Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 Patch Notes, Digi Mart USA News: Activision has published patch notes for Season 1 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, with fixes and improvements rolling out across Multiplayer and DMZ. The updates are being released in several rounds, with additional notes added as the season launched.
Season 1 brings new content, gameplay updates, and quality-of-life and balance changes to both Multiplayer and DMZ. In Multiplayer, four maps join the rotation, including the return of Shoot House, along with new modes, weapons, and attachments.
The four new maps include Backstab, set in a snow-covered town, and Canyon, which mixes open spaces with natural terrain and elevation. Shoot House returns with its familiar three-lane layout in a new setting, and Kill Block: Crash introduces a new featured combo for 6v6 gameplay.
Additional maps are expected later in the season.
Season 1 also brings back the Grind mode, where players collect and bank Dog Tags to score, alongside Drop Zone, which puts teams in control of a rotating objective to earn Killstreak drops. Two additional weapons and several new attachments will also be added over the course of the season, and fresh weapon tuning has been introduced.
The season introduces a streamlined, linear 100-tier Battle Pass. The new system automatically catches players up to the reward corresponding with the current day of the season, up to Day 50.
Battle Pass owners who complete all 100 tiers will have an opportunity to earn additional bonus rewards later in the season.
DMZ expands with X01, a newly discovered GRANIT Arms black site accessible through Hajin. Players can explore a new environment, take on additional Orders, and encounter new threats and equipment, along with FOB updates and events throughout the season.
Activision also said additional events, including camo events and DMZ events, will arrive throughout Season 1 and Season 1 Reloaded. The publisher separately warned that Warzone Agent, an unauthorized paid third-party application that enables “lobby shopping” by letting players assess lobby skill levels during pre-match warm-ups, violates its Terms of Use and undermines competitive integrity, even though it does not provide traditional cheating functions such as aimbots or wallhacks.
Players can track known issues on the official Trello board and follow CODUpdates for the latest news. The publisher said it plans to continue updating the game with fixes and quality-of-life improvements as often as possible.
