Warzone Season 1 Is Live: Hajin, Zodiac, Default Tac Sprint, Patch Notes
Warzone and Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 are live. Servers flipped at midnight ET on November 6 (9 PM PT November 5), matching the Activision Support seasons page and the official Call of Duty Season 1 blog. Client builds show as MW4 / Warzone 1.111 with Multiplayer Pack 1.003, per MP1st's Update 1.111 write-up.
We already covered the release-time window, the Season 1 roadmap, and the full intel package. This post is the launch-day patch digest: what shipped, what changed, and what to close before you queue.
Warzone: Hajin, Zodiac, and full MW4 integration
Season 1 completes the Warzone / MW4 merge. Per Activision Support and the official patch notes:
- Hajin — new Battle Royale map set in Korea, with 13 POIs and dynamic weather.
- Zodiac — new Resurgence map built around the DRC Advanced Systems drone HQ.
- Level reset / Prestige across Multiplayer, DMZ, and Warzone.
- 30+ MW4 weapons carry into Warzone, plus Season 1 Battle Pass guns.
- Launch modes: BR, Resurgence (including Casual), Rally Point on Zodiac (20 players), Massive Resurgence, and Loaded Resurgence.
New kit includes a Zipline Launcher, a Grabber Drone, and interactive fuel barrels / pushable cover. For the weapon track itself, see our Season 1 unlock tiers guide.
Default Tactical Sprint and QoL combat changes
Activision Support confirms Tactical Sprint is now the default for every Operator, with a slightly shortened duration. You can also drag allies while reviving, and Activision lists improved visibility plus footstep audio tuning. We flagged the Tac Sprint shift earlier in Warzone Tactical Sprint default for Season 1.
Battle Pass launch weapons are the Cronen Osprey assault rifle and the CSG-35 SMG — both live on the Season 1 track today.
Last-gen Warzone ends; Warzone Agent blocked
With Season 1, PS4 and Xbox One Warzone support ends. Progression carries over on a linked Activision account, per Activision Support.
Anti-cheat also hardens: starting Season 1, the lobby-shopping third-party app Warzone Agent is blocked. Close it or lose Multiplayer access; circumvention can lead to bans, according to MP1st and the official patch notes.
MW4 Multiplayer, DMZ, and Performance Mode
On the MW4 side, Season 1 adds maps Backstab, Canyon, and a reimagined Shoot House, plus modes Grind and Drop Zone. DMZ opens the X01 black site. MP1st also notes Performance Mode 120Hz is now available on all PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles with 120Hz displays, with or without VRR.
What's next
Season 1 is live now — download Update 1.111, close Warzone Agent if you still have it running, and pick Hajin BR or Zodiac Resurgence. Mid-season still holds Verdansk and Rebirth Island returns; we'll cover those as Activision locks dates. Stick with the roadmap and Season 1 intel for the rest of the calendar.
