So far, Sledgehammer Games has not revealed any patch notes for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone just yet. We’ll list the known issues for both MW3 and Warzone below.

Modern Warfare 3 Known Issues:

Multiplayer:

• The “Change to Loadout #” keybinds do not function as intended
• Reactive Operator Skins, Reactive Blueprints, and Operators stolen with the “Identity Theft” Finishing Move, lose their visual effects upon round change in round-based playlists
• Players are encountering instances of manned killstreak UI persisting or reappearing after exiting the streak

Zombies:

• Switching weapons while possessing the “Numb Foot” Passive Item in the 3rd Aether Rift removes its movement speed boost
• Players are unable to interact with certain prompts while using the “Prioritize Interact” Interact/Reload Behavior setting
• Exfilling from Urzikstan to any Dark Aether Rift counts as a Loss in the player’s Combat Record

Warzone:

Global:

• [PC] Crashing and Stability Reports: Submit a PC Crash Report to help us identify, investigate, and resolve game crashes.
• [PC] RAM Usage: We’re investigating reports of higher-than-usual memory (RAM) usage on PC platforms following a recent game update.

Battle Royale, Resurgence, Plunder, Lockdown:

• [All Platforms] Bunker Buster: We’ve temporarily disabled Bunker Busters while we investigate a related issue.
• Torque 35: We’re aware of an issue causing incorrect ammo type to be displayed on the HUD while using the Torque 35 (new bow).

• [All Platforms] Sky Piercer Parachute: This customization has been disabled until further notice.

Outside of the known issues, the patch should prep the data released earlier this week for the Black Ops 6 beta, which kicks off today for early access at 1 pm ET/10 am PT/1 am HKT! For those that redeemed a platform code but seeing a “pre-order” required when accessing the title, it’s a known issue Activision is aware of.

If any notes are released, we’ll update the article.
