Huge Call of Duty update TODAY – new guns, map modes and Warzone changes revealed

PREPARE for battle – or at least new combat goodies being delivered to Call of Duty Modern Warfare today.

A brand new Call of Duty patch adds new weapons, map modes and camps.

Game maker Infinity Ward said that patch comes in at around 15GB, which shouldn’t take too long with a good internet connection.

Players on PS4, Xbox and PC will all be forced to update the game.

The patch is available to download from Tuesday, April 28 – and it’s chock full of goodies.

We’ve rounded up what’s new in the latest Call of Duty update.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare update – what’s new?

Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s new…

Gunsmith Customs: You can now mix and match attachments from blueprints of the same weapon.

MK9 Bruen LMG: This brand new weapon is described as having “high accuracy and reliable damage” – and can be acquired through the Encryption bundle or by completing an associated challenge.

Pyromaniac Bundle: There’s a new bundle that includes a Legendary “Firestarter” skin for Krueger, plus a new weapon blueprint, finishing move, and flaming Throwing Knives.

Fire Claw III Bundle: This new bundle includes the Legendary striped ‘By The Toe’ SMG, as well as a crown-themed spray and tiger-themed charm. Tiger King, anyone?

Obsidian Weapon Camo: There’s a new Obsidian camp that you can earn, described as a “true sign of mastery”.

New Warzone Contract: Warzone players can pick up a ‘Most Wanted’ contract, which lets you make yourself a Bounty Target for all teams – with the reward being a redeployment for all of your teammates.

Shoot The Ship: This small map playlist features Shoot House and Shipment – both small maps made for total chaos.

• Fix for a bug where completing the completionist challenges for the SKS are unlocking the associated camos for the Renetti
• Fix for a bug where unlocking camos for the SKS was inconsistent with other camo challenges for marksman rifles
