Season 3’s update hit Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone today and there\u2019s a lot of new content. There are new game modes, the return of Rebirth Island, new Perks, new weapons, and so much more! Here\u2019s everything you need to know that\u2019s new in Season 3.<\/p>\n

Multiplayer Updates<\/h1>\n
<\/section>\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

New Game Modes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Modern Warfare 3 dropped four new game modes in Multiplayer: Capture the Flag, One in the Chamber, Minefield, <\/strong>and Escort<\/strong>. CTF and One in the Chamber are available at launch with Minefield and Escort dropping mid-season. Minefield will be a variation available in Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In Minefield, dead players will drop a Proximity Mine that will be deadly only towards their own teammates. Escort is a pretty self-explanatory game mode where one team has to escort a MAW across a map while the other defends and tries to stop the attackers. The match will include a side swap after the first game and the team who delivers the payload the fastest, wins.<\/p>\n

New Maps<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/section>\n

There are six new Core 6v6 maps in Season 3 with four available immediately: 6 Star, Emergency, Growhouse, Tanked<\/strong>. The other two maps, Checkpoint <\/strong>and Grime<\/strong>, will be coming later in the mid-season update. These last two maps are adapted from Warzone POIs and have been adjusted for smaller 6v6 play. <\/p>\n

New Perks and Equipment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Season 3 brings in three new Perk Vests, a new pair of Boots, and new Gear. One of the new Gear items is a High-Gain Antenna <\/strong>which zooms out your minimap for you and nearby allies and enemies remain on the radar longer for you. It also allows you to see nearby ally radar pings from their equipment.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The other new Gear item is a new Tactical called the EMD Mine<\/strong> coming later in the midseason refresh. It\u2019s a proximity mine that shoots out trackers that stick to enemies and reveals them until the tracker is removed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Gunslinger Vest <\/strong>makes you a Secondary Weapon specialist with no Primary Weapon slot and only two Secondary Weapons for your loadout. This Perk Vest refreshes stamina on kill, improves reload speed, reload while sprinting, increases weapon swap speed, and lets you spawn with maximum Reserve Ammo. The only caveat is you have to be using your Secondary Weapons to get all these benefits.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Modular Assault Rig Vest<\/strong> allows you to resupply Lethals and Tacticals from dead players and you start with maximum Reserve Ammo. The Compression Carrier Vest<\/strong> is support focused with additional healing benefits. You can immediately regenerate health after a kill or objective capture and you experience less side effects from gas grenades.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The new boots, Reinforced Boots<\/strong>, grant you immunity to movement reducing effects (like stun grenade effects).<\/p>\n

Zombies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a new Dark Aether story update in the form of a rescue mission for Dr. Jansen. A new gate has opened and you\u2019ll have to venture into a new part of the Dark Aether to progress the story. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

You can enter a third Dark Aether Rift <\/strong>by finding and attuning different relics across the map. Once you enter the rift, you can loot some classified schematics and secrets.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The new Schematics include Dead Wire Detonators<\/strong> (a mod integrating electrical damage to explosive weaponry), Golden Mask Filter<\/strong> (a self-regenerating gas mask), and the Sergeant\u2019s Beret<\/strong> (a perk that disguises you as a Merc and gives you a Merc Bodyguard).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

On top of those new Schematics, there are new Prestige Calling Card Challenges, and new Camo Challenges.<\/p>\n

New Weapons<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are four new weapons in Season 3 available across Warzone and Multiplayer: FJX Horus, MORS, Gladiator, and the BAL-27<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
