On top of that there a new raid, new Modern Warfare 2 maps and modes and ton more. So let's take a look at when the Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded update is happening and what it's bringing. 

When does Warzone 2 season 2 Reloaded start?

Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded starts March 15, according to Activision. While there's no time attached to the update they've nearly always go live around 9am PT / 12pm ET. So assuming nothing goes wrong or gets delayed, expect the Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded update to start then.

What are the new guns in Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded?

The main new gun in Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded is the Tempus Torrent, a new Marksman Rifle promising a two-shot elimination if you can land your hits at mid range. It's built on the M4 platform, so most players should have a range of attachments unlocked and ready to go. 

To unlock the Tempus Torrent you need to get 25 Double Kills with Marksman Rifles, or buy a relevant store bundle.

There's a new Shuriken weapon

The shuriken is a new piece of lethal equipment that trades extra ammo against not making them retrievable once thrown. While it's already in Resurgence game modes, it will be available for custom Loadouts "after Season 02".

There's a new Raid Episode 02 which doesn't need an assignment to play

The new Episode 02 Raid will see three players fighting their way to climb the silo of a ballistic missile to get the payload. Described as an "intricate facility littered with traps", this new three player raid doesn't need anyone to complete an assignment to access it, unlike the last raid. Players will unlock a Bad Boonie Skin for Captain Price when they complete it.
