Table of Contents Table of Contents

It feels like just yesterday we welcomed Season 4 of CoD, but now it is time for Season 5, so we hope players are ready for the exciting new features and events as well as a brand new Battle Pass. Something we all weren’t expecting is Niki Minaj and Snoop Dog skins which are also now available.

Below is a list of new content and features added to CoD as of August 2.

CoD MWII DMZ & Warzone Season 5 Patch Notes

This list is from the official website, where the full patch notes can be read.

GLOBAL

STABILITY

• This update contains several fixes to reduce the number of known crashes. We continue to prioritize increased stability and crash fixes across all platforms.

BATTLE PASS

• Shadow Company’s Arthur Joins BlackCell
  • One of Shadow Company’s best, Arthur is [[REDACTED]]. All we know is that he is a warrior to the core. No face, only a callsign; he is apparently a legend, but no legible records were found. And the only companion he associates with his second-in-command, a K9 Unit in Merlin.
• New Tactical Pets Companion Feature
  • New to Modern Warfare® II, Operators will have the option to bring companions alongside them in Multiplayer, Battle Royale, and DMZ modes. This provides the unparalleled benefit of companionship along with a devastating Finishing Move. Merlin — and other Tactical Pets— cannot be harmed in any way and play a role in Finishing Moves. . . . Just remember to equip the Finishing Move separate from the companion when editing your chosen Operator.
• New: Battle Buddy
  • Another new addition to Modern Warfare II is a Battle Buddy  – virtual “assistants” who act as a mini-announcer with some additional personality.“Gwen” is the first, as her Gun Screen – what she prefers as opposed to “Battle Buddy” – is packaged with Arthur and his K9 unit Merlin. Just perform well with her equipped, because she has no time to assist with anything but a successful mission. She will callout Killstreak activations, kills – including with specific weapons or equipment – and other in-game personal events, especially when you win or perform well in a match.

OPERATORS

New Operators

Oz

• When General Shepherd asked him to take the lead in a cyber defense division of a new PMC group, Oz was ready to join Shadow Company… As their “de facto leader,” Oz uses both his elite special operations toolset on the ground as well as his skills in cyberwarfare.

Graves

• He’s back. You probably have questions. Graves does not have time for answers. He says he was never in that tank that exploded at the hands of the 141, and now it’s back to business.

Mila

• Biographical intel for this Operator has been [[REDACTED]].

Velikan

• The Shadow Company warden of Building 21 just got ousted by Konni Group, so now this “giant” is ready for new operations. 

EVENTS

Faction Showdown

• Choose Task Force 141 or Shadow Company. The Faction with the most eliminations at the end of the event wins. Players can switch Factions at any time during the event. Complete all 5 challenges for each Faction to unlock a Mastery Reward for that Faction. Completing all challenges for the winning Faction earns additional rewards. Choose a side, fight until the last minute, get rewarded, and await further orders as the event concludes, prior to mid-season. This event will kick-off on August 4th.

Call of Duty Celebrates 50 Years of Hip Hop

• In celebration of 50 years of hip hop, Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone will have free content and special Bundles available throughout Season 05:
  • Daily Login Rewards:
    • 3 War Tracks
