The following patch notes pertain primarily to Global changes made to all Call of Duty Modern Warfare III titles and those made exclusively to Warzone.

GLOBAL

CUSTOMIZATION

• Resolved an issue preventing the Wheelson-HS Killstreak from running over enemies while the Fire Breather Skin is equipped.
• Slash Damage Tracers on the Dino Might Blueprint will now consistently play.
• Improved visual effects when removing the Barrel from the Viral Ignition Blueprint.

PROGRESSION

» WEAPON PRESTIGE CAMOS «

In Season 3 Reloaded, we’re introducing Weapon Prestige Camos, a new progression system for players to flex mastery of their favorite weapons in Modern Warfare III.

To unlock a Weapon Prestige Camo, players must earn a set amount of Weapon XP for any weapon of choice, including those carried forward from MWII. Weapon Prestige Camos are earned on a per-weapon basis, rewarding commitment and giving those of you completionists a grind to keep you busy for Seasons to come.

Our debut Weapon Prestige Camo is One Trick. Unlocked upon earning 150,000 Weapon XP, this camo coats the entire surface of your weapon in molten gold – and yes, it’s animated.

You can expect to see a new Weapon Prestige Camo in each of the remaining Seasons ahead. We look forward to seeing which weapons you choose first for your journey to prestige!
