Call of Duty Season 3 Reloaded has arrived to Vanguard, bringing the new Sphere map, the H4 Blixen submachine gun, and a new Task Force Harpy operator. The patch notes for the update also include several major bug fixes.

　　Sledgehammer Games has addressed a few map exploits. Players can no longer reach unintended areas either near the Office location on the Berlin map or at the Dry Docks and Loading Dock areas of Sub Pens. Additionally, care packages will no longer fall through the stairs near the Palace Outer Walls location of the Castle map.

　　Now Playing: COD: Vanguard & Warzone - Season Three ‘Classified Arms’ Cinematic Trailer

　　Two pieces of equipment were nerfed in multiplayer. Vanguard's No 69 Stun Grenade tactical equipment received a damage reduction from 25 to 5, and the S-Mine 44 received a nerf specifically in hardcore mode to decrease the explosive damage from 50 to 10.

　　The patch notes also mention changes to Season 3's trophy system equipment. Melee attacks will now properly deal damage to a trophy system, while Ammo Box Field Upgrades can now be destroyed by the equipment.

　　For Zombies mode, the developer provided gameplay adjustments for Vanguard's special enemy type, Zaballa the Deceiver. Zaballa's electrical attacks are now more lethal, but the update shortened Zaballa's mask swap animation to reduce her invulnerability time.

　　Reticles earned in Zombies have also been adjusted so that a central dot is always present to assist with aiming. Additionally, the patch notes addressed an issue that previously prevented picking up blueprint versions of the Skal Crusher as a throwable weapon.

　　Warzone's Season 3 Reloaded update is set to arrive on May 25, and here are all the details about the new fast travel system and game mode coming to the battle royale.

　　The full patch notes for Vanguard's update can be found below, as shared by Sledgehammer Games.
