Call of Duty Warzone’s mid-season update is out now on PlayStation, Xbox and PC. This means you can enjoy new content once you download and install the update.
The Season 5 Reloaded update introduces the Deadline game mode, which sees squads gain unlimited respawns as they attempt to survive each elimination by scoring enough points. Lowest scoring squads will be eliminated after each Circle Collapse, at which point the score will reset and we all go again. In final twist, hostile squads will join the game to spice things up after each elimination.
As you can see from the patch notes below, the new Warzone update also tweaks the way Contracts work. Most Wanted Contract returns to Resurgence and Battle Royale. Completing the Contract will award an instant UAV, as well as a full team revive.
Furthermore, the update adds the Gravemark .357 Revolver Pistol, as well as the PPSh-41 Helical Magazine Event Reward.
You can check out the remaining patch notes below.

New Attachment

– Say goodbye to reloads with the PPSh-41 Helical Magazine providing the PPSh-41 with a massive amount of ammo. Sustained fire fills an overheat meter, so take intermittent breaks from the onslaught of lead to keep your weapon at the ready.
