Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 is almost here after the season was delayed two weeks into April. While there are new maps coming to multiplayer and a new Battle Pass with Operators like Mace and Hudson, the big draw of the new season is the long-awaited, highly-anticipated return of Verdansk.
But the classic Warzone map isn’t the only thing returning to the game after a long hiatus. Several weapons are making a comeback from the OG Warzone days, including the CR-56 and the HDR Sniper Rifle. But the first weapon you can unlock before even opening the new Battle Pass is the fan-favorite Kilo 141 Assault Rifle.
Season 3 starts in two phases. First, on Wednesday April 2nd all the new Season 3 multiplayer content goes live, including new maps and modes. Then, on Thursday April 3rd, Verdansk returns to Warzone. On Wednesday, Warzone servers go dark.
But you should still login to the free-to-play Battle Royale game if you have Black Ops 6. Doing so on Wednesday will automatically unlock the Kilo 141 AR. You can spend Wednesday leveling up the gun and then drop into Verdansk with it equipped to your favorite loadout.
You might also find the Kilo 141 as ground loot on Thursday. There’s a big change coming to loot as well: The oldschool “floating loot” returns from the original game. Now, items won’t be on the ground or on shelves, but rather floating a few inches above the ground, making them a lot easier to spot. When you open one of the classic loot crates, items will pop out and float for you to easily examine. This is a step away from realism and back to the way Warzone was when it first launched five years ago.

The Kilo 141 will almost certainly rise through the ranks as one of the most-used new guns in the game, though that depends a lot on balancing. The CR-56 and HDR Sniper will also likely be top picks.
Tons of changes are coming to Warzone this week including nerfs to omnimovement, sound effects changes and more measures to counter the cheaters. Will it be enough to return Warzone to its former glory? We shall see. See you in Verdansk.
