Warzone Pacific Season 5 Reloaded patch notes

The Warzone Pacific Season 5 Reloaded patch notes will contain a wealth of information surrounding various elements of the battle royale. The final mid-season update features plenty of new content alongside plenty of changes to the current weapon balance.

Typically, patch notes for the mid-season updates are much shorter than patch notes that arrive along with the start of a new season. As attention begins to turn toward the launch of Warzone 2, there's a chance Raven Software will wind down support for the current version of the game.

Before we reveal more about what the patch notes may contain, check out our guides showcasing the best Warzone guns to use along with information on the next Warzone double XP event taking place.
