The first-person shooter’s newest Tier One Operator is Iskra, an Urzikstani native. As a part of the Chimera Faction committed to immobilizing the Al-Qatala forces, she is coming to Verdansk. The new operator will be available as a store bundle along with two Legendary weapon blueprints, a Legendary knife skin, the “Savagery” helicopter skin, an Epic Finishing Move, and more. Coupled with her legendary weapons, she will provide a lethal loadout in Warzone and Modern Warfare. Infinity Ward said more details about Iskra’s journey, and her Legendary weapons will emerge later this week.

The “Twin Stars” bundle, featuring a couple of weapon blueprints, will also be coming to Modern Warfare this week. The pack offers a Parallax LMG blueprint and a Legendary handgun blueprint that promotes “silent, but deadly approaches to combat.”. The developers recommend putting these in a loadout paired with the Dead Silence Field Upgrade and a Throwing Knife for ultimate stealth eliminations.

Some other multiplayer additions

The developers are further adding Demolition, an objective mode that provides players with bombs to demolish two sites. Other than that, the new 3v3 Knives Only mode is coming to Gunfight. Players need to trio up and drop their firepower at the door to opt for a more lethal and leaner loadout. Players have to engage in throwing knives, melee, or execute finishing moves to win six rounds and claim victory.

Meanwhile, also coming to Modern Warfare is Shoot the Rusty Ship 24/7. Featuring Shipment, Shoot House, and Rust, the playlist focuses on close-quarters combat.

Apart from these, some bug related fixes will also be implemented for the Modern Warfare multiplayer and Warzone. But, no further updates for Warzone this week, apart from the addition of Iskra. Instead, a series of Warzone live streams are planned for the week. These include the upcoming Wrecked Royale Charity Tournament, ESPN Esports Twitch event, and the return of Warstreams from the Call of Duty World League.
