A brand new patch is available now for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone. The update comes with new playlists, general fixes to bugs and exploits, new gameplay elements for Warzone, and more.

One of the highlights of the patch is a few brand new blueprints that are available in-game, including the MK9 Bruen LMG and the By the Toe SMG, which is a variant of the AUG. These awesome blueprints can be snagged inside both Modern Warfare and Warzone.

Infinity Ward is also rotating in three playlists for Modern Warfare multiplayer, including fan-favorite Shoot the Ship-24/7. Reinfected Ground War is also a part of the playlist rotation, as fighting off hoards of zombies on a massive map is always fun.

And lastly, Infinity Ward is adding two Gunfight modes to the game, Blueprint Gunfight and 3v3 Cranked Gunfight. Blueprint Gunfight indicates that players will be able to bring their own guns into the grey, which usually isn’t the case in Gunfight. Meanwhile, Cranked mode asks players to get kills before they blow up, so 3v3 Cranked Gunfight means that camping is out of the question.

Warzone is keeping Solos, Trios, and Quads, as well as Plunder Trios. Perhaps the most exciting addition is the brand new “Most Wanted” contract for Warzone. The game launched with three contracts on the map, but it is now getting a fourth. As soon as a player grabs the “Most Wanted” contract, the entire server will know where they are, making them a high-value target. However, if they survive, they will be rewarded with loads of goodies.

The patch is making an important change to the circle in Warzone, addressing the speed and size of the gas in the game. However, Infinity Ward has not yet clarified what that means, so players will need to jump in and find out for themselves. There is also a fresh new item in Warzone called the Armor Satchel, that allows players to hold more armor plates.

The update is also addressing quite a few bugs and issues for both Modern Warfare and Warzone, including map exploited, emblems not appearing correctly, and more. Here are the full patch notes:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Modern Warfare

  • Blueprint Gunfight Reinfected Ground War 3v3 Cranked Gunfight Shoot the Ship 24/7 (includes Cranked and Grind!)

Warzone

  • Solos, Trios, Quads Plunder Trios Most Wanted Contract – Instead of a random Operator being marked on your Tac Map, you are voluntarily putting a Bounty on yourself for any squad to see in Verdansk. Of course, this great risk does have some great rewards…

 

GENERAL FIXES:

  • Added a Challenges tab to the main multiplayer screen for easier access Adjusting how the audio is played for the Precision Airstrike so it follows the plane more precisely Fixed a bug where players using KBM in Game Battles could make custom weapon blueprints that could also be used in multiplayer or Warzone.

Fix for an exploit on Hackney Yard while playing Infected Fixed a bug that would prevent players from being able to melee an enemy while on top of an ATV Various out of bounds and exploit fixes After the last update, Talon’s character model appeared stretched with graphical corruption issues while in the squad walk. This has been fixed Fix for some Season 3 emblems appearing with incorrect text Fixed an issue with Kreuger’s eyes while completing a finishing move Fixed a bug where some watches were appearing in the wrong direction when gesturing Fixed a bug where players could lose the option to pick their favorite Faction in the Operator menu Fixed a bug where white lighting could be seen while moving or firing a weapon near specific locations Added a gamepad-only Deadzone option that allows players to adjust the inner range in which stick input will not be registered.

WARZONE:

  • The ability to view available XP tokens is not visible in the Warzone Menu. This has been fixed.

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and more! The more cash your team collected the cooler the coin. Get above 3.5 Million to find out the highest rating!
