Season five of Modern Warfare 3 is adding the American Nightmare as an operator, but that's just the beginning. New weapons, maps, modes, Prestige levels, and more will try to bring gamers back for one of MW3's final seasons before the calendar flips to fall and the focus turns to Black Ops 6 for the foreseeable future. Here's everything coming in season five of MW3, launching at 11am CT on July 24. MW3 season 5 patch notes The penultimate season of MW3 has a good amount of stuff for players to look forward to. Here's everything that's new and changing in season five's patch notes. Weapon balancing Season five will bring a balancing pass for both problematic and weak weapons in an effort to keep things fresh in the game's final months. Changes have been made to the BAL-27, Superi 46, FJX Horus, Reclaimer 18, Pulemyot 762, MTZ Interceptor, XRK Stalker, COR-45, TYR, and a handful of MW2 weapons. Several perks were also adjusted in the July 24 update. You can check out the official patch notes for all the details on the buffs, nerfs, and changes in the season five update. New weapons The STG assault rifle and Static-HV SMG are the two new guns available on day one as part of the battle pass, but even more will be coming later on. In the midseason update, the Spear melee weapon and Torque 35 combat bow will be joining the arsenal. New Aftermarket Parts New Conversion Kits for the RAAL, RPK, and more will be added throughout the season. New maps Two new maps, Bait and Yard, will join three cel-shaded variants of existing maps in season five. These are all core six-vs-six maps for the MW3 multiplayer experience. New modes Several new and limited-time modes, including one called Slam Deathmatch as part of a WWE collab, will be coming in season five. Other modes include COD Warrior and the Arcade Playlist. Speaking of WWE... WWE collab Season five's collaboration is with the worldwide leader in wrestling entertainment, the WWE. A Rhea Ripley skin will be a part of the battle pass, while Cody Rhodes and Rey Mysterio will come within the season as part of operator bundles. New Prestige levels The new max level in season five will be 1,050, with a new max Prestige of 21. As seen in the image above, there are several rewards to unlock. This article will be updated with more information once the patch is live on July 24.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-2024-07-18T124450.615.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1291567"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/918"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1291567"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1291567\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1296846,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1291567\/revisions\/1296846"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1291571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1291567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1291567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1291567"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1291567"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1291567"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1291567"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1291567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
