It's a big day for Call of Duty, with the newest update launching today.

The Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4 mid-season Reloaded update is out now, and the patch notes include a whole bunch of new content like Terminator operators, new modes, weapon-balance changes, and even a feature to find the perfect weapon for your class. At only 6 GB, you should be able to download it pretty quickly, as well.
In terms of new content, players can pick up the new Terminator T-800 Mastercraft Ultra operator bundle that lets you become Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic killing machine on the Call of Duty battlefield. There are 10 items in the bundle, including special weapon blueprints and an "I'll Be Back" animated emblem.
The Terminator T-1000 Ultra operator bundle is also being added to Warzone, and like its name suggests, this is the T-1000 version of Terminator from Terminator 2. It also comes with 10 items in all, including the Liquid Metal SMG and Persistent Mission assault rifle.
Other new content being added to Warzone is a new weapon, the Vargo-S assault rifle from Call of Duty: Vanguard. What's more, all base weapons from Vanguard Season 1-3 are now available for everyone.
Additionally, Warzone is rolling out a new feature that will flag some weapons as "recommended" to help players find weapons that are determined to be among the best in their specific class. Activision is adding this new feature as Warzone closes in on having more than 200 weapons.
There are new quality-of-life changes, too. The gas circle on Fortune's Keep has seen its radius and timing rebalanced to make matches move faster, while Radar Jammer drop rates have been reduced. The Armored SUV, meanwhile, now has a "nitrous boost" ability, while Legendary supply box drop rates have been increased across the Caldera map.
Warzone is adding new events as well, including "Cursed Ground" on Fortune's Keep. Players will find "Cursed" chests on the map containing power-ups and high-quality items, but players need to fight off zombies to get them. Another mode called Rebirth of the Dead launches today on Rebirth Island. Players become zombies when they die and can collect antiviral medicine to become human again.
On August 11, a new mode called Titanium Trials: Endurance will be added to Warzone. This is an update over the previous Iron Trials mode that increases maximum base armor to 300 for a total of 400 when fully equipped with plates. Players are given a self-revive kit and and health regeneration takes "significantly" longer to replenish. This mode also adds a new intro cinematic themed around Terminator.
This is just a small sampling of what's new in Warzone with Season 4 Reloaded. Some kind of dog/wolf skin is also apparently coming to the game at some point, so keep checking back with GameSpot for more. You can see the patch notes below or read them on developer Raven's website.

This work was completed during Season Four but is listed here for comprehensiveness.
Vanguard Redacted Weapons made their debut at the launch of Fortune's Keep. These Weapons not only include a 10-attachment setup but also contain an exclusive Redacted gun perk!
This Weapon perk is a combination of some of the more desirable gun perks: Fleet, Steady, Perfectionist, Vital, Hardscope, Brace, Spotter, Awareness, Wreck, Mechanic, Fast Melee and Onhand.
Needless to say, a redacted Weapon is an extremely dangerous and highly sought after piece of loot. What's more, you’ll be able to find additional rare Redacted Weapons in Titanium Trials: Endurance!
We are closing in on 200 Weapons in Warzone, and with so many to choose from it can be difficult to know what the right choice is when returning to the game for a new season. Starting in Season Four Reloaded, we will be rolling out a new feature with some Players where select Weapons of each category will be flagged as “Recommended” to help guide toward a Weapon that is currently performing well within its class.
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.
The following shotguns Max Pellet Damage have been increased by 26%
Fun fact, the recoil booster was previously only boosting horizontal recoil.
