Warzone is getting a new game mode in Season 4 Reloaded, and for the first time, it’s not entirely reliant on kills.

Payload is adding a more traditional FPS experience to Warzone (almost like Call of Duty interestingly…), dividing Verdansk into two teams of 20 who have to move their ‘payloads’ from Point A to B. Here’s exactly how it works.

New OTs 9 SMG ready to pack a punch

July 15, 4:10am GMT

If previous seasons are to go by, then the new weapon is set to be pretty busted on launch. The OTs 9 SMG looks to be no different, with an eyewatering fire rate that could disrupt the meta.

Before you can equip it in Warzone, you’ll have to unlock it though. Thankfully, Brad Norton has a guide outlining the challenges you need to complete.

Once you’ve completed the challenges, you’ll want to use this best OTs 9 loadout to gain a competitive edge!
