Call Of Duty Season 3 is on the horizon, bringing new teasers, weapon updates, and free rewards. With major events, ranked resets, and leaks hinting at Verdansk’s return, now is the time to claim exclusive items before they disappear. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest updates, CDL tournament rewards, and upcoming content.
Latest patch brings minor weapon adjustments
A new Call of Duty update has dropped, bringing a few minor changes to weapon attachments. The most notable tweak focuses on the belt-fed LMG attachment, increasing the number of rounds required to overheat while also allowing heat to dissipate more quickly. Additionally, the ADS (aim down sights) firing Movement speed penalty has been removed when using this attachment, giving players more flexibility in gunfights.
For the Zombies mode, a small UI fix has been implemented. Previously, players equipping the Beam Smasher Wonder Weapon would see the overheat meter appear incorrectly. This bug has now been addressed.
While these changes are relatively small, they could impact weapon performance in multiplayer and Zombies gameplay. Another update is expected in the coming days, possibly introducing more balancing adjustments and new content.
Treyarch teases season 3 with Rictofen’s mysterious past
With Call of Duty: Modern warfare 3 Season 3 on the horizon, Treyarch has started dropping teasers. The latest hint focuses on Rictofen, one of the most iconic figures in the Zombies storyline.
The teaser features an eerie hand-drawn picture that appears to have been made by Rictofen’s deceased son. The drawing depicts Rictofen, his wife, and his child enjoying a peaceful picnic—an event that, according to the game’s story, never actually happened. This connects to Liberty Falls’ intro cutscene, where Rictofen’s wife and son are seen burning in a tragic house fire before he wakes up from a nightmare.
The teaser includes a cryptic quote from Rictofen himself:
“I think there may be something more significant about this house. Something beyond even my understanding. Perhaps beyond even my fears.”
This strongly suggests that The Mansion could be haunted or contain some supernatural force. Since Rictofen’s son should be dead, the fact that he appears to be drawing events that never happened raises some serious questions. Could this be a sign of ghostly influence, alternate realities, or mind manipulation? Fans will have to wait for the official Season 3 trailer for more answers.

These rewards include several Double XP tokens, which could be extremely valuable once new weapons drop. With Verdansk rumored to return, stacking XP boosts could give you a head start in leveling up weapons like the Grau, Kilo, and HDR sniper.
Last chance to claim season 2 rewards
As Season 3 approaches, several limited-time events and rewards are about to expire forever. Players should act fast to claim free Operator skins, camos, blueprints, and event rewards before they disappear.
Expiring events and rewards
- TMNT event – Ends March 20
- St. Patrick’s Day Clover Craze event – Last chance to unlock themed cosmetics
- PlayStation Combat Pack – Free exclusive operator skin available in the PlayStation Store
- Warzone and multiplayer ranked rewards – Unlock free camos, challenge rewards, and weapon blueprints
These rewards will be replaced with new ranked rewards in Season 3, meaning this is your final opportunity to grab any unclaimed items.
No 5th anniversary rewards yet
Call of Duty usually celebrates major anniversaries with free gifts, operator skins, and daily login rewards. However, this time around, no official 5th Warzone anniversary rewards have been announced.
In previous years, players received exclusive bundles and XP boosts for logging in during milestone events. Since Season 3 was delayed, it’s possible that anniversary rewards could still arrive later.
What’s next?
- Potential free store bundles
- Possible double XP weekends
- Special anniversary operator skins
For now, the only anniversary-related rewards available are Double XP tokens. However, Call of Duty insiders have hinted that gift packs and daily login rewards may still be coming in an upcoming update.
Season 3 content on the horizon
With 17 days until Season 3, Call of Duty will likely slow down content releases until the next big update. The community can expect:
- More teasers leading up to the official trailer drop
- New leaks and rumors about upcoming features
- Marketing updates from Call of Duty’s official website and Twitter
While the current period may feel a bit slow, Season 3 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting updates yet. Players should claim their remaining rewards, prepare for ranked mode resets, and keep an eye on Treyarch’s hints about Rictofen’s supernatural storyline.
