Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone Reloaded Update Adds New Gun, Patch Notes Revealed

A new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone Reloaded update is live on PS4, Xbox One, and PC alongside official patch notes. Ahead of the proper reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War this week, Infinity Ward and Activision have released an appreciable mid-season update, but it’s far from the biggest update either has seen. And this is represented by the patch notes, which aren’t short, but they aren’t terribly long either.

The most notable part of the update is the addition of a brand new LMG, which could very well disrupt the meta. Many Modern Warfare and Warzone guns have been nerfed lately, so the meta is ripe for a new powerhouse gun.

As for the update sizes, it’s going to be 10.6 GB on PS4, 14.09 GB on Xbox One, and range from 11.3 to 17.6 GB on PC.
