At Summer Game Fest, Call of Duty’s GM, Johanna Faries said season 4 will go live across Warzone and Cold War, and will feature new weapons, maps, operators, a “hijacked gulag,” and more Zombies content.

Unfortunately, specific details on the maps, weapons, and other elements were not revealed, but considering that the update will go live next week, we’ll find out more soon enough. This is in line with Activision’s marketing for Warzone, as we typically don’t find out about the exact details of an update until a few days prior to its release. We should expect a road map to be shared with the community next week.

Ee do know Raven Software will be tweaking the game’s weapons further, to make for a more balanced experience. The season 3.5 update patch notes had info about weapon changes coming in Season 4.

“We have a great deal of enhancements coming to all BOCW optics and reticles in Season 4,” reads the post from Raven. “Coupled with some exciting attachment changes, we feel the landscape of long-range viable weapons will soon be as diverse as it has ever been.”

With the start of the Cold War integration in December 2020, Warzone’s weapon meta was in a bad place, but Raven has made significant improvements within the past few weeks toward the beginning of season 3. Hopefully, season 4 will continue that trend.

Even in Season 3, Warzone 2.0 still feels like it’s in beta
Two characters from Warzone 2.0 Season 3.

Activision hyped its Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Season 3 update considerably ,with numerous blog posts showcasing what to expect, along with a content creator call that detailed a slew of highly requested features. Now that the update is live, some members of the game's community are left feeling misled, as Season 3 isn't quite the radical change they were expecting.

While it does include new features and fix some of the sequel's long-standing issues, Warzone 2.0 is still packed with problems -- many of which make the game less approachable. Season 3 is a step in the right direction, but considering just how low the bar was before its release, it's not as impressive as it perhaps needs to be at this stage in the game's life, especially from a massive studio such as Activision.

One-shot snipers are coming back to Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 for Season 3
Characters shooting enemies in Warzone 2.0.

The highly anticipated Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Season 3 will include a long-requested feature that fans have been clamoring for. The update will feature the return of one-shot snipers, which have been absent from Warzone 2.0 since its launch (with a couple of temporary exceptions here and there). Activision shared the news via a blog post, which featured more details about what to expect from the upcoming season.

Previously, it would take at least two shots to down a fully-plated enemy in Warzone 2.0, which effectively rendered snipers useless. Since the game's launch in November 2022, a large portion of the community has requested that one-shot snipers be added back into the game. Activision's blog gives a bit of detail about what to expect from the chance.
