New Warzone Patch Notes highlight key Season 3 Reloaded changes

There's quite a lot going on in Warzone and we have the latest information on what's in the new Warzone Patch Notes, for the Season 3 Reloaded update, right here.

John Rambo and John McClane are both dropping into Verdansk as two new Operators and things are getting seriously epic.

New LTM & Playlist Changes

Power Grab, the newest Limited-Time Mode, is coming to Warzone. This combines Plunder with Kill Confirmed and it promises to foster a whole lot of action-packed intensity. Here's the latest from the new batch of Warzone Patch Notes...

" What if we dialled up the intensity of Warzone to true Hollywood extremes?

" In Power Grab, you must eliminate other Operators, complete Contracts, and loot Supply Boxes around Verdansk to find Dog Tags. By collecting Dog Tags, you will work your way up a reward ladder that will give you the edge you need to win, including the personal Respawn Token.

" You’ll have to use everything you’ve got to control the flag that spawns during the final circle – calling in an Exfil Helicopter. True to the BR experience, you can also choose to hunt every single other Operator until you‘re the last one standing.

" There are fewer and smaller circles. There are no loadouts. There is no Gulag. But there will be action... and plenty of it!"

In addition to this, we have all the Warzone Playlist Changes below:

• Adding:
  • Verdansk – Power Grab
  • Plunder – Quads
  • Rebirth Island - Resurgence Trios
    
• Removing:
  • Verdansk - Mini Royale
  • Plunder - Blood Money Duos
