Adrenaline in my soul, oh my god, it’s Cody Rhodes! Season five of Modern Warfare 3 is adding the American Nightmare as an operator, but that’s just the beginning.
New weapons, maps, modes, Prestige levels, and more will try to bring gamers back for one of MW3’s final seasons before the calendar flips to fall and the focus turns to Black Ops 6 for the foreseeable future.
Here’s everything coming in season five of MW3, launching at 11am CT on July 24.
MW3 season 5 patch notes
The penultimate season of MW3 has a good amount of stuff for players to look forward to. Here’s everything that’s new and changing in season five’s patch notes.
Weapon balancing
Season five will bring a balancing pass for both problematic and weak weapons in an effort to keep things fresh in the game’s final months. Changes have been made to the BAL-27, Superi 46, FJX Horus, Reclaimer 18, Pulemyot 762, MTZ Interceptor, XRK Stalker, COR-45, TYR, and a handful of MW2 weapons. Several perks were also adjusted in the July 24 update.
