Warzone Season 5 Reloaded update patch notes

Although Black Ops 7 arrives on November 14, there’s still plenty to look forward to in Warzone, with the Season 5 Reloaded update up next.

Season 5 brought new weapons in its Battle Pass and opened up the Stadium with new Easter eggs to complete for free rewards. But there’s still one more update to come in the mid-season, bringing a new weapon, mode, and events.

Here’s are the full patch notes Warzone Season 5 Reloaded, including when it goes live. 

When does Warzone Season 5 Reloaded start?

The Warzone Season 5 Reloaded update arrives on Thursday, September 4. The update will be available to preload earlier in the day, before officially rolling out at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST.

Deadline LTM

Season 5 Reloaded brings the Deadline LTM. This mode’s all about racking up as many points as possible by killing other players, AI enemies, completing Contracts, looting, and spending cash at Buy Stations.

There are unlimited lives, but with each circle collapse, the team with the lowest amount of score is eliminated. Scores are reset with each new circle, so you can’t take your foot off the gas.

Activision

New event

A new event arrives in the mid-season update: Nuketown Block Party.

As the name suggests, it celebrates the classic Nuketown map with an event “full of rewards.” It’s also where you can earn the Helical Magazine for the PPSh-41, which essentially gives the SMG infinite ammo.
