Season 2 Reloaded File Size

Along with the rest of the massive reveals in the patch notes, we've also gotten the Call of Duty Season 2 Reloaded file sizes for each platform.

This breaks down as the following:

PS5: 52 GB

PS4: 52 GB

Xbox Series X|S: 57.8 GB

Xbox One: 57.8 GB

PC: 52.4 GB (Warzone) / 133.6 GB (Warzone + Modern Warfare)

New Weapons

The R1 Shadowhunter Crossbow has already been released, arriving in Warzone via store bundle on March 25, but more will come as part of the full Season 2 Reloaded.

The ZRG 20MM Sniper Rifle will also release as part of the patch. We don't know its stats quite yet, but we know for sure that it's coming.

New Operators

Two new Operators are also arriving as part of Season 2 Reloaded. Naga and Samantha Maxis were both added in the first couple of weeks of the season.

That means the two new Operators that should be dropping during the Season 2 Reloaded update are Wolf and Rivas.

We'll probably get one on the release date of Warzone Season 2 Reloaded, and the other a week or two later.

Which way round that'll be, though, we don't know quite yet.

They should also be made available for free, with you being able to equip them from the Operators tab in the main menu. There will also likely be some skin variants for them available in the Store.

Nuke Event Countdown

One thing that the start of Warzone Season 2 Reloaded does is bring us one step closer to the Nuke Event that we're all expecting very soon.

Leaks and rumours have pointed toward the Verdansk map being nuked at some point to get rid of the zombie horde that's been taking over since the start of season 2.

Maybe the start of the mid-season update will see the first tease of what's to come as we get closer to Season 3.

Double XP Event

Finally, a Double XP event will run in Warzone from 14:00 ET / 18:00 GMT on March 25 until the same time on March 29.

If Season 2 Reloaded starts before the end of the double XP event, be sure to make the most of it.
