A major Season 4 update is headed to Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Warzone courtesy of Infinity Ward and Activision. The new update, named Season 4 Reloaded, is a chunky one and will start rolling out tonight, June 29, at 11 pm PDT.
Depending on the platform, the update will vary from 22-36 GB for Modern Warfare owners, and 22-30 GB for Warzone players. Console players will also need to install a secondary download of 3.5 GB. Once the installation is complete, Modern Warfare’s digital footprint will slightly increase, whereas there will be a slight decrease for Warzone.
A plethora of additions is coming to multiplayer, as well as battle royale with the latest update. The developers have also incorporated several weapon adjustments. Let’s dive into the patch notes released by Infinity Ward, prior to the update.

The most significant addition is perhaps the increased player count of 200 players for the battle royale. For now, it is only applicable to Battle Royale Quads, meaning 50 Quads will jump into Verdansk at once.
Supply Run Contracts are also headed to Warzone. After activating the contract, players will have to reach a nearby Buy Station within the time limit for a discount on Buy Station purchases.
A new piece of equipment, the Spotter Scope, awaits Warzone players. It is a high-powered and re-usable scope without the glint, enabling one to scan their surroundings and mark enemies while remaining undetected.
Moreover, the Gulag will receive semi-auto rifles, snipers, and a “just fists and a throwing knife” melee loadout. BR Trios, BR Duos, BR Solos, and Plunder: Blood Money are the other available Warzone modes.
A new sniper rifle, the Rytec AMR, and a new Operator, Roze, will also be joining the multiplayer and the battle royale, even though the patch notes don’t mention those.
