Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 Reloaded patch notes

Season 5 Reloaded in Call of Duty: Warzone is the final major update that will arrive for this version of the battle royale. Starting on Nov. 16, a majority of Raven Software’s attention will turn to Warzone 2. However, that doesn’t mean that the developers still didn’t make some changes to the content in this current version of Warzone for Season 5 Reloaded. Raven has released an entire list of patch notes that will go live in Warzone on Wednesday.

While there might not be as many changes as players are used to, the developers will likely release a couple more updates before Warzone 2 arrives. In the Season 5 Reloaded patch notes, players will find weapon balancing changes, gameplay updates, quality of life fixes, and more. You can look at our condensed patch notes below or read the full slate of them on Raven’s website.
