Activision has unveiled the latest patch notes for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. The update includes weapon rebalancing, bug fixes, introduction of ground vehicles on Rebirth Island, and more. This update comes at a time when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is experiencing a surge in popularity.

Recently, Call of Duty witnessed a significant increase in Steam player count due to a free trial from April 4 to April 8 and the launch of Season 3 on April 3. Season 3 introduced two new weapons, the MORS sniper and FJX Horus SMG. However, some Warzone players encountered issues with the MORS, causing shots to miss their mark. While this problem persists in the latest update, Call of Duty has assured players that a fix is planned for a future patch.

In Warzone's update, the main change is the addition of ground vehicles to Rebirth Island. Other alterations involve removing certain attachments from Gunsmith screens, such as the duplicate ZEHMN35 muzzle on the TAQ Evolvere and the incompatible Hurricane 9 Variable optic on the MORS. Bug fixes in the Warzone update address issues like equipment not being picked up automatically, incorrect spawning of UAV Towers, and the minimap failing to indicate an enemy Advanced UAV.

The Modern Warfare 3 update focuses on the SVA 545 AR, which receives significant balance changes, including enhanced damage ranges. Similar attachment adjustments from the Warzone update are applied, along with improvements to penetration damage using the MORS' Photonic Charge barrel. Gameplay enhancements in MW3 include better spawn logic during enemy killstreaks and additional spawn points in Shipment for improved respawning.

Moreover, Modern Warfare 3 introduces updates to Vests. Equipping both the Ninja Vest and Reinforced Boots now grants Running Sneakers effects, while the Compression Carrier Vest triggers health regeneration immediately after a launcher kill. Additionally, C4 explosives require half a second on a surface before detonation.

The Modern Warfare 3 update also tackles various bugs, such as lingering Conversion Kits in the Gunsmith menu, incomplete messages for Armory Unlock Challenges, and inaccurate countdown timers for Weekly Challenges.
