Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Season 4 Reloaded patch notes

The Modern Warfare 2 Season 4 Reloaded patch notes will contain plenty of changes alongside all of the new content making its way to multiplayer. Usually, mid-season updates for Modern Warfare 2 are smaller than those that arrive at the start of a season but there's a lot of content on the way.

Season 4 Reloaded is one of the final content drops for the current cycle and includes the MX Guardian shotgun and The Boys Operators as part of the latest crossover.
