Modern Warfare: Update 1.20 Patch Notes, New MK9 Bruen LMG, Gunsmith Customs, Obsidian Camo And More

A new patch update has arrived for Modern Warfare for Xbox One, PS4 and PC owners of the full game.

A new LMG weapon has arrived called the KM9 Bruen, which was promised at the start of Season 3. We've also been given Gunsmith customs and a new contract in Warzone; along with the new armor satchel item.

You can also enjoy double XP this week to rank up fast and earn rewards from the battle pass.

Here are the details on the next update.

How To Download

For this week’s update, owners of the full version of Modern Warfare will have two separate downloads in order to complete the update. Once the update is live, players will download the patch as normal.

Once that is completed, when an owner of the full version of Modern Warfare tries to access Multiplayer, Special Ops, or Campaign they will be prompted to download the Data Pack DLC.

During the Data Pack DLC download, you’ll have access to Warzone so, jump into a match of Battle Royale or Plunder.

When the download is complete, players must restart the game to access all modes of Modern Warfare. Free-to-play Warzone users will not have a secondary download to download the Data Pack DLC with this update.
