LATEST - Weapon Tuning Pass Details
As we head into Season 4, Treyarch has revealed that it's targetted Assault Rifle Suppressors with its' latest weapon tuning pass.

Every Confirmed New Weapon
There's going to be at least five new weapons coming to Black Ops Cold War in Season 4; Two are going to be free with the Battle Pass and the remainder will be available via in-game Challenge. Here's everything we know.
MG 82 - LMG
" Full-auto light machine gun. Highest fire rate in class with improved aiming speed. Moderate recoil and damage with increased ammo capacity."
This will be available for free at Tier 15 of the Season 4 Battle Pass.
C58 - AR
" Full-auto assault rifle. High damage at close range with a slower fire rate. Fast bullet velocity and reliable recoil control with less ammo capacity."
This weapon is going to be free at Tier 31 of the Season 4 Battle Pass.
Nail Gun - Special (BOCW) / SMG (WZ)
" This slow-firing, highly mobile power tool uses compressed air to launch fast-moving projectiles that deal high damage at close range."
This is going to be available at the start of Season 4 via in-game Challenge or Weapon Blueprint Bundle.
OTs 9 - SMG
" Boasting great stopping power and a phenomenal rate of fire, the OTs 9 is hindered only by its low magazine capacity of 20 rounds."
This is going to be available at some point during Season 4 via in-game Challenge or Weapon Blueprint Bundle.
Mace - Melee
" A weapon ill fit for the weak, Mace can inflict critical damage on command — no dice rolls needed on whether it can bludgeon your rivals in a single blow within Multiplayer."
This Melee Weapon is going to be available mid-Season 4 via in-game Challenge or Weapon Blueprint Bundle.

Gameplay Trailer Hints At New Weapons
The new Season 4 Gameplay Trailer might not be the clearest look at the new weapons we could have got, but it's a start, right? We're expecting the full content roadmap to drop on June 14th, so we should get a proper rundown of all the new weapons that are going to be added to Warzone and Black Ops Cold War then.
For now, though, you can check out the latest Gameplay Trailer and see what you can spot in and amongst the chaos.
All The Latest Weapon Leaks Left Unconfirmed
There are quite a few weapon leaks to look over, but it's hard to tell which of the following are going to be added in the remainder of Call of Duty Season 4 and which of the new weapons will be added in future seasons.
Firstly, we have melee weapons...
- Hammer;
- Kukuri (Long, Curved Knife from Indian Subcontinent);
Then, we have the firearms...
- Chicom CQB (First seen in Black Ops)
- Explosive Crossbow (Possibly an ammo variant, not a new weapon)
We don't know for sure whether these weapons will be released during Season 4, but at the moment it doesn't seem likely.
Call of Duty Season 4's Release Date
It has now been confirmed that Warzone's Season 4 is going to be available on June 17th.
Original Article
At the moment, we haven't had confirmation as to when Call of Duty Season 4 is due to start. That doesn't mean we can't make an educated guess, though. We know Call of Duty's third season is due to end on June 15th if we look at the current Battle Pass.
We're inclined to lean more towards June 17th as both Warzone and Black Ops Cold War usually receive their weekly updates on Thursdays. However, Treyarch and Activision aren't limited to these schedules and they have been known to push out updates on Tuesdays in the past.
