Modern Warfare Season 1 v1.10 patch notes: new content, Battle Pass, more

Albert Petrosyan
Infinity Ward

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season One has launched, introducing a ton of new content into the game, including a Battle Pass, new maps, modes, weapons, and much more.

Released on December 3, Season One is the biggest content launch following the release of any Call of Duty title so far. Unlike in recent years, all of the new content is available on the three major platforms right away, as PlayStation 4 no longer has an exclusivity period for multiplayer.

In terms of what’s new, this update includes several new maps, including three for the regular multiplayer, two for Gunfight, and one for Ground War. There are also three new multiplayer modes, two new weapons, several Special Ops experiences, and, of course, the Battle Pass.

However, everything except for the cosmetic and miscellaneous items in the premium portion of the Battle Pass is and will be free for all players since Activision decided to ditch the Season Pass and purchasable DLC models.

It’s worth noting, however, that not all of this is available right away, as Activision have confirmed that some of it will be added periodically throughout Season One.

In addition to all of the new content, the v1.10 update also includes several adjustments and fixes for some general issues, weapon tuning, killstreaks, and more. All in all, the patch is 18GB in size on PlayStation 4, 18.5GB on Xbox One, and 20GB on PC.

Season 1 content coming later

As for everything else, Activision have announced that the rest of the new content will be added weekly throughout the duration of Season 1.

Here’s what you can expect to be coming later on:

  • New multiplayer maps: Vacant and Shipment

  • Two new multiplayer modes:
    • Infected: It’s hunt or be hunted in the survival party game mode where eliminated survivors become infected.
    • O.S.P Gunfight: The same mechanics of traditional Gunfight apply, with the distinct difference that players begin each match with no weapons or equipment and must pick them up once the match begins.
  • Classic Special Ops Experience: Bomb Squad – Armistice Team 4 QRF must defuse IEDs planted in an Urzikstan city before detonation.
  • New Special Ops Experience: Operation Just Reward – Cut off Al Qatala’s money supply in Verdansk and target the head of their financial operation by hacking the Banker’s mobile data centers.

Modern Warfare Season 1 Battle Pass

For the first time in a Call of Duty game, a Battle Pass has been added in Modern Warfare Season 1 to give players a whole other way to earn new content.

It includes both a free and premium content stream, the latter costing CoD Points to unlock. Of the 100 Tiers, 81 are exclusive to the purchasable version and the remaining 23 available to everyone for free.

The Battle Pass offers a large variety of things for players to unlock, including two new weapons, CoD Points, Operator Skins, Blueprints (weapon variants), watches, regular XP and weapon XP tokens, player cards, emblems, knife skins, stickers, sprays, and charms.

New optimizations or bugfix that require modifying the shaders can also trigger part or the totality of the shaders to be re-compiled.
