The big Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded update is now available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Alongside it, the extensive list of patch notes has been released, which you can check out below. The update includes a new special playlist which brings 200 players to Warzone for the first time. Alongside that impressive addition, it also finally nerfs one of the most overpowered weapons in the game.
The update includes a new limited-time mode with 200-player Warzone Quads, while it also introduces new Supply Run Contracts. There is also a new Spotter Scope item that will help snipers move through the map without flashing the familiar "glint" that exposes their location. This is all among the content recently announced as part of the upcoming Season 4 roadmap.
Live until July 7, a double XP weekend is also in effect for both Modern Warfare and Warzone. It applies to weapon XP, standard XP, and XP tiers. This means you still have a few days to make use of it. Don't miss your chance to increase your ranks more quickly!
However, you could encounter issues. Some players are reporting that their double XP isn't being counted correctly. This is almost certainly an unintended technical issue.
This big new Modern Warfare/Warzone update also makes a series of weapon balance changes. The AX-50 sniper rifle now has an increased damage range, while the HDR sniper now delivers a guaranteed one-hit kill when you land a shot to the lower torso from any range. The Dragunov sniper rifle now has faster aim-down-sight (ADS) speed, while it fires faster as well.
The AK-47 assault rifle sees its ADS speed increased, while the Grau 5.56 has had its damage range reduced, answering calls to finally nerf the Grau. The gun also sees a "slight increase" to high-frequency recoil, as well as a reduction to the recoil compensation and range decrease offer by the Tempus 26.4" Archangel and FSS 20.8" Nexus barrels. Additionally, all shotgun slugs now have a faster velocity and increased damage ranges.

There are a lot of bug fixes in the update as well, including improved stability on PC and a fix for an issue that could cause the Operator Krueger's eyes to pop out of his head during an execution move. The update also allows you to destroy recon drones with throwing knives, while gas masks in Warzone will now become cracked (limiting your visibility) when you're taking damage near or in the circle.
The June 29 patch is a very big one, weighing in at 22-36 GB depending on your platform for those who own the full version of Modern Warfare. Console players must download this, in addition to a second update of around 3.5 GB. Free-to-play Warzone players will see a 22-30 GB update.
WHAT’S NEW:
200 Player Warzone!
Verdansk will now be able to hold up to 200 players. Jump into Battle Royale Quads with 200 players!
Supply Run Contracts!
Upon activation, you and your squad (if applicable) will be directed to a nearby Buy Station. Reach it within the time limit to get a discount on Buy Station purchases.
Spotter Scope!
Think of this as a high-powered scope without the glint; this re-usable scope allows you to scan the environment around you and mark enemies without being detected. Perfect for scouting ahead, the Spotter Scope is a great tool for Operators who want to plan their next move while keeping a low profile.
DATA PACK DOWNLOAD:
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, then reboot the game to access Multiplayer, if desired. A reminder, console players can choose also to uninstall/remove other data packs (e.g. Special Operations), if no longer needed for a smaller overall file size. For detailed information on uninstalling/removing other data packs, read this article.
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 to the overall footprint on their machines.
