The Reloaded update launches today and includes a new core multiplayer map, a new marksman rifle, Atomgrad Raid episode 2 and event camo challenges, among other things.

The publisher also teases a St Patrick's Day event which will involve a rainbow on the map.

"You never know what you might find at the end of the rainbow… but you’ve got "one-shot" to find out if luck is on your side in Al Mazrah," the teaser reads.

The full patch notes are as follows:

New Path of the Ronin Challenges

Forge a new path with all new challenges to unlock new camos, including Winds of Ash. Complete all ten challenges to earn another new camo for every weapon — Bowing Blossoms — as well as a golden Charm that represents your dedication to following the Path of the Ronin.

Saint Patrick's Day

You never know what you might find at the end of the rainbow… but you’ve got "one-shot" to find out if luck is on your side in Al Mazrah!

Atomgrad Episode 02 New!

Reminder: play Episode 01 first to avoid spoilers!

We find Price, Gaz and Farah where we left them at the end of Episode 01 – and Atomgrad's story will pick-up there…

Complete Raid Episode 02 to unlock the "Bad Boonie" Operator Skin for Captain Price, and check out the new Raid Bundle for even more of the Captain's looks. This bundle also includes the fastest way to level up your kits for success in the Raid.

No Assignment Necessary

As part of the Season 02 Reloaded update, anyone who owns Modern Warfare II will be able to access Raid Episode 01 and Raid Episode 02. There is no Raid Assignment required for access to this tactical team-based experience that continues the story of Task Force 141.

Need a Squad?

Don't forget to use the Party Finder feature in the Lobby if you need teammates for the Raid.

Audio

PC users will have an audio update allowing Players to select stereo or surround outputs. This option will default to stereo if not set. We have been investigating clips which appear to only include the front left and right channels, when the output on some PCs may default to surround – resulting in missing channels of audio.

Gyro Aiming Ratcheting

A "Gyro Ratcheting" setting has been added in the Control [387 articles]" href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/games/control/">Controller category (Advanced tab) for Season 02 Reloaded. This option improves the Player experience by allowing a Player to disable manually the Gyro function by pressing a specific button, that can be chosen by the Player among several options, to be able to reposition the controller as desired. Players looking for more controls regarding the Gyro Aiming experience should customize this setting.

Inverted Flash

An "Inverted Flash" option has been added as an accessibility option in the Interface category for Season 02 Reloaded with two values: Off (default behavior) and On (added behavior). This option allows to change the color of the flash effect of the flashbang tactical grenade from white to black. We recommend adjusting this option for Players who feel discomfort when affected by the full white screen effect of the flashbang tactical grenade. Duration and visual are at parity between the two values of the option, providing no competitive advantage.
