Season 5 Reloaded Roadmap
The Games of Summer Event (Available August 28 – September 7)

For the first time in Call of Duty franchise history, community members from around the world – both those who own Modern Warfare and free-to-play Warzone – will be able to represent their country in easy-to-play, hard-to-master, single-player Trials of skill. By earning medals in each Trial, competitors will prove which country’s Tier One Operators are truly the best in the world.

Trials will be available for Modern Warfare and free-to-play Warzone players, starting on August 28 at 10 a.m. PT. Players will have unlimited entries, meaning you can keep playing them to set your best time or score and go for Gold.

To the Victor Goes the Spoils for Self and Country
For participating in Games of Summer, players will receive rewards based on performance within each Trial. These rewards are stackable – if a competitor achieves gold on the first try, they will receive all three rewards for their epic (or in some cases, legendary) achievement.
Each Trial medal comes alongside rewards (rewards can only be received once) and all players who participate earn the ‘Games of Summer Cup’ weapon charm. Trials rewards include but are not limited to vehicle skins, XP tokens, vehicle horns, calling cards, and Legendary weapon blueprints.
Earn gold in each Trial and receive the Legendary Assault Rifle Juliet Blueprint, a weapon truly built for chasing first place on any leaderboard. Built for pure precision with a clear, non-magnified sight picture, consider this a “gold standard” among a competitive pool of this weapon platform’s existing blueprints.
On top of these rewards, individual medals will give points to a player’s respective country, determined by their account’s origin. Each country’s points will be updated daily, and the top 15 countries will be visible on in-game leaderboards. Total scoring is weighted by country participants, so any nation can rise to the top.
Earn medals and rack up your points for your country, then at the culmination of Games of Summer, a country will be crowned champion. Will there be an underdog that claims glory for a well-contested Trial at the 11th hour? Or will one country hold a commanding lead throughout the Games?
New Functional Weapon
The FiNN LMG – (Available at Season Five Reloaded Launch)
The heaviest primary weapon class in the game has a new challenger, the FiNN LMG and it will punch well above its weight against many of the existing LMGs.
This new LMG can be earned by completing an in-game challenge or a blueprint variant can be acquired by purchasing the “Mainframe” bundle.
An agile, mobile, and hostile tank of an LMG, the FiNN’s ultra-light and open-bolt design is uniquely paired with advanced recoil controls. This all adds up to a weapon with exceptional full-auto accuracy while still being lightweight, allowing for a unique playstyle that further blurs the line between assault rifle and LMG.
Warzone Content
New Game Mode: King Slayer (Available During Season Five Reloaded)
King Slayer is large-scale Team Deathmatch on Battle Royale where teams fight to earn points by defeating hostile players. However, the circle doesn’t collapse, rather it moves around the map for an agile battle on the go. The top five team’s top scoring player will be marked as a ‘king’ on the Tac-Map. Eliminate kings to get additional points and be awarded a free Killstreak.
Gunfight – Tournament, New Map Stadium (Available with Games of Summer)
What’s Games of Summer without a tournament? Gunfight Tournament returns as a head-to-head test of gunskill, map knowledge, and coordination, and a proper tournament deserves a Stadium.
The pitch level of the larger Stadium has become available for Gunfight. It’s a much smaller play space in the Gunfight mode, so remember to use those tents, crates, and other obstacles for cover, especially if an Overtime flag is on the line.
Gunfight tournament winners will be rewarded with XP, high tier cosmetic rewards, and bragging rights as victors of the summer tournament.
Free Access Gunfight Tournament
All players can join in the tournament during the Free Access Weekend from August 28 to September 2 featuring the Gunfight Tournament playlist.
If you have a friend that hasn’t tried the full version of Modern Warfare or are a Warzone player looking to hone your skills and unlock prestigious Gunfight Tournament rewards, then enter the tournament and go for gold.
Modern Warfare Content: Ground War Gets Reinforced (Available During Season Five Reloaded)
Owners of the full version of Modern Warfare, can experience a new way to play Ground War.
Reinforcements Inbound – Ground War Reinforce Arrives
In this Ground War mode variant, three flags are positioned towards the center of the map, in a similar manner to Domination mode.
If you or a teammate are downed, you enter Spectator mode instead of respawning, rejoining the battle only after a new flag is secured by your teammates. Claim all three flags and you automatically win the round. Win enough rounds, and your massive platoon will all earn the victory.

Infinity Ward has released an in-game patch update for Modern Warfare & Warzone with weapon tuning updates on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on August 11.
This in-game patch brings weapon tuning updates, including changes to the Bruen and FAL weapons. These two weapons have been overpowered and overused in game since the last few patch updates.
Here’s the full changes as part of the update:
GENERAL FIXES:
Fix for an issue where explosive rounds on the Rytec AMR could still be equipped in CDL modes
Fix for an error players could receive when opening the weapon armory
Fix for an exploit in the Shooting Range trial
WEAPONS:

Infinity Ward’s Senior Comms Manager Ashton Williams has posted a few tweets overnight confirming two new patch updates are in the works at the studio for Modern Warfare and Warzone.
In a series of tweets, she has revealed that the first patch update is set to bring weapon tuning updates, fix for armory issues, and other bug fixes.
We’ve got two patches in the works that’ll fix a few bugs: One has weapon tuning, a fix for an exploit, a fix for an error that occurs when opening the armory, and a few other issues.
The second patch update coming up after that will include a fix for the weird weapon polygon glitch that is occurring for users which shows a weapon blown out of proportion on screen. The update will also fix the Play Again button.
The second one fixes the graphical corruption issue with weapons, the ‘Play Again’ option not working, and more. I don’t have an ETA just yet, but we’ll share more details when we’re all set.
