Arguably the most anticipated chapter of Modern Warfare and Warzone, Season 5 is finally here. It introduces a plethora of new content to both the multiplayer and battle royale components. From map changes, new guns, weapon balance tuning, and plenty more, it\u2019s a hefty update. There\u2019s every reason to expect that S5 could be the best and most jam-packed season of MW so far as content continues to release over the next few weeks. When was the Modern Warfare &#038; Warzone Season 5 update? The update went live at 2 AM ET on August 5, or 11 PM PT on August 4. Here are the confirmed sizes for the patch on all three platforms: PlayStation 4: 33.9 GB &#8211; Xbox One: 49.8 GB &#8211; PC: 54.2 GB (Modern Warfare owners) and 47.4 GB (Warzone only owners) &#8211; And for those concerned that they might not have enough space on their device, Activision confirmed that \u201conce the new content has been integrated into your game, Modern Warfare will have a decreased overall footprint on console.\u201d Modern Warfare &#038; Warzone Season 5 Roadmap Here is the official roadmap for the brand new chapter, detailing which parts of Season 5 are available right at launch and what Infinity Ward is saving to release throughout the weeks and months ahead. What\u2019s new in Warzone Season 5? Warzone map changes As expected, Warzone received the biggest bulk of new content and changes since its release. Chief among the S5 content drop are several major tweaks to the Verdansk map. The biggest change is the fact that Stadium\u2019s roof has been blown open, turning the previously-inaccessible structure into a potentially bustling POI. Train Station, a location that most either love or hate, is also getting its fair share of adjustments, as the buildings are now open as well. Speaking of trains, a large freight train has been added to the map, which not only carries loot but also offers players another way to get quickly around. The train is on a preset path that aims to \u201ccircumnavigate the southwwestern part of Verdansk.\u201d Last but not least, we have the exterior Ascension ziplines \u2013 devices attached to taller structures like Stadium and the skyscrapers in Downtown which players can use to access rooftops and counter those who like to camp up top. New modes &#038; weapon rotation There are two new modes coming to Warzone \u2013 Mini Royale, which comes at the start of Season 5, and King Slayer, which comes later and the details for which haven\u2019t been announced. Mini Royale, as Activision describes it, condenses the regular battle royale modes into a faster-paced and much more intense version with a lot more combat. It features a lower player-count (exact number TBA) and only \u201cthe first and last five minutes of a normal game exist,\u201d which could mean the gas circle, Gulag, and other regular components will function differently. Then there\u2019s the topic of weapon rotation; Infinity Ward has changed up the guns that\u2019ll be available as floor loot as now there will be exactly the same number of each rarity on the map: 25 Legendary variants (gold) &#8211; 19 Epic (purple) &#8211; 15 Rare (blue) &#8211; 12 Uncommon (green) &#8211; 8 Common (gray) &#8211; Furthermore, weapons available in the Gulag will also be changing each week throughout Season 5. There are four distinct sets of weapons and players can expect to cycle through them with every passing week. As far as miscellaneous additions go, a new feature called Wartracks has made its debut: \u201cJam out to some sweet MW tunes while you\u2019re cruising through Verdansk with Wartracks, available in the Battle Pass.\u201d This works similarly to the vehicle skins in that players can equip a Wartrack to each specific vehicle and the song will play as soon as anyone from their team hops in. What\u2019s new in Modern Warfare multiplayer? New maps Infinity Ward has upped the levels of new content in multiplayer with four whole new maps making their debut in Season 5. Suldal Harbor and Petrov Oil Rig are the two new 6v6 maps, while Livestock is for Gunfight, and Verdansk Int\u2019l. Airport, based on its namesake location in Warzone, has been released for Ground War. New weapons: ISO SMG, AN-94 assault rifle, more The start of every season introduces two new weapons in both multiplayer and Warzone, and S5 is no exception with the ISO SMG and AN-94 assault rifle. The ISO is inspired by the ACP9 submachine gun \u2013 a compact, high-fire rate gun that\u2019s perfect for close engagements. As for the AN-94, fans of the Black Ops series will instantly recognize it as the powerful AR from BO2: \u201cThe initial shot of a full-auto volley is followed by an instantaneous second round before significant recoil is felt.\u201d As per usual, both guns are available to all players for free via the Battle Pass; the ISO is unlocked by reaching Tier 15 and the AN-94 by hitting Tier 31 of the pass\u2019 free portion. That\u2019s not all: Activision also announced that two more weapons will be released at some point during the season \u2013 the dual-wield Kodachis swords and one that\u2019s currently \u201cclassified.\u201d Shadow Company Operators This had been announced previously, but S5 also added a new faction to multiplayer called Shadow Company \u2013 the same one that was introduced in the Modern Warfare 2 campaign, under the command of the villainous General Shepherd. Shadow Company comes complete with three brand new Operators: Lerch, Rozlin \u2018Roze\u2019 Helms, and Velikan, who will be released in-season while the first two are available at launch. Season 5 Battle Pass As mentioned above, new weapons and Shadow Company Operators are available via the Battle Pass, which features 100 tiers. Included among the offerings are new outfit skins, weapon blueprints, watches, gun charms, vehicle camos, XP tokens, CoD Points, and the aforementioned Wartracks. There is a free portion of this pass as well though. Through which the ISO, AN-94, and other select cosmetic items can be unlocked. However, for those who want the full experience, there is the option of purchasing it for 1,000 CoD Points. This will unlock the new Lerch Operator, all 100 tiers, and give you 1,300 CP back. And if you want to go even bigger, there\u2019s always the Battle Pass Bundle. For 2,400 CP this option automatically grants you 20 tiers right away. Compared to the standard price, this option can save you 40% in total value. From every major change all of the new content, the full patch notes for Season 5 can be found below.
