Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 Reloaded patch notes in full:
NEW MAPS
The Season 3 Reloaded update introduces two new 6v6 maps: Grime, set in the derelict streets of London, and Checkpoint, a modified version of Rebirth Island’s Stronghold area. These maps cater to diverse gameplay styles, offering various strategic opportunities for players. Grime provides a compelling setting for intense 6v6 encounters in its medium-sized layout. Checkpoint, in turn, offers familiarity to fans of the Stronghold area from Rebirth Island, now enhanced for 6v6 gameplay. The updated layout will no doubt reshape tactical strategies and gameplay patterns for players accustomed to this map variety.
NEW WEAPON
The BAL-27 Assault Rifle, a bullpup prototype weapon, is a significant addition. Designed to increase fire rate over time with sustained trigger pressure, the weapon prioritizes accuracy in its initial shots, gradually increasing the rate of fire.

Players can unlock this weapon via the classified sector in the Season 3 Battle Pass, providing a compelling reason for players to participate in Season 3’s activities.

Each aftermarket part comes with different advantages, altering the weapons’ performance to address various strategic needs. Players can unlock JAK Wardens by completing Season 3 Week 5 Challenges.
