Warzone Patch Fixes Custom Loadout Exploit From Season 3 Reloaded

A new Call of Duty: Warzone update has patched a major exploit involving pre-game custom loadouts. Here’s what else changed in Season 3 Reloaded, including events, gear, and player reactions.
Warzone’s latest mid-season refresh didn’t just bring new content—it also brought a game-breaking exploit. Thankfully, Raven Software was quick to respond, rolling out a small update on May 5 that officially patches the issue.
🎯 Loadout Exploit Gets Shut Down
After Season 3 Reloaded dropped on May 1, players discovered a sneaky trick: by dropping their custom loadout in the pre-game lobby, they could pick it up again once the actual match started, giving them a massive edge right out of the gate. In Warzone, where loadouts can make or break a win, this was a serious problem.
As of the May 5 patch, the exploit has been patched—players can no longer drop loadouts in the pre-game lobby. The fix helps restore balance, and Raven Software confirmed the issue was directly tied to the recent update’s backend changes.
🧩 Season 3 Reloaded: What Else Is New?
The Season 3 Reloaded update brought more than just bugs. Here’s a quick rundown of the highlights:
- New Multiplayer Maps – Two fresh maps landed in Black Ops 6.
- Directed Mode – Added for Zombies’ Shattered Veil map.
- High Art Event – Live in both Warzone and Black Ops 6 until May 15, featuring:
- Ladra SMG
- Mini-Rocket conversion kit for the Goblin Mk2
- Tons of cosmetics and themed content
- Ladra SMG
⛓️ Ascenders: Still MIA
Another point of debate has been the return of rooftop ascenders—a feature from Verdansk Season 5 that lets players scale tall buildings quickly. Some players thought they had made a comeback with Season 3 Reloaded, but official patch notes confirmed that ascenders are still absent for now.
While opinions are split, many feel ascenders added a fresh dynamic to gameplay, and their absence continues to be a hot topic.
🌿 High Art Event Backlash
The High Art event hasn’t gone unnoticed—especially its cosmetics. While some players enjoy the wild, psychedelic vibes and unlockables, others feel like the weed-themed content is being overdone.
To top it off, Seth Rogen has joined the operator lineup, which has sparked mixed reactions. Whether it’s a fun surprise or just another gimmick depends on who you ask.
Raven Software’s quick fix to the loadout exploit shows they’re paying attention, even as new content rolls out. But between gameplay bugs, controversial cosmetics, and feature debates, Season 3 Reloaded has been a rollercoaster.
