Prior to the launch of Season 01 Reloaded, expect patch notes with details on all technical changes, including major fixes and balance tuning. Raven Software will handle Warzone 2.0 Battle Royale updates, and Infinity Ward will detail changes to Modern Warfare® II and the Warzone 2.0 DMZ Beta. Major Patch Notes updates can be found here.
As for the highlights, Season 01 Reloaded brings action on all fronts. In Warzone 2.0, expect a brand-new tactical experience for DMZ and a limited-time mode built for Modern Warfare® FC fans. Modern Warfare II will challenge trios with the first-ever Raid and will bring chaos with the debut of a reimagined Shipment. And across both games, there will be two new Operators, a new Primary Weapon to unlock, and more.
This is Atomgrad, the first Special Ops Raid. Grab two of your best squadmates and help Price, Farah, and Gaz uncover the secrets held within a highly fortified enemy facility.
· Shipment incoming! Now on the high seas, get ready to complete the rest of those Camo challenges or cause general chaos in this frenetic favorite for core Multiplayer modes.
Urzikstan: On the trail of their missing team, Price, Farah and Gaz make a grim discovery in an underground bunker.
Continuing from the events of the Modern Warfare II Campaign, the first Special Ops Raid is something that will take, in the words of the captain himself, “violence and timing.”
Those who successfully complete this Raid will unlock a familiar face as a brand-new Operator to use in Multiplayer and Special Ops, as well as in Warzone 2.0. It will also unlock a harder difficulty Playlist that will test even veteran Operators. You can expect to find plenty of Intel that awards additional cosmetic items, in addition to some intriguing data it provides about the Modern Warfare II universe.
Accessing a Raid requires a Raid Assignment, which can be earned through the following method(s):
- Complete a specific Daily Challenge either in Multiplayer or Special Ops.
- Place within the top 20 in any Warzone 2.0 Battle Royale Playlist.
- In DMZ, use the final extract helicopter with at least $30,000 in Cash.
Once a Raid Assignment is earned, that player — and whatever squadmates they choose to bring in — can access the Raid for a full week.
Although there is only one mandatory requirement for Raid access — the Raid Assignment — we have a couple of additional tips prior to infiltration:
1. Warm up with Special Ops missions. Get familiar with how agents fight against you, how Special Ops Kits work, and the general strategies for completing a Special Ops run through its shorter missions. Completing them and earning Stars give you some permanent rewards as well, making this practice worth your time.
2. Tier up those Kits. Because Raids are part of Special Ops, it uses the Kit system. Having a high-Tier Kit means accessing those additional passive and active benefits during a Raid, increasing your options for survival and progression through it.
One of the most iconic maps in Call of Duty history is reimagined for Modern Warfare II Multiplayer.
Set on a cargo ship taking on water in a storm-ridden part of the Atlantic Ocean, a new Shipment is ready to bring back the chaos that only an ultracompact map can provide. If you’re thinking about working around and off the map’s boundaries, which was possible in previous versions, then you might find yourself at sea…
