Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3 is here and Activision has dropped a hefty slate of patch notes outlining all the changes we can expect in the battle royale’s next season of content.
Coming in Warzone Season 3 is the return of a fan-favorite game mode, a couple of new Caldera locations, two new weapons, and an additional operator. There’s no sign of Godzilla or King Kong yet, but it won’t be long before the megafauna begin stomping about the place.
Scroll down to read the patch notes in full, or read about the highlights right here.
Caldera Iron Trials returns as a bonus game mode. Pitched as a more brutal experience, it reduces the rate of health regeneration, makes legendary weapons harder to find, and doesn’t include any free loadout drops. Plus, buy station prices are increased, although you’ll keep your cash after dying.
There are a couple of new areas on Caldera to explore. The Dig Site is an abandoned excavation zone littered with the ancient remains of massive gorilla-esque and lizard-like monsters. The Peak, Runway, and Lagoon areas have also been updated with new buildings, hangers, and pathways, so they’ll look a little different from what you’re used to.
The Gulag has changed, too. When you kick the bucket, you’ll now be transported to the interior of a ship moored just off the coast of the island.
A nerf to snipers
Two new weapons have been introduced: the M1916 semi-auto rifle and the Nikita AVT assault rifle. A bunch of handling tweaks have also been made to several existing weapons, while sniper rifles have been nerfed. Several snipers will now only one-shot players when fired up to a maximum of 90 meters from their target, and several won’t do so at all.
“The long-standing ‘one-shot rule’ [has] unfortunately diluted the Sniper class into one important metric, speed to click heads,” the patch notes read.
“Snipers may now use damage ranges as a defining characteristic of their one-shot potential. This not only brings more identity to each weapon but means attachments that provide the lighter and quicker sniper rifles the Damage Range stat will increase their ability to one-shot at increased distances.”
A new Operator – Mateo Hernandez – has been introduced, too. He’s available instantly to anyone who purchases the Warzone Season 3 battle pass
On top of that, there are a bunch of new gameplay features to dig into, including a bunch of new contracts, quality-of-life adjustments to deployable gadgets, and some tweaks to the loot that spawns across Caldera. Buy Stations will also no longer ask you to confirm your purchase, which should make buying weapons while the bullets are flying a little smoother.
Finally, Operation Monarch is a limited-time event that will feature Godzilla and King Kong. The monster bash will feature a new Quads game mode and go live May 11 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm GMT, which is 2am AEST on May 12.

Warzone Season 3 patch notes: gameplay
New Features
- “Sabotage” Contract
- Players will be given a vehicle target somewhere on the map. Destruction of the target will be rewarded with an Armored Truck Deployment via plane. Be warned, this Armored Truck can just as easily become someone else’s…
- Players will be given a vehicle target somewhere on the map. Destruction of the target will be rewarded with an Armored Truck Deployment via plane. Be warned, this Armored Truck can just as easily become someone else’s…
- High Value Loot Zones (In-Season)
- These zones are represented on the Tac Map by a very appropriate “$” sign and will provide the best looting opportunities. These zones will be complimented by Rebirth Supply Boxes that will provide recurring loot opportunities.
With Season One, we introduced Public Events, like Cash Drops, during Infil to draw Players towards new loot locations. We have been happy with the results of these ‘honeypot’ opportunities but we want to take it a step further. Starting with Operation Monarch, we will be introducing “High Value Loot Zones” to provide new, fruitful opportunities for Players willing to take the risk.
General Adjustments
- Gas Mask
- Will no longer interrupt a falling Player, thus allowing them to still be able to pull their parachute when falling to preserve their life.
- Won’t play animation when the Player is ADS and affected by the gas from Nebula V Rounds
The Gas Mask remains a continued focus for our Quality of Life efforts. It plays an important role both in gameplay and the visceral Call of Duty feeling, but we felt that we had seen one too many videos of Players jumping from high heights into the Gas and the game incorrectly prioritizing the Gas Mask animation over the parachute… and we all know how that scenario ends.
- “Most Wanted” Contract
- Timer reduction via the following…
- Eliminating opponents reduces the timer by 20 seconds
- Opening Supply Boxes reduces the timer by 5 seconds
- We want this to be a Contract that both promotes and rewards aggressive play.
- Players can no longer use the Tac Map to ping an enemy Most Wanted target directly.
- We felt this method was unfairly punishing and provided too great a degree of accuracy that was almost impossible to be countered by the target.
- The refresh rate of the Most Wanted target on the Tac Map has been increased, to counterbalance the removal of the above ping.
- This brings balance and still allows tracking of the approximate location of the target.
- Timer reduction via the following…
We reviewed the data for the Most Wanted Contract and we felt that improvements needed to be made to increase its engagement and success rate, whilst still retaining the all important risk/reward that it offers.
- “Bounty” Contract
- Speed increase to Tac Map refresh rate
- This is especially noticeable when a target is in a vehicle to better inform Players that a vehicle chase may be required.
- Speed increase to Tac Map refresh rate
- Deployable Buy Stations
- When a Player pings a Deployable Buy Station, there will now be dedicated audio/narration to better inform squad mates of the Players’ intentions.
- Redeploy Positioning Improvements
- Players who redeploy via Gulag victory or are bought back will now spawn in close proximity to their squad or Loadout.
Caldera Adjustments
Loot that spawns across Caldera have been adjusted…
- Added Perks
- Battle Hardened
- Engineer
- High Alert
- Restock
- Tempered
- Quick Fix
- Scavenger
- Pointman (Plunder Exclusive)
- Notes:
- Only one of each Perk can be equipped at any one time.
- Lootable Perks can be pinged to communicate to your squad.
- Lootable Perks are additive to Loadout Perks.
- All Perks are unequipped on death but do not drop.
We want to further increase the value and rewards of looting during the mid-game. It’s important for both pacing and movement in Battle Royale that there are always new rewards to be found for Players who rotate through locations for greater loot advantages, and our first step on this path is to bring single Perks into loot. From our internal testing, this change has brought a wealth of new Player stories and we will continue to roll out additional Perks in this manner as we review player feedback and data on how it improves the pacing and experience of Battle Royale. These lootable perks will launch first in Caldera, and then to Rebirth Island at a later date.
Rebirth Island Adjustments
- Spawn Protection Improvements
- Removed the damage reduction scaling system that was based on ground distance
- System is disabled if a Player is near the ground or an opponent
- Players who have the shield icon will only take a flat 25% of the damage received
- Spawn protection will no longer reduce gas circle damage
Whilst Spawn Protection plays an important role in any multi-life game mode, we felt it needed some extra refinement to make sure it cannot be exploited by Players. We will continue to monitor Player behavior in this area and make further changes throughout the season if required.
- Weapon Trade Station Adjustments
- Reduced Specialist Token drop rate
- We’ve enjoyed the engagement Players have been having with the Weapon Trade Station and the Specialist Token reward, but felt it was slightly on the high side so have made a reduction.
- The station will now look for empty space to drop your rewards
- We found it a bit annoying to pick up loot after you traded your weapon so we’ve polished this moment. The system will now always look for an empty space when dropping your rewards
Later this season…
- Footstep Audio Improvements
- We are looking to bring in additional audio improvements to footsteps during the season as a priority.
- Slide Camera Lock Improvement
- We have heard from our community that the camera lock that can occasionally happen while sliding down a vertical descent can be frustrating and lead to a negative outcome in a combat encounter. We are pleased to announce that this will be addressed soon.
Warzone Season 3 patch notes: UI/UX
- Buy Stations
- No longer require confirmation when making a purchase
The confirmation box when making a Buy Station purchase had good intentions, but we felt that the muscle memory had become so ingrained in Players to double-tap twice in succession. This was causing unnecessary friction in a potentially hostile combat situation, versus the unlikelihood of mistakes being made. We plan to make additional refinements to the Buy Station experience during the Season.
Warzone Season 3 patch notes: bug fixes

- Fixed an issue that caused the Player’s view to be obstructed when using Park’s “Petal Pusher” Operator Skin.
- Fixed an issue that allowed Players to clip into stairs in a certain area of the map.

- Capacity increased to 42, up from 38
- .303 British Round Mags
- The Assault Rifle Bravo (VG) has considerable close to mid-range potential–however, as a fast-firing burst Weapon, it would often burn through its magazine capacity rather quickly, leaving the wielder outgunned in longer distance or larger-scale engagements. With this change we are aiming to minimize one of the Weapon’s more obvious disadvantages and inch it ever closer to viability.

- Min Damage increased to 28, up from 26
- Handgun Charlie (BOCW)

Handgun Charlie (BOCW) has been a truly dominant Secondary Weapon. Due to its substantial headshot multiplier, Handgun Charlie (VG) was able to achieve Primary Weapon TTKs with little downside. We will be closely monitoring the Weapon’s performance and make further adjustments if necessary.
» Light Machine Guns «
- Light Machine Gun Charlie (VG)
- Max Damage decreased to 32, down from 34
- Min Damage decreased to 28, down from 30

- Queen’s 705mm Royal
- Horizontal Recoil Control decreased to 31%, down from 38%
- Tight Grip
- Recoil Control greatly decreased
Light Machine Gun Charlie (VG) has overstayed its welcome as the go-to long range choice. Its high damage profile paired with the ability to load it out to remove most recoil made for a nasty combination. By addressing some of the major outliers of the weapon, we’re left with a strong choice for those that can control it effectively.
- Whitley (VG)
- Min Damage increased to 31, up from 30
- ADS Speed decreased to 0.460, down from 0.475
- .303 British 45 Round Mags

- 28″ Gracy MK. 9 Barrel
- ADS Speed penalty decreased to -11%, down from -18%
» Sniper Rifles «
The adoption of 150 health in Battle Royale resulted in a huge boon to the Sniper category – While all other weapons require an additional shot or two, Snipers remained as they did previously. The long-standing “one shot rule” unfortunately diluted the Sniper class into one important metric, speed to click heads.
As mentioned above Snipers may now use damage ranges as a defining characteristic of their one-shot potential. This not only brings more identity to each weapon but means Attachments that provide the lighter and quicker sniper rifles the Damage Range stat will increase their ability to one shot at increased distances.
Our ultimate goal is to enable a wider range of viable playstyles and really push the potential of each weapon. Keep an eye out as we expect further adjustments to Sniper Rifles as we hone in on the best all-round experience.
The following Weapons will one-shot to the head only while inside of their Max Damage Range:
- Marksman Rifle Charlie (MW)
- SP-R 208 (MW)
- Pelington 703 (BOCW)
- Swiss K31 (BOCW)
- Type 99 (VG)
- Kar98k (VG)
The following Weapons will one-shot to the head at any Range:
- HDR (MW)
- Sniper Rifle Charlie (MW)
- ZRG 20mm (BOCW)
- 3-Line Rifle (VG)
- Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle (VG)
The following Weapons do not have one-shot potential to the head:
- Rytec AMR (MW)
- Sniper Rifle Alpha (MW)
- Sniper Rifle Charlie (BOCW)
Please see below for the full list of changes to Snipers, and keep in mind that attachments that provide Range Bonuses can drastically change the Base Weapons Max Range:

» Submachine Guns «
- Armaguerra 43 (VG)
- 8mm Kurz 72 Round Mags
- Fire Rate decreased to 10%, down from 15%
- Now increases Damage by 5%
- The 8mm Kurz 72 Round Mags simply didn’t have a fair pro for con trade. We’ve slowed its rate of fire down some while providing a damage increase that results in targets being eliminated 1 bullet faster.
- Imerito 180mm Short Barrel
- Bullet Velocity penalty decreased to -10%, down from -12%
- Recoil Control penalty decreased to -10%, down from -15%
- Visual Recoil decreased.
- 8mm Kurz 72 Round Mags
- Type 100 (VG)
- Visual Recoil decreased
- 8mm Kurz 48 Round Drums
- Damage Multiplier decreased to 6.5%, down from 14%
- Movement Speed decreased to -4%, down from -3%
- The 8mm Kurz 48 Round Drums were holding too much of the Type 100’s overall damage potential. We’ll be monitoring the Type 100 this update and make adjustments to the base weapon if any are required. This Magazine is still very powerful with the increased rate of fire it provides and the damage bonus still results in one less bullet to kill.
- Owen Gun (VG)
- 7.62 Gorenko 33 Round Mags
- Neck Damage Multiplier decreased to 1.17, down from 1.3
- 7.62 Gorenko 72 Round Drums
- Head Damage Multiplier decreased to 1.47, down from 1.5
- Neck Damage Multiplier decreased to 1.17, down from 1.3
- Hockenson 142mm Rapid
- Fire Rate decreased to 16%, down from 19%
- 7.62 Gorenko 33 Round Mags
- Submachine Gun Charlie (VG)
- VDD 189mm Short Barrel
- Min Damage decreased to 23, down from 24
- Upper and Lower Torso Damage Multiplier decreased to 1.04, down from 1.1
- VDD 189mm Short Barrel
The VDD 189mm short barrel has been a huge boon for the Submachine Gun Charlie (VG) and would often shred the target’s Upper Body far outside of its maximum damage range. The VDD still provides a large bonus against extremities and still increases both the min damage and optimal damage range of the MP40. We expect continued use of this attachment, even with these adjustments.

- M1 Garand (VG)
- Lower Limb Damage Multipliers increased to .8, from .7
