Warzone Season 3 Reloaded roadmap/content
Hot Pursuit LTM
Hot Pursuit is a high-intensity, squad-based mode based on Black Ops Royale and built around a Police vs. Thieves mechanic, with a strong focus on vehicles and fast-paced gameplay. Set on Avalon with 100 players, the mode uses Resurgence rules, allowing teammates to respawn as long as one squad member is still alive.
The Police team is equipped with vehicles like the ATV, JLTV, and Light Heli, all designed for tracking and pressure. On the other side, Thieves rely on speed and evasion, using vehicles like the UTV and Dirt Bike.
As with other Warzone modes, the last squad standing wins.
Prop Hunt Royale LTM
Prop Hunt Royale brings the classic party mode to Warzone for the first time under a larger, round-based 24v24 format on Rebirth Island. Teams alternate between playing as Props and Hunters.
As Props, players have to transform into usual objects and find a convincing hiding spot. They can change form up to three times during a round and are equipped with limited Decoys and Stun Grenades to distract or escape Hunters. If at least one Prop survives until the round ends, the Props secure the win.
As Hunters, players must scan the environment and eliminate disguised Props. Hunters can loot weapons and gear from caches, but lethals and field upgrades are disabled to keep the focus on tracking. If all Props are eliminated before time runs out, the Hunters win the round.
The first team to win three rounds will claim victory.
Spikes (new equipment)
Spikes introduce a set of purchasable combat stimulants that give players powerful passive advantages during matches. They will be available at Buy Stations once the Warzone Season 3 Reloaded patch goes live.
Spikes offer three distinct upgrades: Armor Salvaging, which automatically grants an Armor Plate after each elimination; Prone Firing, which significantly reduces recoil while crouched or prone; and Handicraft, which gradually regenerates Equipment over time. These buffs can swing fights, but if you get eliminated, you’ll need to buy them again.
Cluster Grenade (new addition)
The Cluster Grenade is being added to Core Battle Royale and Resurgence modes after previously appearing in Black Ops Royale. This lethal expands into a wide area of effect, effective for flushing out enemies and pressuring squads in tight engagements.
New weapons and attachments in Warzone S3 Reloaded
Following the MK35-ISR AR, VST SMG, and Strider 300 sniper rifle in the first half of Season 3, two more new weapons are coming together with several attachments for specific guns.
- Siren special weapon – Charge energy weapon. Fires a high-damage, slow-moving projectile that passes through foes.
- Katana melee weapon – High damage, moderate range, and moderate attack speed.
- MK.78 Lightframe PDW Conversion – Converts the LMG into a more mobile and aggressive weapon, retaining much of its power at the expense of additional recoil and reduced damage range.
- Warden 308 Badlands Pistol Kit – A pistol configuration for the marksman rifle that sacrifices control and range for improved handling and mobility with strong firepower at close range.
- Carbon 57 Fabricator Mag – A magazine for the SMG that automatically replenishes its own ammo by fabricating additional rounds as soon as you stop firing.
- Ryden 45K Apex Sweeper Rig – Transforming the SMG into semi-auto, this attachment provides ammunition rounds that break apart in flight dealing damage with each piece that connects.
Warzone Season 3 Reloaded events
- Call of Duty x RoboCop Event Pass – Unlock rewards across the Free and Premium tracks, including the RoboCop operator and Siren special weapon, by reaching XP milestones through regular play.
