One of the main pieces of content arriving in today's update is the new 'Rebirth of The Dead' mode, which will see Zombies return to Warzone, exclusively on Rebirth Island.

There's also going to be further weapon balancing and bug fixes included in the update. So, if you're eager to find out more, here are the official patch notes and details for the July 27 Call of Duty: Warzone update.

Call of Duty: Warzone Update 1.60 Patch Notes For Season 4 Reloaded

Below you will find the official patch notes for the July 27 Call of Duty: Warzone update, which marks the beginning of Season 4 Reloaded.

MODES

Rebirth of the Dead New Mode | July 27th through August 11th

For a limited time, the classic Zombie Royale experience is coming back - this time to Rebirth Island but with a twist. 

For those who haven’t played before, here are the core rules:

  • Players become zombies when they die. 
  • Zombies can collect antivirals from crates or dead Players to redeploy as a human.
  • Last team with a human wins.
  • Player Count: 10 squads of four.

But that’s not all. The following additions have been made to the mode:

  • As Zombies are Eliminated, the Infestation Meter fills. When it’s full, all spectators are returned to play as Zombies.Then it all starts again.
  • During the match, Medical Supplies will be parachuted in to help humans and zombies alike.
  • Zombies that perform a Finishing Move on a human will redeploy.
  • Play to get one of two exclusive event Calling Cards;
  • Head Scratcher: Perform your Finishing Move as a Zombie.
  • Last Alive: Win a match of Rebirth of the Dead as a Human.

With the above also comes an ominous fog to Rebirth Island. For a limited time, experience this new mood and atmosphere during Rebirth of the Dead.

One final note: It seems the Golden Vaults have been opened. Who knows what awaits you inside?

Titanium Trials: Endurance New Mode | August 11th through 24th

First there were the Iron Trials – now, inspired by the rise of machines in the near future, it’s time for all Operators to gear up for the Titanium Trials in Caldera.

  • 152 Players on Caldera in a game mode variant of Battle Royale
  • Maximum base armor threshold increased to 300 hit points, for a total of 400 effective health when fully plated
  • Core health is 100HP and regeneration takes significantly longer to heal to full. Armor is everything, afterall. 
  • The Tempered Perk appears more frequently as ground loot for more efficient armor repairs.
  • Each Player begins the game, and returns from the gulag, with a Self-Revive Kit
  • Features a custom-built, thematic loot table to support the higher TTK gameplay, including exceedingly rare Redacted Weapons that are a step more powerful than Loadout Weapons.
  • The cost of Loadouts in Buy Stations begins at a higher price point and decreases over the duration of the match. Be sure to grab your discounted Loadouts as the circle collapses!
  • Updated infiltration cinematic for T-800 and T-1000 Terminator Operators

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed collision issues with various elements across Caldera allowing Players to exploit/peek/shoot through them.
  • Fixed an issue causing Helicopter damage from rotor blades to not be displayed in damage dealt.
  • Fixed an issue causing Players to lose their riot shields when downed in a vehicle.
  • Fixed an issue on Fortune’s Keep where Players were unable to climb/mantle boxes in Sea Caves.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Sten (VG) “Marauder Flash Hider” to have an incorrect name.
  • Fixed an issue causing some MW Weapon Attachments to have incorrect names.
  • Fixed an issue where the Scaled Snipe would cause some Weapons to be unusable when swapping Optic Attachments.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Gravity Inversion Execution to throw downed enemies an incorrect distance.
  • Fixed an issue causing the squad Placement indicator to disappear after pausing and unpausing in Golden Plunder.
  • Fixed an issue preventing the False Prospector Camo from being applied to Weapons.

GENERAL

  • Private Match Support Fortune's Keep | In-Season
  • With the success of our newest map, Fortune's Keep, the team is working hard to bring the experience to Private Matches.

GAMEPLAY

  • “Cursed Ground” New Special Event | Fortunes Keep
  • Fortune’s Keep is now considered Cursed Ground – and now has a special event to match. There are several “Cursed Chests” hidden around the newly discovered island. These chests contain power-ups and high-quality items which can only be unlocked by brave souls who survive a hungry horde. Once the event begins, Zombies will continuously spawn in the vicinity of the cursed chest. Eliminate them near the chest to harvest Wisps. As your collection grows, more difficult waves of zombies will rise to protect their Cursed Ground. Harvest enough Wisps within the time limit to secure victory and access the rewards within, including Cash, Killstreaks, Equipment, and possibly Perk Tokens.
     
  • Portable Redeploy Balloon New Deployable | All Modes
  • It’s in the name… a portable version of the popular Redeploy Balloons. Can be placed on the ground and used until it expires or is destroyed.
  • The Portable Redeploy Balloon functions as follows;
  • Has half the health of a normal Redeploy Balloon
  • Has a shorter launch distance of a normal Redeploy Balloon.
  • Will despawn automatically after a short time.
  • Comes with a unique icon identifier on the Tac Map.
  • Can be found in ground loot or as the reward for completing a Supply Drop Contract, as a guaranteed drop from the crate.
     
  • Bomber Planes (are back!) Returning Feature| Caldera Battle Royale
  • We have enjoyed watching the new Player stories that the Fighter Planes added to Season Four, so we have also re-enabled the Bombers for Battle Royale and will continue to monitor their sentiment and engagement over the season.

QUALITY OF LIFE

Adjustments

  • Teammate Buy Back All Maps & Modes
  • Previously, if a Player had enough money and a redeploy token, the redeploy token would be used before the money. Now, money will be used first. 
  • If a Player has a redeploy token and no money, the redeploy token will be spent.
  • Gas Circle Fortune’s Keep
  • The Gas Circle radii size and timings have been rebalanced for faster match pacing. We are going to continue to review data and sentiment as we finetune the Fortune's Keep experience.
  • Radar Jammer Drop Rates Fortune's Keep
  • Reduced Radar Jammer drop rates on Fortune’s Keep to align with the current drop rates on Rebirth Island.
  • Respawn Loadouts Resurgence Modes
  • Updated most Weapons & added new ones into the Resurgence respawn/spawn Loadouts.
  • Armored SUV Nitrous Boost
  • The Armored SUV, first introduced at the beginning of Season Four, now has Nitrous Boost capabilities.
  • Trophy Systems
  • Trophy systems have previously been able to destroy certain Field Upgrades. Moving forward, the Trophy System will only affect Lethals and Tacticals.
  • Legendary Supply Boxes Caldera
  • Legendary (Orange) Supply Box spawn rates have been increased on Caldera.

Previous Adjustments 

This work was completed during Season Four but is listed here for comprehensiveness.

  • Weapon Trade Stations Caldera
  • Weapon Trade Stations have been added to various locations across Caldera that allow Players to trade in their Weapons for high value loot.
  • Radar Jammer Radii Rebirth Island & Fortune’s Keep
  • Reduced the radius of the Radar Jammer on Rebirth Island and Fortune's Keep.
  • Buy Stations Fortune's Keep
  • Increased the number of Buy Stations available on Fortune's Keep from 10 to 13.
  • Public Events Fortune's Keep
  • The Firesale Public Event will now happen in Circle 3. 
  • Cash Extraction Chopper can now appear in Circles 2 and 4.
  • Lootable Perks Fortune's Keep
  • Lootable Perks have been enabled on Fortune's Keep.

PERKS

Serptentine

  • An important update to this Perk will drop shortly after the mid-season launch.

TACTICAL EQUIPMENT

Thermite

  • Stick Damage increased to 40, up from 30 
  • This change results in reliable down when sticking a target that does not have EOD equipped. 

WEAPONS

General

  • Base Weapons from Vanguard Season One through Season Three have been unlocked for all Players.

WEAPON ADJUSTMENTS

» Assault Rifles «

The current health of the Long-Range Assault Rifle category is not where we’d like it to be, as it stands, the best performing builds are ones that result in the least amount of recoil. It’s high time we take a pass at some of the major outliers so that Vanguard Assault Rifles are less likely to devolve into pin-point accurate lasers. While some Weapons are intentionally made to be easier to control, those should receive penalties to their damage profile which we will roll-out over time.
