The patch notes for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare‘s Season 6 update (1.27) have finally been revealed by Activision and Infinity Ward.

Most of the major new Season 6 updates won’t be found in the technical patch notes. For instance, Warzone‘s Verdansk map has just been updated with a new subway system that lets you bounce around key points on the map. Warzone players are also now able to enjoy an Armoured Royale mode which is essentially a vehicle-focused take on Warzone‘s chaotic battle royale gameplay. Elsewhere, Modern Warfare fans can run around a couple of new multiplayer maps as well as a recently uploaded “Killstreak Confirmed” multiplayer mode.

Horror buffs may be excited to see that this Season 6 update gets into the spirit of the season. Not only is there a new vampire bat finishing move you can unlock via the battle pass, but Infinity Ward is teasing a special Haunting of Verdansk event that will run from October 20 to November 3. While Activision and Infinity Ward haven’t revealed the details of this event as of yet, recent leaks suggest that it will likely bring an endless night option to the Warzone map and could even add zombies to the battle royale for a limited time.

As for the patch notes, you should expect too many major updates right out of the gate. Much like most of the updates that accompany a new CoD season, these patch notes largely focus on bug fixes and minor tweaks. Shotguns received a slight buff in Warzone (and the Origin 12 has been nerfed slightly in the same mode) but substantial balance changes typically don’t come until later in the season.
