Updates Coming This Week in Modern Warfare and Warzone

From a blog post that was posted by Stephanie Glover from Activision, there are many new updates coming to Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare. This is one of the big updates for this new season three of Call of Duty and their battle pass. This update brings a new game-changing contract that allows you to be targeted by multiple teams as a bounty and if you survive the bounty then you can get a redeployment of all of your teammates that died during the game. Another big update being added is the gunsmith customs which lets you use your creativity to build weapons from the blueprints in your armory. Lastly, there will be new stuff coming to the store as well. Call of Duty: Mobile also has released updates to their game which you can see here. Check out Infinity Ward’s latest community update.

All details regarding this week’s update by Activision:

The Lead: Modern Warfare

Last week Modern Warfare brought a new Operator to the field, Ronin, and a free access weekend to Multiplayer for free-to-play Warzone players. This week add a new weapon to your arsenal – the MK9 Bruen LMG, create insane new hybrid blueprint weapons with the update to Gunsmith, get on the path to earn a Mastery camo, experience close quarters action in the return of the ‘Shoot the Ship’ playlist, level up with a Double XP, Double Weapon XP, and Double Tier Progression earn rate,  and more!

Download Instructions

For this week’s update, owners of the full version of Modern Warfare will have two separate downloads in order to complete the update. Once the update is live, players will download the patch as normal. Once that is completed, when an owner of the full version of Modern Warfare tries to access Multiplayer, Special Ops, or Campaign they will be prompted to download the Data Pack DLC. During the Data Pack DLC download, you’ll have access to Warzone so, jump into a match of Battle Royale or Plunder. When the download is complete, players must restart the game to access all modes of Modern Warfare. Free-to-play Warzone users will not have a secondary download to download the Data Pack DLC with this update. 

Gunsmith Customs

This is not an in-game screenshot, it simply demonstrates how you can build a custom hybrid weapon from your available blueprints.

Expand your creativity to build lethal weapons from blueprints in your Armory with Gunsmith Customs. This update allows you to mix and match attachments from blueprints of the same weapon to create epic hybrid blueprints that have unique looks, styles, and capabilities. Get more details on Gunsmith Customs and suggestions on building your ultimate hybrid blueprint this week on the Games Blog. 

MK9 Bruen LMG and Store Bundles

Add some more firepower to your arsenal with the MK9 Bruen LMG. This high accuracy and reliable damage weapon can be acquired via the ‘Encryption’ bundle or by completing a challenge found in the Weapons menu. Head to the LMG tab to find LMG Foxtrot and complete the associated challenge to earn the weapon or get the Legendary ‘The Glitch’ blueprint in the ‘Encryption’ bundle in the Store. 

Get some goods that you can claim as “fire” in the Pyromaniac bundle. This bundle includes a Legendary ‘Firestarter’ skin for Krueger, the fiery Caldera Legendary blueprint, a new Finishing Move, flaming Throwing Knives to swap out your standard lethal equipment, and more. Get the bundle for Modern Warfare including Warzone in the Store, then flame out your enemies. 

Find the ‘Fire Claw III’ bundle in Store this week. The Legendary SMG ‘By the Toe’ is a striped masterpiece that’s highly capable in taking out your enemies. The bundle is complete with a crown themed spray and tiger themed charm, so you’ll have the look to claw your way through the competition. Look for the ‘Fire Claw III’ bundle later this week.
