Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be receiving its first major update since the record-breaking battle royale mode - Warzone - was introduced to the game with a new map, Operator and weapons expected to be added to the game.

The next title update is scheduled for release tonight, March 27th at 11 pm PST across all platforms. The servers will go down for a time and then you will be able to update your client.

We have scoured various sources to piece together everything that will be in the latest update using only official sources so we can be pretty sure of the information we are providing.

First up, in a blog post on the Call of Duty website, it was revealed that Modern Warfare will be getting a brand new Operator called Talon as well as a new mid-sized map named - Khandor Hideout in v1.18.

While Warzone players will be getting four new weapons to play with and several gameplay tweaks such as the increase to the Custom Loadout drop which will now cost $8,500.



725 Shotgun

Infamous in the Modern Warfare this shotgun is great at close AND long range - with its rapid-fire two-round capacity proving to melt opponents.

MK2 Carbine

This highly accurate bolt action rifle has one shot-kill capacity but it's single-shot nature mean you need to make sure you land your shots.

.50 GS

The 0.50 GS aka the Deagle is a heavy-hitting sidearm that can absolutely take the head off an opponent up to medium range. Try some of the above attachments for a more complete setup.

EBR-14

This EBR-14 Carbine is a semi-automatic long-range battle rifle balances rate of fire with lethality.

Khandor Hideout

Modern Warfare will get its third new map since the start of Season 2 with the introduction of Khandor Hideout.

Activision has described it as a "medium-sized map in Syrkistan that supports 6v6 play and has long sightlines and interior spaces to complement diverse combat ranges."

The map looks to be set in a small town with a large factory in the middle and should allow for a variety of playstyles

Operator Talon

There will also be a new Operator for players of Modern Warfare in the form of Talon. This Canadian Special Forces operative will be available as part of a bundle that contains two Legendary weapon blueprints and a Finishing move that involves his dog - Sasquatch!
