Weapons Detail: Four New Weapons (MWIII, MWZ, WZ, WZM)
FJX Horus (Submachine Gun — Launch, Battle Pass Sector 8)
Levels: 18
“An ultra-compact SMG with best-in-class CQC damage and mobility.”
Versatility is the name of the game with this machine pistol SMG, a favorite of those who like to pack a punch on the run. This weapon has an incredible fire rate and class-leading mobility, and handling help mitigates the recoil control.
MORS (Sniper Rifle — Launch, Battle Pass Sector 4)*
Levels: 19
“This single-load railgun delivers a high-damage payload with excellent velocity and penetration.”
An advanced form of sniper warfare, the Military Operated Rail Sniper (MORS) is a one-shot beast, offering high damage with exceptional handling. Distance is an afterthought with this long-range and accurate Sniper Rifle with what might be the perfect combination of accuracy and damage. The weapon has single-round devastation with a reasonably rapid reload rate.
(*The MORS Sniper Rifle, its weapon blueprints, and certain other content will not be available on Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile at the start of the Season. We will update the community at a later date, when this weapon becomes available in that game.)
Gladiator (Melee — Launch, Battle Pass Sector 15)
Levels: 6
“A compact, concealable punch knife that was initially used by gamblers and politicians.”
Close combat was never so quick and painful, with the Gladiator rivaling the Karambit for supreme mobility, handling, and damage potential. Cut straight to the bone with haste and ease, but ensure you’re close enough to make your lethal stabs count.
BAL-27 (Assault Rifle — Mid-Season, [[REDACTED]])
Levels: 19
“A bullpup prototype weapon designed to increase fire rate over time while the trigger is squeezed. The first 4 shots are slower to fire but highly accurate.”
Top-loading with a reasonably rapid ammo swap, this fast-firing future-proof Assault Rifle shreds at closer ranges, has a moderate kick that drifts upward, offers great default reticles, and comes with a 60-round magazine once you’ve leveled it up, doubling the available ammo between reloads.
Getting More Attached: Eight New Aftermarket Parts (Launch, In-Season, MWIII, MWZ, WZ, WZM)
Season 3 introduces an incredible eight new Aftermarket Parts, many unlockable via Weekly Challenges. These bring unusual, impressive, and downright deranged modifications to your favorite armaments, including a selection from Modern Warfare II! Need to make a shotgun into an automatic Battle Rifle? Been waiting to turn the M16 from MWII into a fully automatic AR? Or are you here for the akimbo lever-action Shotguns? This season’s Aftermarket Part attachments are listed below:

Compatibility: KV Broadside (MWII) (Shotgun)
Converts this Shotgun into a hard-hitting, automatic Battle Rifle.

Converts the AMR9 into an extremely lethal and accurate 5-round burst carbine chambered in 556.
Photonic Charge Barrel ([[REDACTED]] Unlock)
Compatibility: MORS (MWIII) (Sniper Rifle)
This hyper-advanced barrel is more than simply a barrel. Holding the trigger charges the rifle and releasing fires a single, high-power energy projectile.
Mainline the Mainframe. Maintain the Stasis with BlackCell (MWIII, MWZ, WZ, WZM)
The BlackCell offering for Season 3 grants you an extensive collection of digitized and animated Operator Skins in shimmering gold with vertical glyph streams, plated tattoo work, golden glitch-wear masks, black fabric, and vivid teal blue accent accoutrements! A variety of finely crafted premium items are yours, with full access to the Season 3 Battle Pass. BlackCell owners can enter the Season 3 Battle Map through the exclusive BlackCell Sector, instantly unlocking 20 Battle Token Tier Skips to quickly unlock items across the adjacent Sectors.
The BlackCell Sector unlocks immediately upon purchase, granting immediate access to the new “Stasis BlackCell” Operator, plus the “Aggressive Action” Frag Grenade Blueprint with Death Effect, the “Double Barrel Disrespect” Finishing Move, the “All that Glitters BlackCell” Animated Blueprint for the BAS-B Battle Rifle with Async Tracers and Desync Dismemberment Death Effects, and 1,100 COD Points.

All progression will be tracked across Modern Warfare III, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. Remember that COD Points unlocked in specific Battle Pass Sectors are available only for the device you unlocked them in (console, PC, or mobile).
Operators: Makarov, Snoop Dogg, Banshee, and Hush Headline the Season 3 Battle Pass
As Konni forces have apparently infiltrated every corner of Rebirth Island, it seems only fitting that Vladimir Makarov would step out of the shadows to dominate the Season 3 Battle Pass, in both his “Dominus” and “Fenrir” forms. Previously, Makarov was only available as a Modern Warfare III Vault Edition Operator, and now his Dominus skin is instantly unlocked via the purchase of the Season 3 Battle Pass.
Also present as an instant unlock when you purchase the Battle Pass is the Doggfather himself! Unlock the “Snoop Dogg II” Skin and prepare to smoke out the competition.
The Season 3 Battle Pass is stacked with 110 pieces of unlockable content, including three free Base Weapons (detailed previously), two new Operators (Banshee and Hush), and new Skins for Makarov (two Skins), Snoop Dogg, Swagger, Ripper, Doc, Riptide, Banshee (new Operator), Corso, Byline, and Hush (new Operator).
Need a deep dive into the full Battle Pass offering? Expect the COD Blog to showcase this on April 2, just prior to Season 3 launch.
Vladimir Makarov (KorTac, Launch)
Dominus Skin: Instant Reward Sector
Fenrir Skin: Completion Sector: Tier 100
Recently a liberated man, Makarov’s plans to resume his operations against Urzikstan and its allies are now fully underway, and the ultranationalist has recently been observed on the remote Rebirth Island, which appears to be almost fully under the control of the Konni Group. He brings with him two supremely adept KorTac fighters, Banshee and Hush.
Snoop Dogg (SpecGru, Launch)
Snoop Dogg II Skin: Instant Reward Sector
All biographical information for this Operator has been [REDACTED].
Banshee (Orla Murphy (KorTac, Launch)
Operator and Skin: Sector 13
A natural scrapper, Orla Murphy always finds a way to get what she wants.
Orla Murphy grew up as one of six children in a working-class home in Dublin. Her delinquency started with minor vandalism and petty theft and eventually expanded to joyriding and robbery. Eventually caught behind the wheel of a stolen car, she was sent to a children’s detention facility. The intention was to straighten her out, and for a time it worked. Once she turned 18, Orla joined the Defence Forces. She excelled with the routine of military life and thrived in a team dynamic, but the salary failed to impress her. Orla started doing off-the-books jobs while deployed, including smuggling contraband. She also attracted the attention of KorTac, who approved of Orla’s tendency to bend the rules and dirty her hands. Following her discharge, KorTac was quick to offer her a mercenary contract to simply be herself.
Hush/Bashiir Shirwa (KorTac, Launch)
Operator and Skin: Completion Sector: Tier 100
Once a simple farmhand thrust into the chaos of Mogadishu, Bashiir Shirwa was forged in the city’s fire and became its most capable agent.
Bashiir spent much of his early life working the fields with his father and brothers. But with famine quickly spreading, most of his siblings would begin fishing in the port of Baraawe. Bashiir set out for the city of Mogadishu and began earning a wage as a security guard. He learned the rules of survival the hard way after a near fatal slashing that left him with terrible scars that still itch. Nevertheless, he adapted to the chaos of the city, learning both the street smarts necessary for survival and the skills to defend himself with ease. Within a year, his name was known throughout Mogadishu as a reliable and effective fixer. Attracting the attention of a KorTac recruiter, Bashiir enlisted and began his journey as an international mercenary. Now he stands among KorTac’s finest, a soldier for the highest bidder among KorTac’s clientele.
Stasis (KorTac, Launch, BlackCell Instant Reward)
All biographical information for this BlackCell Operator has been [REDACTED].

Tracer Pack: Cheech & Chong
Cheech Operator voiced by Cheech Marin.
Chong Operator voiced by Tommy Chong.

Facing systemic barriers with humor and cannabis, the duo exploited adversity to bring underground voices into the mainstream.
