The new season in MW3 is decidedly marijuana-themed, so if you can't see out of your humvee because it's too boxed out, we've got you covered with all of the new content and changes coming in the season, including Snoop Dogg and Cheech & Chong joining your squad. Read on below for the MW3 multiplayer patch notes for season three. MW3 season three patch notes Here's everything arriving in season three of MW3 when it comes to multiplayer. Check out our list of patch notes for Warzone and MW3 Zombies for more info on those modes. Weapon balancing and bug fixes As is always the case, MW3's new seasonal update adds a bunch of weapon changes and fixes to bugs and issues plaguing the game. But there's also some fun new additions to stuff like the UI design. As far as weapon changes, some big nerfs are in store for the RAM-7, Holger 556, and MCW, which have been dominant assault rifles since they released. Sledgehammer says that \"with the MCW, one headshot will no longer result in a four-shot kill.\" Interestingly, incendiary damage has received a 33 percent increase for the Thermite grenade, so don't be surprised to see more of them in the game. Other tacticals and lethals have also been tweaked. Additionally, all MW2 weapons have received a significant buff with improvements to clarity while firing, and global changes to ADS Idle Sway which is \"now a predictable motion, raising the skill ceiling by eliminating randomness and encouraging weapon mastery,\" according to Sledgehammer. Overall, there have been many changes to multiple meta guns and weapon archetypes in general. For the full list of changes, check out the patch notes on CoD's website. Six new maps A whopping six new six-vs-six maps are coming in season three, and they all look pretty interesting. 6 Star Emergency Grime Checkpoint Tanked Growhouse For more info on the new maps, check out our guide on MW3's new season three maps. Four new weapons MW3's new guns in season three include a new SMG, a new sniper, a new assault rifle, and a new melee weapon. Two of the four guns are returning from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. FJX Horus SMG (launch) MORS sniper rifle (launch) Gladiator melee weapon (launch) BAL-27 (midseason) For more info on the new weapons, check out our guide on MW3's new guns in season three. Eight new Aftermarket Parts Season three adds new Aftermarket Parts, including several new Conversion Kits for existing weapons. These include some Modern Warfare 2 guns as well. JAK Cutthroat (Stock) JAK Revenger Kit (BP50) JAK Jawbreaker (KV Broadside) JAK Shadow Titan Kit (Bruen Mk9) JAK Patriot (M16) Wardens (Lockwood Mk2) JAK Atlas Kit (AMR9) Photonic Charge Barrel (MORS) For more on the new AMP additions in season three, check out our full list of Aftermarket Parts in MW3. New animated seasonal camo Completing all of season three's weekly challenge will unlock this new animated camo called \"Allegiances.\" New perks and equipment Season three adds three new vests, one new pair of boots, one new gear, a new Field Upgrade, and a new tactical called the EMD Mine. Check out our full list of perks in MW3 for more info. New events Several new events in MW3 are scheduled for season three, including multiple themed around the 4\/20 holiday that's all about smoking weed. Along with Snoop Dogg in the battle pass, fellow weed enjoyers Cheech and Chong are also coming to the game in bundles. Godzilla x Kong: Battle for Hollow Earth (April 3 to 10) Blaze Up (April) High Trip (April) Vortex: Vi.Rus Mainframe (in-season) More events after Season Three Reloaded in May New Prestige levels A new max level, level 650, is coming in season three along with four new Prestiges. New store bundles If you enjoy the increasingly wild operator bundles in MW3, then season three is for you.

The new season in MW3 is decidedly marijuana-themed, so if you can't see out of your humvee because it's too boxed out, we've got you covered with all of the new content and changes coming in the season, including Snoop Dogg and Cheech & Chong joining your squad. Read on below for the MW3 multiplayer patch notes for season three. MW3 season three patch notes Here's everything arriving in season three of MW3 when it comes to multiplayer. Check out our list of patch notes for Warzone and MW3 Zombies for more info on those modes. Weapon balancing and bug fixes As is always the case, MW3's new seasonal update adds a bunch of weapon changes and fixes to bugs and issues plaguing the game. But there's also some fun new additions to stuff like the UI design. As far as weapon changes, some big nerfs are in store for the RAM-7, Holger 556, and MCW, which have been dominant assault rifles since they released. Sledgehammer says that \"with the MCW, one headshot will no longer result in a four-shot kill.\" Interestingly, incendiary damage has received a 33 percent increase for the Thermite grenade, so don't be surprised to see more of them in the game. Other tacticals and lethals have also been tweaked. Additionally, all MW2 weapons have received a significant buff with improvements to clarity while firing, and global changes to ADS Idle Sway which is \"now a predictable motion, raising the skill ceiling by eliminating randomness and encouraging weapon mastery,\" according to Sledgehammer. Overall, there have been many changes to multiple meta guns and weapon archetypes in general. For the full list of changes, check out the patch notes on CoD's website. Six new maps A whopping six new six-vs-six maps are coming in season three, and they all look pretty interesting. 6 Star Emergency Grime Checkpoint Tanked Growhouse For more info on the new maps, check out our guide on MW3's new season three maps. Four new weapons MW3's new guns in season three include a new SMG, a new sniper, a new assault rifle, and a new melee weapon. Two of the four guns are returning from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. FJX Horus SMG (launch) MORS sniper rifle (launch) Gladiator melee weapon (launch) BAL-27 (midseason) For more info on the new weapons, check out our guide on MW3's new guns in season three. Eight new Aftermarket Parts Season three adds new Aftermarket Parts, including several new Conversion Kits for existing weapons. These include some Modern Warfare 2 guns as well. JAK Cutthroat (Stock) JAK Revenger Kit (BP50) JAK Jawbreaker (KV Broadside) JAK Shadow Titan Kit (Bruen Mk9) JAK Patriot (M16) Wardens (Lockwood Mk2) JAK Atlas Kit (AMR9) Photonic Charge Barrel (MORS) For more on the new AMP additions in season three, check out our full list of Aftermarket Parts in MW3.

Check out our full list of perks in MW3 for more info. New events Several new events in MW3 are scheduled for season three, including multiple themed around the 4\/20 holiday that's all about smoking weed. Along with Snoop Dogg in the battle pass, fellow weed enjoyers Cheech and Chong are also coming to the game in bundles. Godzilla x Kong: Battle for Hollow Earth (April 3 to 10) Blaze Up (April) High Trip (April) Vortex: Vi.Rus Mainframe (in-season) More events after Season Three Reloaded in May New Prestige levels A new max level, level 650, is coming in season three along with four new Prestiges.
