Infinity Ward has released the patch notes for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 3, and there are changes that all players will need to be aware of. The patch is reportedly 13.6GB in size.

The game’s developer unveiled the Season 3 patch notes ahead of its official release on April 8. There is plenty to wrap your head around, including changes to Warzone, weapon fixes, audio bug solutions, and more.

A couple of the biggest tweaks relate to Warzone. Infinity Ward has fixed a bug where players were unable to self-revive in Solos mode. The Loadout Drop — obtainable from the Buy Station — has seen its price increased again to $10,000. That’s steep considering its initial price was $6,000, but it’s been put in place to help with imbalancing issues after complaints from the community.

Operation Headhunter, which is part of the Special Operations game mode, has had fixes implemented for the minimap and drone errors that players ran into. Audio reductions in the Gulag, and for the plane during infil, have also been lowered at players’ requests.

There are a slew of general, weapon, Plunder, and Battle Royale fixes too. You can find all of those detailed in the patch notes below, so have a read to see what’s been improved and resolved.
