WithMW3 Season 4triggering big changes to themultiplayer meta, there are expectations for Season 4 Reloaded to do the same. Thankfully, fans won’t be disappointed, with both top-tier and overlooked weapons alike receiving numerous balance tweaks.
Additionally, Season 4 Reloaded brings back a fan-favorite shotgun, much like how Season 4 reintroduced theKar98k. That’s in addition to the new game modes, weapon camos, playlist modifiers, and much more that the update also brings with it.
Here are the patch notes for Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 Reloaded, plus a breakdown of everything that’s been added in the mid-season update.
Call of Duty’s most iconic shotgun returns
First appearing way back in the original Modern Warfare 2, the SPAS-12 is the most iconic shotgun in Call of Duty history. 15 years later, it makes yet another appearance, this time as the Reclaimer 18 in Modern Warfare 3.
The classic shotgun is described as “supporting two firing modes,” with players able to “use pump-action to eliminate enemies from further out,” or switch to semi-auto to “let loose in close quarters,” replicating the real-world gun’s versatility.
New multiplayer map reimagines Summit
Though not a direct remake, Incline is the new multiplayer added in Season 4 Reloaded that appears to take inspiration from Summit. It has a similar layout and the same snowy exterior, comparable to how6 Star drew comparisons to Raid.
However, Incline is its own map that challenges players to, “Head into the mountains of Urzikstan on this mid-sized snow map based around a research outpost and transit facility,” and places focus on taking high ground using climbing spots that “offer other ways to get above the enemy.”

Given these changes, the time between target acquisition and first mortar impact is halved from 6s to 3s. Although the overall duration of a wave has not changed due to the increase in mortars and decrease in delay, it is now more difficult to outrun a Mortar Strike.
RANKED PLAY
Thanks to all who participated in the Ranked Play Weapon Evaluation in recent months. Based on thedata we previously shared, we’ve made the decision to unrestrict an additional two Assault Rifles for use in Multiplayer Ranked Play. We’ll continue to monitor feedback for further opportunities to increase the variety of Weapon usage in the competitive experience.
