These updates revolutionize the gameplay and bring remarkable changes in weapons, modes, and weapons. Players worldwide are excited and on their feet to get hold of these updates and enjoy the gameplay they have never experienced before. Tremendous changes in modes are offered through this update.
The fans’ favorite mode, Iron Trials, is also back. Multiple adjustments are made to the old weapons, giving users a better combat experience. Apart from that, many new weapons were introduced, which were not available in the previous seasons of Call Of Duty. New and enigmatic maps are also launched in COD Warzone Season 3 Update. Moreover, in the earlier seasons, multiple bugs were present. However, they are now fixed, another merit offered in season 3.
Warzone Season 3 Operation Monarch
Operation Monarch is another center of attention and excitement for Call of Duty lovers. Godzilla and King Kong give an adrenaline rush and take the excitement and amusement to another level. But this update will be available in the midseason on 11th May.
COD Warzone Season 3 Patch Size
The approximate size of the COD Warzone Season 3 Patch Notes update is 40 GB. However, it varies depending on the device you are using. For PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, the update size is 43.2 GB. But the Xbox requires 40.9 GB. For the PC users, the warzone only update occupies 38.9 Gb. However, 13GB of extra space is needed for the patch copying process.
Gameplay Changes in Warzone Season 3 Patch
Call of duty puts science behind its gameplay, and it triggers a psychological response that makes the game more pleasurable. The dopamine, a pleasure chemical, rush in your brain is accelerated by these advanced and rousing gameplay features offered by COD Warzone Season 3 Update. Updated features include:
Sabotage Contract
Players will be provided with a target vehicle. It will be visible on the map, and by using the map, you can reach this target vehicle. If you successfully destroy the target, you will be rewarded with the armored truck. But you need to be aware that it can be taken by someone else if you don’t get your hands on it first. Health and resistance are slightly decreased, but it’s still more significant than the cargo truck. It’s a great asset for any team that acquires it. Other vehicles might be in line, but it still retains the role of the powerhouse.
High-Value Loot Zones
COD Warzone Season 3 Patch Notes update brings you some high-value loot zones. These zones are represented by a $ sign on the Tac maps. The rebirth supply boxes in these zones will provide recurring loot opportunities. Your primary focus is to get the high-value loot and items and weapons, but the game constantly changes the items of the loot.
Perhaps you get the high-value loot from a certain location. The next time when you visit that location, you can’t find anything useful. This change is random, making the looting process more surprising and challenging. The loot items include:
- Perks
- Dead Silence
- Legendary Weapons
- Durable Gas Mask
- Killstreaks
- Armor Satchel
Gas Mask
It is another feature of the gameplay that enhances the player’s interaction. Previously when players jumped from the height game gave priority to the gas mask animation instead of the parachute, and this concern was raised by most of the players.
Due to the adjustment in the COD Warzone Season 3 Update update, the gas mask animation doesn’t interrupt the player from opening the parachute when falling to preserve the life. Animation is also not played when the player is ADS and affected by Nebula V rounds.
Most Wanted contract
Another vital feature is the reduction in the timer. If you eliminate the opponents, the timer is reduced by 20 seconds. Another way to reduce the timer is by opening the supply box. Every time there is a reduction of 5 seconds when the supply box is opened. This contract rewards and promotes the aggressive playstyle according to players’ demands.
Previously the players used the tac map to ping the target. However, this feature is removed in COD Warzone Season 3 Patch Notes because it was unfair and couldn’t be countered. Players couldn’t defend against this attack, and they were often found helpless. The refresh rate of the highly wanted target on the Tac map is also increased to maintain the balance and track the target’s location.
Bounty Contract
The speed of the Tac map refresh rate is increased significantly. The increased refresh rate makes investigation of every location much more efficient, and it’s most beneficial when the target uses a vehicle and chase is required.
Deployable Buy Stations
Another feature added in the Season 3 Update of Warzone is dedicated audio narration. Pinging the deployable buy station will now initiate a dedicated Warzone audio settings narration which will inform the squadmates about the player’s intentions.
Redeploy Positioning Improvements
Redeployments still depend on the rules which are set. But if your operator allows redeployment, you will be redeployed in the proximity to your squad or loadout.
Caldera Adjustments in Season 3 Warzone Update
New perks are added to improve the gameplay:
- Battle Hardened
- Engineer
- High Alert
- Restock
- Tempered
- Quick Fix
- Scavenger
- Pointman (Plunder Exclusive)
Rebirth Adjustments
Needed Spawn protection improvements are made in season 3. You will only receive 25% of the damage if you have the shield icon. Apart from that, gas circle damage is no more reduced by Spawn protection. Previously players would land on you and cause damage by landing and shooting simultaneously. This spawn protection gives you a better counter ability.
Season 3 COD Warzone Update update brings weapon trade station adjustments. Specialist token rewards and their drop rate were relatively high. The rate is reduced to make the gameplay more challenging. But the dropping system is improved, and now it will look for empty spaces to drop your rewards.
To enhance the player’s interaction in Warzone PS4, the footsteps audio improvements are made. Moreover, there were some concerns regarding the camera lock taken care of. The camera was locked during the sliding descend. It was frustrating to have a locked camera in the middle of a hostile interaction with the enemy. This issue is also addressed in Rebirth Island adjustments. Also, consider reading our Rebirth Island Bunker Code guide.
