The ongoing season has been a massive turning point for Warzone, especially as the devs banked on nostalgia and reintegrated fan-favorite weapons alongside the original map. The Warzone Season 3 reloaded mid-season patch will introduce some interesting tweaks to the original setting, alongside the standard offering of new maps for BO6 multiplayer. So, here’s everything you need to know about the Warzone and Black Ops 6 Season 3 Reloaded patch notes.
Warzone and Black Ops 6 Season 3 Reloaded Release Date
The Season 3 Reloaded update for Warzone and BO6 will arrive on May 1 at 9:00 AM PT for all platforms. The update will also be available for pre-load on all platforms, so be sure to download it to check out the new content immediately after release.
Warzone Season 3 Reloaded New Content
The original big map is receiving some of the modern additions associated with Urzikstan in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded, alongside new LTMs (Limited-Time Modes). Here’s everything you can expect.
Verdansk Ranked Play
For the first time, Battle Royale Ranked Play will be available in Verdansk, allowing players to enjoy a thoroughly competitive experience. The mode will see 50 teams of three players jump onto the map, totaling 150 players.
Standard BR rules apply, so the mode is all about outlasting squads and eliminating opponents. The higher your team’s placement, the more SR (Skill Rating) points you get. You can also earn unique seasonal rewards as you climb ranks.
Map Updates
Verdansk is receiving a touch-up in the mid-season update, which will likely make things even more chaotic. Most of these updates are returning changes that were removed when the big map was reintegrated. Here’s a list of all the changes:
- High-value Loot Zones
- Vertical Ascenders
- Portable Decontamination Station
- Bunker Buster Killstreak
- Train returns alongside Train Station interiors
- Big Game Bounty Contract & Train Recon Contract
- Specialist Perk
- Triumph TF 250-X coming to Verdansk
The Train’s return already has fans hyped, seeing as it was a memorable fixture during Verdansk’s heyday. Besides this, additions such as Vertical Ascenders and the High-value Loot Zones are sure to refine the already dynamic combat.
New Weapons & Attachments
Mid-season patches are typically light on new weapons, but Season 3 Reloaded will bring with it the Ladra SMG. The full-auto submachine gun pairs a blistering fire rate with low recoil, but lags behind in the base damage department. With that being said, it should remain competitive against the meta SMGs when it comes to mid-range combat. The Ladra will be an unlockable reward in the upcoming High Art Event.
In terms of new attachments, players can look forward to a Conversion Kit for the Goblin Mk2. Using the Goblin Mk2 7.62 Mini-Rocket Conversion, the precise rifle can be turned into a fully automatic weapon with explosive rocket ammunition.
Warzone LTMs
Two LTMs are making their way to Verdansk following the update. Here’s an overview of both:
- High Trip Resurgence: Continuing CoD’s love affair with 4/20, the Resurgence LTM brings a colorful twist to Verdansk. In it, Operators will deploy with one of several predetermined weapons and their fists. To improve your odds, seek out Shades found in supply caches, giving the Operator various boosts, including faster reloads, super speed, and no fall damage.
- Massive Resurgence: As the name suggests, this LTM amps up Resurgence to 120 players. The objective remains the same: stay alive to redeploy fallen squadmates and become the final team left standing.
Black Ops 6 Season 3 Reloaded New Content
There’s plenty of content in store for Black Ops 6, including new maps, perks, and game modes. So, here’s everything to look forward to.
Three New Multiplayer Maps
The maps keep on coming in BO6, and the Season 3 reloaded mid-season patch is introducing three new maps to the playlist. First among them is Haven, a dilapidated KGB Safe House from the 1990s that has turned into the perfect close-quarters combat zone. Next up is Signal, a Strike map set within an underground submarine hangar filled with narrow corridors and dimly-lit corners to keep players on the edge at all times. The final new map is Blazetown, a 4/20-inspired reskin of Nuketown, best enjoyed with the latest Seth Rogen skin.
New Weapons
As always, the new weapons are shared across BO6 and Warzone, so you can look forward to trying out the Ladra in the multiplayer. The Goblin Mk2 7.62 Mini-Rocket Conversion Kit will also be available in the title, and given its splash damage capabilities, the weapon is likely to be a nuisance.
New Perk
Vendetta is the new Recon Perk joining BO6 in Season 3 Reloaded. It marks your killer’s last known position for a short duration. You’ll also get a bonus score for eliminating that enemy. However, the Vigilance Perk counters being marked by Vendetta.
New Black Ops 6 LTMs
A seasonal refresh means new LTMs to partake in, and players can check out three Limited Time Modes before the release of Season 4 near the end of May. These include:
- High Art Event Pass: May 1- May 15
- Blaze of Glory: May 6- May 15
- Call of Duty Endowment Got Your Six: TBD
A new gauntlet-style mode, named Joint Operations, will also be joining BO6. In it, players will take on challenges across a series of Multiplayer mode variants, including Team Deathmatch, Domination, Hardpoint, Kill Order, and Kill Confirmed. It will also feature unique modifiers such as Visual Impairment, Double Health, Hardcore, Paranoia Sounds, Low Gravity, Double Jump, and Increased Movement Speed.
Zombies Content
Rounding out the BO6 content are new inclusions to Zombies. Season 3 saw the introduction of the Shattered Veil map, and the mid-season update will see it receive a Directed Mode. On top of this, the Ray Gun Mark II Wonder Weapon will now be available across all maps via Mystery Boxes.
Lastly, the new Zombie Snacks LTM arrives alongside the new update, adding a resource management spin to the normally chaotic Zombies experience. In it, your character’s energy will deplete on taking damage, jumping, mantling, sliding, and diving, all denoted by an on-screen energy bar. To replenish your energy, you’ll need to consume snacks, drinks, Perk-A-Colas, chew GobbleGums, and get back into the action.
That sums up everything you need to know about the upcoming Season 3 Reloaded update for Warzone and Black Ops 6. Which new addition are you looking forward to the most? Be sure to let us know in the comments.
