Activision is set to drop the next major update for Season Four of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare within the next 2 hours, and here’s a snippet of what to expect with this new patch.
At 11 PM PT today, Call of Duty Modern Warfare’s Season Four is coming with a new operator and weapon along with several massive changes to Warzone. Out of this new update, the biggest of them all is the addition of a 200-player battle royale mode, which would be up for a limited time.
This new enhanced player cap for Warzone is currently limited to Battle Royale Quads, but we can only wait to see if Activision will introduce the higher capacity for Warzone’s other playable modes.
Also, Juggernaut Royale is another mode to be added to Warzone. In this mode, players would have to find one of the airdropped care packages to become the Juggernaut and make use of the mini-gun to attack vehicles and enemies.
Note that Juggernaut sent to Gulag pops a new Juggernaut care package on the map.
Here’s an overview of the gameplay:
Players who are traveling and fighting their way through the Warzone can now be on the lookout for Supply Run Contracts. Upon activation, players and their squad will be directed to a nearby Buy Station. Reach it within the time limit to get a discount on Buy Station purchases.
Modern Warfare players will have a new locale to deploy to Cheshire Park. Located in urban London, England, Cheshire Park is a picturesque garden and conservatory where Operators will battle from door to door or through the central flora-filled area. Also included in the update is a new multiplayer mode: Team Defender. Introduced nearly a decade ago, Team Defender returns to Modern Warfare as a fast-paced objective game mode that puts a twist on the traditional Capture the Flag formula.
Warzone players will also have a new piece of gear to look forward to – the Spotter Scope. This re-usable scope allows players to scan the environment around them and mark enemies without being detected. The update also introduces a new weapon to both Modern Warfare and Warzone – the Rytec AMR Sniper Rifle.
Please note that the Season Four Reloaded update will have a download size of approximately 22-36 GB for owners of the full version of Modern Warfare. Console owners must install a secondary download of approximately 3.5GB and then reboot it to access Multiplayer if desired. A reminder, console players can also choose to uninstall/remove other data packs (e.g., Special Operations), if no longer needed for smaller overall file size. For detailed information on uninstalling/removing other data packs, check the official page of Activision.
Once the Season Four Reloaded update is fully completed, it should minimally increase the overall digital footprint of the full version of Modern Warfare.
Existing free-to-play Warzone players will have a download size of approximately 22GB-30GB. Once finished, there will be a reduction in the overall footprint on their machines.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season Four Reloaded is set to launch a few hours from now (11 PM PT) June 29th but fully starts June 30th on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
