Warzone Season 5 Reloaded update: Full patch notes, Iron Trials mode, Numbers event

Call of Duty: Warzone’s next installation is now upon us as the devs have revealed the full patch notes for Season 5 Reloaded. It turns out Verdansk is getting new modes, an event, Judge Dredd, and more.

The roadmap for Season 5 Reloaded in Warzone is full of content, specifically in ways to play. There’s the return of the Clash mode, as well as a new mode Iron Trials ‘84 and a new seasonal event.

Like many of the game’s past seasonal events, there are cosmetics and a new melee weapon to be earned from the new event, and there’s also a Calling Card to be earned from winning Iron Trials.

Oh and Judge Dredd is now here too. The Judge Dredd. Here are the full patch notes.

Warzone Season 5 Reloaded: Clash & Iron Trials ’84 modes

A teaser shot of the Iron Trials mode.

While a revamped version of Warzone Rumble’s 50v50 mode is returning with Clash, players might be more intrigued by the brand-new offering that arrived with Season 5 Reloaded: Iron Trials ’84.

The mode alters base health and regeneration, while removing free loadout drops and changing the Gulag to remove troll equipment, akimbo weapons, and semi- or full-auto shotguns. Overall, those adjustments are all part of a plan to alter the game fundamentally — which is reflected in vague “changes to environmental elements.”

Warzone Season 5 Reloaded: The Numbers Seasonal event

More information has also been revealed about The Numbers event, The seasonal event will begin on on September 21 at 10 AM PT and feature a variety of challenges, mostly surrounding the Mobile Broadcast Stations.

By completing in-game tasks, players will be able to earn quick in-game cash and a variety of new cosmetics. Additionally, those who complete the full series of challenges (in Warzone or Black Ops Cold War) will unlock the new Sai melee weapon.

Warzone Season 5 Reloaded: Judge Dredd & Hudson Operators

Hudson has finally made his Warzone debut with Season 5 Reloaded, but he’ll be joined by a previously teased, wholly surprising new addition: Judge Dredd.

While Hudson is a known member of NATO, with ties to Adler and Co., Dredd is a different sort of newcomer. Dubbed “judge, jury, and executioner,” the new Operator will come in a bundle with two skins — including a comic book-stylized, cel-shaded variant in black and white.

Warzone weapon changes

• Sai: Melee (BOCW)
  • During The Numbers Limited-Time Event starting Sept. 21, those who complete all nine challenges within Warzone or Black Ops Cold War will receive this new functional melee Weapon.

While assessing the power level of BOCW Weapons, we have observed some disparities between ease of use and efficacy. The Krig 6 (BOCW) has shown an impressive performance at just about every engagement range. While we believe it is important to have a wide array of Weapons which can be utilized by players of all skill levels — it is critical to the health of the game that their effectiveness scales appropriately with the skill required to wield them. If players can be as effective with a Weapon that is pinpoint accurate that has a marginally slower Time to Kill potential than the hardest to wield Weapons, why would they choose another? As we continue to address these Weapons, we will also be making adjustments to BOCW attachments that offer Recoil Control. We feel these changes will provide a fairer, more diverse long-range landscape.
