A Day Early, a World of Possibilities
The biggest news is that Call of Duty Season 3 will arrive a day early, with multiplayer and Zombies getting the update on April 2, and Warzone’s update remaining on April 3. This means players will have more time to explore the new content and features before the season officially kicks off.
New Battle Pass and Maps
The Season 3 roadmap reveals a new battle pass, the Shattered Veil Zombies map, and more multiplayer maps, including the return of the fan-favorite Firing Range map. The battle pass includes the CR-56 AMAX assault rifle and the HDR sniper rifle as free tiers, as well as skins for characters from previous Call of Duty games.
Jay and Silent Bob Join the Fray
In a surprise move, Jay and Silent Bob, the iconic duo from Kevin Smith’s View Askewniverse, are joining Call of Duty as operator shop bundles. This includes their characters’ iconic looks as well as an additional bundle variant for their comic book alter egos, Bluntman and Chronic.
Zombies and Multiplayer Modes
The Shattered Veil map introduces two new enemy types, including the Elder Disciple and a toxic zombie variant that can explode and release acid. The map also features two iconic Wonder Weapons, the Wunderwaffe DG-2 and the Ray Gun Mark II, which can be upgraded to one of three different variants.
In addition, Treyarch is bringing back two classic multiplayer modes, Sharpshooter party mode and Demolition game mode, as well as a brand-new limited-time mode called Joint Operations, which is likely to be a stoner-themed mode for 4/20.
Perks and Scorestreaks
The Season 3 update also includes new perks and scorestreaks. Close Shave is added to slot 1 as an Enforcer category perk, allowing players to automatically use their dedicated melee attack when they perform a weapon butt attack. Vendetta is added to slot 2 as a Reconn category perk, allowing players to mark their killer’s last known position for a short duration.
The iconic Death Machine returns as a scorestreak, requiring a score of 825 to achieve in-game.
