Everything You Need To Know About Warzone Season 3 Reloaded Update

So, here is everything you need to know about the As part of the Warzone Season 3 Reloaded update.

Nakatomi Plaza
One of the most iconic buildings from the 80's film and television era is landing in Verdansk, as Die Hard's Nakatomi Plaza has now been added as a humongous POI. The building known for John McClane's brute shenanigans has replaced the Broadcast Tower in Downtown, adding a new feeling to the vertical game in Warzone.
CIA Outpost
One of the Aircraft Hangar's in Military Base has now been adapted into a secret facility for the CIA, as the covert operations' organisation has landed in Verdansk 1984.
Survival Camps
Ten rather small Survival Camps have been added into Warzone, although they don't come as a useless addition. The camps are littered throughout the map and will add cover in the open areas of Verdansk 84, adding a nice rotational POI, especially in the end-game.
Warzone Side Events
To celebrate the arrival of some hard-hitting new operators, Warzone and Black Ops Cold War players are now challenged to shed blood sweat and tears in an "80s Action Heroes" event.
The in-game challenges will offer up a range of charms, stickers, Weapon Blueprints, and more, similar to the Hunt For Adler theme that has now concluded.

Baseball Bat
Batterrr-up, as Warzone's latest weapon will undoubtedly knock you out of the park. Bound to be a home run with the Baseball fans and even appeal to the inner hooligan in players, the Baseball Bat melee weapon will be a hard-hitting tool and will add style points to any players' kills.
AMP63
Despite the incredibly overpowered introduction of the Sykov Pistoils which had Warzone feeling completely unbearable, Activision has played devil's advocate and added yet another automatic pistol to the mix. Fortunately, this weapon may be more of a balanced secondary, not landing with 80 round mags.
Ballistic Knife
Having been added to Black Ops Cold War, Treyarch's signature blades have now been added to Warzone. The Ballistic Knife comes with an essence of sweatiness, but can be a lot of fun to use. Expect to see it pop up in the Gulag.

As normal, a range of new maps has been added to Black Ops Cold War, including one fan-favourite remaster.
Standoff
Finally! Standoff is here, looking as beautiful and as rust as we remembered. Much like the addition of Raid, Standoff has all the feel of its original form but with a slight lick of paint. It's as if it never left, and nostalgic fans will reminisce on here for weeks.
Duga (Multi-Team)
As part of a brand-new 30-player game mode, Multi-Team, Duga will act as their playground. The map will play host to ten teams of three, almost like a small battle royale, within Black Ops Cold War.
