Here’s everything we know about the the new Warzone Pacific Season 4 Reloaded update, including Terminator, new modes, and more.
Warzone Season 4 Reloaded is here, with Raven’s mid-season patch bringing the T-800 and T-1000 from Terminator and new mode Titanium Trials to the game.
Every season, Call of Duty introduces another major update halfway through the season called ‘Reloaded.’ This usually brings a new weapon, new game modes, and major quality of life updates. Season 4 is no different, with the devs dropping a brand-new crossover with the Terminator franchise, along with the new Titanium Trials mode.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Warzone Pacific Season 4 Reloaded update, including when we expect it to arrive.
If you’re looking to download Warzone Season 4 Reloaded, here are the update sizes when the patch drops at 9 AM PT on Wednesday, July 27.
The patch notes also states that PC players will need an additional 7.4GB of space on their hard drive for the patch copying process, which is only temporary and reclaimed when the update is installed.
After teasing a Terminator crossover in Warzone, the Season 4 Battle Pass announcement confirmed that the T-800 and T-1000 Terminators arrive as Store Bundles in the mid-Season update.
The T-800 is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s classic Terminator played and the T-1000 is the shapeshifting android from T2 who most often appears as a cop played by Robert Patrick.
Warzone’s Season 4 update added the Marco 5 SMG and UGM-8 LMG, and the Vargo-S Assault Rifle is the latest gun to arrive. Similar to the H4 Blixen and Armaguerra 43, the Vargo-S is a highly accurate AR with a fast fire rate, although it can be “outclassed in power” according to Raven.
The Vargo-S is an early prototype of Cold War’s Vargo 52, with “steady aim through sustained fire and a quick reload.”
With machines coming to Warzone, Iron Trials are no longer enough. It’s time to gear up and take on the Titanium Trials, a brand-new mode arriving as part of the Season 4 Reloaded update.
Designed to simulate the strength and durability of the Terminator, the game’s maximum base armor threshold will be raised to 300 points. Paired up with slower health regeneration, the time-to-kill in this mode will be significantly higher than we are used to.
Thankfully, each player will spawn with a Self Revive Kit to get you back in the action, while the mode features “a custom-built loot table” designed to support the higher TTK. Redacted Weapons will make an appearance in this mode, with fewer overall resources to be found in-game.
Unfortunately, we have to wait for a little bit to get into the action, as Titanium Trials won’t go live in-game until August 11, lasting two weeks.
Zombie Royale is back, with Rebirth of the Dead tasking players to “eliminate whatever threats lurk in the fog.”
In this mode, ten squads will deploy on the island and will need to fight not only each other, but hordes of the undead as they attempt to secure victory. Any player eliminated from the match will come back as a Zombie, tasked with taking down the living that still roams the island.
Zombies will be able to respawn as Operators by finding four lone Antivirals in crates or at Buy Stations, by eliminating other Operators, or by performing a Finishing Move.
Warzone players will have two new ways to get around the island in Season 4 Reloaded, with Portable Redeploy Balloons introduced, and Armored SUVs getting a serious boost in performance.
Allowing players to get around the map quickly, these lootable items can be found as a Field Upgrade in loot, or as a Contract reward. They’ll take 30 seconds to blow up, after which you can clip on and fly into the air.
If you felt the Armored SUV just wasn’t quick enough for you, a shot of Nitrous should really get you speeding around the map.
Good news for Warzone players who grinded for Vanguard Zombies camos, as they will now be available in the battle royale moving forward.
The skins will be available on Caldera, Fortune’s Keep, and Rebirth Island, so you’ll be able to show off your achievements wherever you play.

This work was completed during Season Four but is listed here for comprehensiveness.
Vanguard Redacted Weapons made their debut at the launch of Fortune’s Keep. These Weapons not only include a 10-attachment setup but also contain an exclusive Redacted gun perk!
This Weapon perk is a combination of some of the more desirable gun perks: Fleet, Steady, Perfectionist, Vital, Hardscope, Brace, Spotter, Awareness, Wreck, Mechanic, Fast Melee and Onhand.
Needless to say, a redacted Weapon is an extremely dangerous and highly sought after piece of loot. What’s more, you’ll be able to find additional rare Redacted Weapons in Titanium Trials: Endurance!
We are closing in on 200 Weapons in Warzone, and with so many to choose from it can be difficult to know what the right choice is when returning to the game for a new season. Starting in Season Four Reloaded, we will be rolling out a new feature with some Players where select Weapons of each category will be flagged as “Recommended” to help guide toward a Weapon that is currently performing well within its class.
The current health of the Long-Range Assault Rifle category is not where we’d like it to be, as it stands, the best performing builds are ones that result in the least amount of recoil. It’s high time we take a pass at some of the major outliers so that Vanguard Assault Rifles are less likely to devolve into pin-point accurate lasers. While some Weapons are intentionally made to be easier to control, those should receive penalties to their damage profile which we will roll-out over time.
The following shotguns Max Pellet Damage have been increased by 26%
Fun fact, the recoil booster was previously only boosting horizontal recoil.

Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2.0 are officially on the way, and Call of Duty fans finally have a date for a major gameplay reveal.

Activision have scrapped an unreleased Warzone and Vanguard skin after using an artist’s work without permission.
Activision admitted to the major misstep of using an artist’s work without permission. The original art was to feature in an upcoming Vanguard and Warzone skin that has since been axed.
Major content drops like new seasons or midseason updates deliver weapons, maps, and changes to Call of Duty games, but they also tend to bring brand-new skins to enjoy. Vanguard and Warzone have seen some noteworthy skins that certainly got players talking.
After all, who could forget the Armored Titan, or Godzilla and King Kong skins? At the start of Season 4 Reloaded, players also received a new Terminator crossover. However, teasers for Season 4 Reloaded also hinted at a mysterious wolf-like skin.
After the wolf skin was teased in an official Call of Duty blog post, it was later inexplicably removed and replaced from the very same post. It turns out, Activision used content that did not belong to them in order to create the aforementioned skin.
Activision seems to have removed all images of the dog/wolf operator skin from the Call of Duty blog Left image is the new image, right is what it was before unsure if the skin is releasing now pic.twitter.com/VGzENnKhkq
When the wolf skin was first teased, it certainly generated a ton of buzz, or rather raised a ton of eyebrows. The anthropomorphic Operator definitely sticks out in a WWII-era Call of Duty game. Nonetheless, fans were excited at the prospect of running around as a wolf in Warzone.
Unfortunately, that idea won’t come to fruition as Activision have confirmed that they completely removed the skin from their planned content drop for Season 4 Reloaded.
It seems Activision overstepping bounds is the reason behind the skin’s cancelation.

An artist claimed that the wolf skin, also known as Samoyed skin, was stolen without their permission. In a strange turn of events, Activision has issued an apology, seemingly confirming the artist’s claims.
In a statement, Activision admitted that they “regrettably erred in our process and have removed this imagery from the game,” apologizing for the misstep.
While fans may be disappointed to lose their chance at slaying in a furry wolf skin, most would agree that if the artist’s claims are legitimate, the greater injustice was corrected as nobody should have their work stolen without credit.

The Armaguerra 43 is an extremely effective SMG, and here’s the best loadout for it in Warzone Pacific Season 4 Reloaded.
The Armaguerra 43 is an extremely effective SMG, and with the right attachments, Perks, and Equipment you can make the best loadout for it in Warzone Pacific Season 4 Reloaded.
The Warzone Pacific Season 4 Reloaded update brought some major changes to the game’s meta, and players are trying out different weapons following the buffs and nerfs to existing weapons.
SMGs are ideal weapons for close-range combat in Warzone, and the Armaguerra 43 continues to be a great choice even after the small nerf that it received in the Season 4 Reloaded update.
Here’s the best Armaguerra 43 loadout for Warzone Pacific Season 4 Reloaded.
We’ll start off this Warzone loadout by equipping the Recoil Booster muzzle and Botti 315mm CII barrel to boost the weapon’s bullet velocity and recoil control.
The Polymer Grip will further improve the SMG’s accuracy and you can use the Slate Reflector for its unobtrusive sight. The Imerito SA Folding stock and Mark VI Skeletal underbarrel will improve the weapon’s ADS movement speed.
We picked the 9mm 60 Round Mags along with the Lengenthed ammo to ensure you have plenty of rounds to eliminate multiple enemies. The Vital perk will increase the size of the critical-hit area on targets, and Quick will allow you to sprint faster.
Enemies will often toss grenades and thermite your way during close-quarters combat, so we recommend equipping the E.O.D Perk to make you more resistant to explosive damage.
You’ll want to pick Overkill so that you can pair this SMG with an option like the Cooper Carbine for long-range combat, and Amped to quickly switch between the two weapons.
This SMG forces you up close and personal with opponents, so a well-placed Throwing Knife is the perfect way to quickly remove an enemy from the equation, and a Stim will grant you a quick health boost.
While normally the Armaguerra is unlocked via an in-game challenge that requires you to score 10 hip-fire kills in 15 separate matches, the weapon is available completely free in Season 4 Reloaded.
So you don’t have to worry about completing any challenge throughout the rest of the season, as the weapon will automatically be added to your inventory after logging into Warzone.
The Season 4 Reloaded update brought balancing updates for numerous Warzone Pacific weapons, and the Armaguerra 43 received a slight nerf to one of its barrel attachments.
Here are the Armaguerra changes:
Warzone is brimming with great SMGs, if you’re looking for an alternative to the Armaguerra 43 then the Marco 5 is another viable pick for close-range combat encounters because of its mobility and fast TTK.
The H4 Blixen continues to be a powerful weapon choice even after the nerfs it received in Season 4 Reloaded, so be sure to give that a try as well.
