As a high level overview, here’s the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Season Four roadmap, highlighting current and upcoming changes to the game throughout the season (click to enlarge and see all the details).

As a reminder before jumping in, most all of the content is free for all players besides the paid Season Four battle pass track and the Operators that are being added to the store. Let’s cover the broad strokes of what’s headed to the game.

Warzone

Battle Royale In-Match Events- Three new in-match events can pop up between the time of the first loadout drop (about 10 seconds ahead of the first circle fully closing) and the Gulag closing (after the fourth circle fully closes). These mid-match events can drastically change the pacing of the game, either offering you a new path to victory, or upsetting your best laid plans. These aren’t guaranteed though! They’ll only shake up occasional matches, not every single one.

  • Fire Sale – This event discounts items at buy stations by up to 80%, sometimes even making some items free to grab! During this time, buying back fallen teammates is free as well, so it’s a chance to get your friends back in if you can’t seem to rustle up the cash. Loadout drops, however, are not discounted. This event lasts 60 seconds, so heading to the nearest buy station is a matter of risk/reward chaos.
  • Supply Chopper – This is a non-lethal chopper carrying some good supplies. It won’t shoot back at you, but attempting to take it down could give away your position, and there’s sure to be a fight at the location where the goodies drop when the chopper goes down.
  • Jailbreak – All eliminated players get released back into the game. Whether you are in the Gulag, or are just spectating, when a Jailbreak event happens, everyone who was eliminated but hasn’t yet left the match will be brought back again. Players on the field get a one-minute notice leading up to the Jailbreak to either run and hide or help gather some good gear for their friends.

Limited Time Modes – Some crazy experimental modes have made their way to Warzone in the past, and this season brings three new ones that offer completely new ways to play on the massive Verdansk map.

  • Juggernaut Royale – Three care packages dropped into Verdansk hold the Juggernaut killstreak. Players will get armored up, with more health, a minigun, and a “sweet music track” to help you on the path to victory. You can still do all the things normal players can do like ride in vehicles and climb ladders, as well as adding a ground pound splash damage to your zero fall damage if you take a tumble off a cliff or tall building. There are always three, so if a Juggernaut player is sent the the Gulag or eliminated, a new care package will drop in a shop time later, marked on the map.
  • Realism – Minimal HUD. Increased headshot damage. The ultimate battle royale experience that will test players fully.
  • Warzone Rumble – We’ve had Solos, Duos, Trios, and Quads. Well why not 50? This is a massive battleground of 50 versus 50 team deathmatch, with the weapon looting rules of battle royale. You know the load-in lobby battles? It’s like that, but for real.

New weapon blueprints will also be scattered around the map to change up play. Oh and speaking, Activision teased this event in the patch notes:

Contraband Contract System!

Contraband is a new, rare contract with a permanent Blueprint Reward. Contraband contracts have a chance to spawn after a previous contract is completed. If you see the Contraband briefcase, hurry up and collect it. Once you have it, take it to the designated Helicopter Extraction location to call in the helicopter. The player carrying the briefcase must deposit it into the helicopter drop-bag to complete the mission. If you kill a player carrying this briefcase you can steal it complete the contract for your team. Be on the lookout for them on your Tac Map!

Modern Warfare Multiplayer

Three New Maps

  • Zhokov Scrapyard – The Scrapyard map returns from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Warzone players might recognize some fragments of Boneyard here.
  • Barakett Promenade – This is a Ground War map, which brings the Promenade area of Warzone to MW multiplayer.
  • Trench – This is a small Gunfight map made of interconnected trenches. You can take the high ground and expose yourself or stay in the trenches and be at the mercy of those above you.

Three New Modes

  • Team Defender – A single player holds a flag. The team must defend that player.
  • One in the Chamber –  Three lives. One bullet. One-shot-kills. Free-for-all. You can earn additional bullets by getting kills, either with your one bullet or melees. Accuracy is key here.
  • All or Nothing – Free-for-all mode with only a handgun and a throwing knife.

Battle Pass

There are a ton of new rewards to earn in the Season Four Battle Pass, but here are the highlights:

  • Captain Price Operator
  • Fennec SMG (free)
  • CR-56 AMAX assault rifle (free)
  • Vehicle skins
  • Watches
  • ‘Sunset Hue’ LMG
  • Additional blueprints
  • XP tokens
  • Call of Duty Points
