgrad Raid Episode 04 is now available
Atomgrad will conclude in Season 04 Reloaded with an intense RAID experience for a squad of three Operators.
Whether that’s you and two friendlies or two mercenaries from the Call of Duty community (using the in-game “Looking for Party” feature), it is mission critical that you finish what you started here.

The Boys: Temp V Field Upgrades
Secure the W with superpowers while in the Warzone. Upon consuming the new Temp V Field Upgrade, Players are granted one of four random superpowers. These powers don’t act like a usual Field Upgrade, though… Once you use Temp V, you’re then free to activate this power whenever you wish. But if you’re eliminated from combat before activating the power, then like a normal Field Upgrade, it is lost upon death.
The four different superpowers you can get from Temp V:
Temp V is accessible in all Warzone Playlists, including DMZ, except Ranked Play. Temp V is limited in DMZ by effect (such as no Charge Jump) and scarcity.
BATTLE ROYALE, RESURGENCE, PLUNDER, LOCKDOWN
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 more.
To celebrate the launch of bringing Battle Royale to Vondel for the first time, the opening week of Season 04: Reloaded will focus on the new experience, with Battle Royale returning to Al Mazrah across the remainder of the season.
As a reminder, we will continue to rotate modes in and out of the Playlist on a weekly basis.
For regular updates about the Playlist and other Scheduled Events, check out the dedicatedWarzone Trello Board.
Map Updates
Vondel | Battle Royale
New Features
Starting with Resurgence Trios, the map will rotate every 15 minutes between Ashika Island and Vondel. This feature will give players an opportunity to enjoy the wide offering of maps and modes that Warzone has. We will closely monitor this feature and may look to expand upon it in future.

We have seen an increase in players staying in an airborne state to exploit the aerial advantage in order to obtain a better final placement. We feel this goes against the spirit of a Battle Royale experience, so by lowering the redeployment height with each circle closure we will see a better representation of fairness between being airborne vs. being on the ground.
We want to provide a hard counter to Ghost to offer more variety in the rock-paper-scissors encounters of Battle Royale and open up more play styles.
To reiterate the Weapon adjustments that specifically impact Warzone:

Plea for Help and Assimilation
Players Hunting Players
If a Player and their Squad kill too many Players in DMZ, that high-kill individual Player will be issued a warning. If they kill another Player, they can expect a Bounty on their head. Enemy Operators in the Exclusion Zone will then recieve intel on your position to secure a reward upon completion.
Good luck, have fun! Be good to each other!
That’s everything on Season 4 Reloaded.We’ll naturally be keeping tabs on how it all impacts the games in question, so stick with us right here for all the fallout from the update.
