Your first patch notes are here for the MW2 and Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded Update. Here's what's new in the Mid-Season Update:
MW2 Season 2 Reloaded Patch Notes
New Weapons
torrent of time
A new Marksman rifle, the Tempus Torrent, will be available to unlock in Season 2 Reloaded.
Most likely, this new weapon can be unlocked through an in-game challenge that has yet to be revealed.
shuriken
While not nearly as exciting as a new primary weapon, the Shuriken lethal team is coming to Season 2 via the mid-game update.
The Shuriken is actually already present on Ashika Island, where it behaves very similarly to the Throwing Knife.
Here it is how to unlock all new season 2 weapons in the game!
New multiplayer maps
A new 6v6 multiplayer map is coming to Season 2 Reloaded and while we don't know its name yet, we do get a preview of what's to come.
This map will be the first all-new 6v6 arena to come to MW2 since launch day.
Reportedly, the map was initially slated for later in the game's lifespan, but was brought forward thanks to early development.
The mountain resort spa map will be a breath of fresh air much appreciated by multiplayer fans everywhere.

new modes
All or nothing
In All Or Nothing, players will spawn with only throwing knives and a pistol with no ammo. Each player will get additional Perks like Scavenger, allowing them to take bullets to take out enemies.
The first player to accumulate 20 eliminations is crowned the winner.
relegation zone
In Drop Zone, players must capture objective zones and hold them, similar to Hardpoint. However, every 15 seconds, a new care package is dropped on occupied zones, meaning the mode quickly turns into chaos.
This classic multiplayer mode was first seen in Modern Warfare 3 and appeared more recently in Vanguard.
One in the bedroom
In this iconic free-for-all mode, each operator gets a single-round pistol to work with. Each kill they land grants them another bullet, but miss and you'll have to rely on melee attacks.
With only three respawns available to each player, the last man standing is the winner.
festive event
Although Path of the Ronin coming to an end, there's a new holiday-themed event making its debut in Season 2 Reloaded.
While we don't know exactly what the limited-time event has to offer, we hope it will be themed around spring celebrations or Easter egg hunts.
weapon balance
Of course, Season 2 Reloaded will also bring a variety of weapon upgrades and nerfs to overhaul the meta.
Right now, many fans are calling for a strong nerf to the KV Broadside shotgun that dominates both MW2 Multiplayer and Warzone.

Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded Patch Notes
redeploy drones
Joining the Season 2 Reloaded release is also the new Redeploy Drones. Much like Warzone 1's balloon system, this new mechanic will allow players to engage hovering drones before parachuting into flight and repositioning.
Drone redeployment will only be available in Revival mode on Ashika Island.
They also come with some key differences compared to redeploy balloons. Many drones will relocate to ensure they are still around when a circle collapses.
And what's more, Redeploy Drones can also be easily attacked and shot down by fixed missiles. However, a new drone will fly after a short delay, when the area is safe again.
At this time, Warzone 2 players can also find new Redeploy packs in Battle Royale: this is what they do.
Revival Solos, duets, trios, quadruples
After numerous complaints about how Activision is treating Resurgence fans, the official call of duty twitter account had an important announcement to make:
Resurgence Solos, Duos, Trios, and Quads will be included in every weekly playlist from Season 2 Reloaded through Season 3.
๐ข With Season 02 Reloaded, we will be including all Resurgence squad sizes in each weekly Playlist for the remainder of the season.
Stay tuned for the announcement blog, patch notes, and season update later this month.

No matter the size of your squad, you'll be able to enjoy Ashika Island's Resurgence mode for the rest of Season 2.
DMZ Changes
No changes have been announced for Warzone 2's DMZ extraction shooter mode as of yet. However, players need not worry about their bootleg or missions resetting this time around.
In fact, we have collected all DMZ faction missions for season 2 and beyond here. Don't miss out on your chance to earn your free rewards!
DMZ is likely to see more changes in Season 2 Reloaded, and we'll update this article when more are announced.
And don't forget that Rank and Loot modes are coming soon to Warzone 2 also! However, neither will arrive in Season 2 Reloaded.
