Season 4 Reloaded is the next major update coming to Warzone, bringing new weapons, modes, and the return of Resurgence Ranked Play.
The Warzone Season 4 update was yet another huge content drop for CoD’s popular battle royale, introducing new guns like the FFAR 1 and a new hot spot to land at. It also shook up the meta with plenty of weapon buffs and nerfs.
But that’s only the beginning, as the mid-season patch has even more in store. So, here’s everything we know about the Season 4 Reloaded update, including when it’s due to arrive.
When does Warzone Season 4 Reloaded start?
Warzone Season 4 Reloaded should arrive on Thursday, June 26, 2025. This hasn’t been officially confirmed by the devs, but all signs point towards this date based on how updates are usually structured in Call of Duty.
Each season tends to last for eight weeks, so the mid-season update drops exactly halfway through. So, since Season 4 began on May 29, June 26 would be four weeks later.
New weapons
Two new weapons are set to be released as part of the Reloaded update. The first is the Olympia, a double-barrel Shotgun last seen in Black Ops 3, where it was known for dealing huge damage over short distances.
The other is the Pickaxe, a new melee weapon that can kill enemies in a single hit. However, it has considerably less range than some of the other options in its category.
Both will be available through in-game events or from the Armory if you don’t unlock them right away.
Ranked Play Resurgence returns
After being removed when Black Ops 6 integrated, Ranked Play Resurgence on Rebirth Island is finally returning with Season 4 Reloaded. It will feature the exact same ruleset as it did during the MW3 era, only you’ll have to start again from scratch.
The mode will run alongside Verdansk Ranked and feature a separate ranking system, so you can progress them both individually. However, the only drawback is that only Trios will be available, at least to begin with.
Resurgence Casual
Following its success on Verdansk, the devs are doubling down with Resurgence Casual. This more laid-back experience follows the same format as regular Resurgence, only the lobby is made up of 44 players, some of whom are bots.
This is ideal if you’re “warming up, teaching a new player about the game, or you’re wanting a Resurgence match that isn’t quite as extreme as normal.”
New Field Upgrade, Killstreaks, Perk & more
After first being released in Clash mode, a number of features are also making their way over to BR and Casual. One of the most divisive is the Door Barricade, which can be used on entrances to buildings to prevent enemy teams from entering them right away.
Joining it is the Hand Cannon, a powerful Killstreak taken from multiplayer that can absolutely melt through armor and health with just a few shots. Both of these can be earned from the Care Package, another new Killstreak that drops a host of rare loot.
If you’re someone who likes to use Contracts to their advantage, Search and Destroy will be right up your alley. This mini challenge tasks teams with planting a bomb on a Buy Station and detonating it before it can be defused, earning free items from the station once it explodes.
There’s also the new Loot Master Perk coming exclusively to Plunder and Resurgence. It can only be found as ground loot and greatly increases the number of items found inside each chest, making the early game much easier.
We’ll likely get even more details about what’s included closer to the release date, so we’ll be sure to update this page as soon as we know more.
In the meantime, take a look at the best guns in Warzone and how to make footsteps easier to hear with the right audio settings.
