Call of Duty: Warzone Drops Season 5 Reloaded Update, Patch Notes Revealed

Call of Duty: Warzone Drops Season 5 Reloaded Update, Patch Notes Revealed

Well, it seems like the developers have been busy tweaking things around in this latest update! As someone who’s spent countless hours in multiplayer battles, I can definitely appreciate the increased rate of fire for the MCW 6.8. That extra punch could mean the difference between a win and a close call.


The reloaded version of Season 5 for the game “Call of Duty: Warzone” is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC systems. As we approach the midpoint of Season 5 for “Warzone”, there’s growing anticipation about its upcoming significant update, which is expected with the launch of “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” in October. However, before that, Season 5 Reloaded has introduced numerous improvements to keep players engaged until then.

With the arrival of Season 5 Reloaded in Warzone, Activision has introduced two fresh weapons: the Spear and Torque 35 bow. Additionally, a new game mode called Supreme Resurgence has been rolled out, along with minor adjustments to the existing map. The majority of the Season 5 Reloaded update focuses on weapon balance, as 18 different weapons have either received a boost or had their power reduced. This will significantly impact the current meta (the most commonly used strategies and tactics).

Hey there fellow gamers! I’ve just got a peek at the details for today’s Season 5 Reloaded update in Call of Duty: Warzone. You can find all the juicy info right here, so let’s dive in and see what’s new!
