Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: April 28th update - everything you need to know

Information surrounding the latest update for Modern Warfare and Warzone has been released from Activision's "This Week in Call of Duty" blog.

After the addition of new Operator, Ronin, and a free Multiplayer weekend for free-to-play Warzone players, this latest update will see a brand-new weapon joining the ever-expanding weapon arsenal, an update to the Gunsmith, a new master camo and much more!

Find full details of what is coming in the update below.

How to Download

For owners of Modern Warfare, players are required to download an additional patch once the main patch has finished installing. Once the main patch is installed, players must download Data Pack 1 in order to access Multiplayer, Spec Ops and the Campaign.

While it is downloading, players will still be able to play Warzone so drop into Verdansk while it downloads.

Remember to reset the game once the data pack has installed then you are good to go!

New Warzone Contract

The "Most Wanted" contract allows you to activate a bounty on your own head to attract enemies to your location. If you manage to survive the time limit, a cash bonus will be awarded.

Gunsmith Customs

The addition of Gunsmith Customs will enable players to create a range of custom weapons using various elements from different blueprints to create a hybrid weapon blueprint that look completely unique.
