Call of Duty Warzone has entered the final season of Vanguard with Season 5 Reloaded. After nearly three years of exciting action-filled experience across Verdansk and Caldera, The Last Stand will be not only the final season of Vanguard but of Warzone as well.
The game launched as a free-to-play battle royal alternative for the 2019 Modern Warfare and became an instant hit. After Modern Warfare, it was integrated with 2020's Black Ops Cold War and 2021's Vanguard. With Warzone 2.0 set to launch soon alongside Modern Warfare II, the original game is coming to an end of its life cycle.
With that being said, let's look at the patch notes for Season 5 Reloaded Last Stand.
Call of Duty Warzone Season 5 Reloaded Last Stand Patch Notes
Modes
Greatest Hits of the Year
To see out the Season, we’re excited to be bringing back a wealth of classics and fan-favorite game modes. But first… some ground rules:
- Playlist rotations will occur once per week.
- A variant of Plunder will be available every week.
- Fortune’s Keep and Rebirth Island will also be present every week, with only the squad sizes rotating.
- There will be a focus in prioritizing Fortune’s Keep for all squad sizes to best support those practicing for the upcoming CDL tournament!
We will also be improving support for our “Solo” Players, with a wealth of variety to offer. We heard from our Solo community that they felt under-serviced in terms of Solo Game Modes so wanted to better expand the availability and choice of this squad size;
- Battle Royale Solos will cycle through different variants each week:
- Buy Back Solos
- Battle Royale Solos
- Champion of Caldera Solos
- Fortunes Keep and Rebirth Island will always have Resurgence Solos available on both maps at the same time.
Regarding the “Greatest Hits” LTMs, Players can expect to enjoy the following appearing in rotation throughout the remainder of the season as we move away from daily rotations and back to weekly rotations:
- Rebirth
- Rebirth Blood Money
- Rebirth Payload (In-Season)
- Caldera
- Caldera Iron Trials
- Caldera Resurgence
- Golden Plunder
- Clash
- Champion of Caldera
- Battle Royale Buy Backs
- Sticks & Stones (In-Season)
Be sure to also keep an eye out for a surprise or two in the coming weeks as well!
CDL Fortunes Keep Resurgence Trios
We are excited to support the upcoming Fortune’s Keep Resurgence Trios CDL tournament. We will always have Fortune’s Keep Trios in the active Playlist to offer a place for Players to practice for the $100k tournament!
The only major change in this “CDL” variant is that the Mercenaries “Cash Extraction” Public Event has been disabled.
Caldera Mini-Royale
As part of our “Greatest Hits” outro, we are bringing “Mini-Royale” to Caldera for the first time. This high-intensity, high-time-to-action mode will be a perfect note to end the season on.
Rebirth Resurgence Supreme
Resurgence Supreme is what the team at Beenox considers the perfect version of the fan-favorite Rebirth Resurgence Mode with all new rules:
- We’ve increased the tension...
- The Resurgence Countdown is a little longer
- Players have a slight increase of core health to 200 HP.
- Getting an elimination now shows enemy squad locations as a ping on the mini-map for a longer period of time.
- Players now have more control over the Resurgence Countdown...
- Actions now reduce the Countdown twice as fast.
- Avenging a squad mate will greatly reduce the Countdown.
- We’ve crafted ‘Supreme’ Weapons...
- The ground loot brings back even more fan-favorite Weapons.
- The lowest rarity is Epic.
- Players will deploy with iconic and powerful Weapons.
- All Weapons will have the most legendary skins that Warzone has to offer.
We hope this Mode will be a fun and challenging experience for everyone as having a Loadout isn’t as important as it normally is. May the best team win!

A Message from Butcher
With the final Season Five update comes a new cinematic outro from Butcher when you load into Warzone.
“Where has he been?”, you may ask. Well all we know is that he never left the island, but he has seen a LOT - and now it’s time to exfil as this journey isn’t finished yet…
“Warzone Stories” Calling Cards
As we conclude Season Five, we want to reflect on and immortalize a few fond stories that have had the community talking.
The following Calling cards are available to everyone for free from day one as a thank you to the community for sharing in these fun and memorable moments:
- Warzone Stories: King Grau!
- The meta of all metas, the Grau 5.56 (MW) is one of the all-time great Weapons. Let’s celebrate its legacy as the true AR king that shall not be forgotten, or dethroned.
- Warzone Stories: Cracked Meta!
- A meta remembered for varying reasons *ahem* is the “cracked” DMR 14 (BOCW) from the second year of Warzone. If you’re still a DMR 14 (BOCW) demon, then may this Calling Card represent you well.
- Warzone Stories: Eagle Child!
- We loved this Reddit story. Whether you think it’s “Ego Challenge” or “Eagle Child”, we want you to feel represented either way.
- Warzone Stories: Big Fish!
- Is it a mammal, or is it a real big fish? *Spoiler alert* Of course it’s a mammal, but we wanted those who are grossly misinformed to still feel represented.
- Warzone Stories: Pest Control!
- We’ve all been there: Rebirth Island, Grandma’s house, there’s a rat hiding in the darkest corner possible. Show your pest control capabilities with this special Calling Card that is sure to put fear into every Rose Operator for a hundred miles.
- Warzone Stories: Swap-Seat-Snipe!
- We have seen some absolutely incredible content come from planes, with one of the most impressive being the wealth of snipes from the passenger seat. Equip this Calling Card while sniping from 1,000ft up to show your opponents just how calculated it was.
