All ranked restrictions in Verdansk in Call of Duty Warzone Season 3 Reloaded update

Image via Activision Verdansk is back — but not without some tight rules. If you're planning to dive into Warzone Season 3 Reloaded Ranked Play, you'll want to know exactly what's banned before you queue up. Activision has rolled out a fresh set of restrictions that aim to level the playing field — and yes, a bunch of fan-favorite tools didn't make the cut. — ModernWarzone (@ModernWarzone) Weapon Restrictions: Say Goodbye to MW Arsenal First things first — all Modern Warfare weapons are off the table. That's right. Whether you had a perfect loadout or not, it's time to rethink your strategy. Also restricted: by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scarlett Johansson, 40, Shows Off Her Real Size In A New Vacation Photos 33 Bridges Undo Blade Launcher Goblin Mk2 7.62 Mini-Rocket Conversion Why? Probably to cut down on exploit-heavy builds and keep the gunplay tight and balanced. Attachment Restrictions: Mods that Made Things Messy Some powerful mods didn't survive the patch either. The devs are clearly dialing back overpowered setups, and the following got the boot: All Thermal Optics Drill Charge, High Explosive, and Standard Launchers CHF Barrel Rapid Fire Mod Dragon's Breath Mod If you were hoping to blind enemies, burn them, or spam explosives, you can't do that in Ranked. Gameplay Mechanics: What You Can't Do Anymore Beyond weapons and attachments, several mechanics have been turned off completely to keep Ranked Play skill-focused. Here's what's gone: One-shot headshots (yes, even snipers) Birdseye, Specialist, and Bandolier perks Ammo Satchel Big Game Bounty contract Train Recon contract High Value Loot Zones Also, no Cargo Trucks (Big Bertha) — which means less vehicle cheese and more gunfights. Comms & Interactions: Silence is Golden Ranked Play just got quieter — intentionally. To reduce unfair callouts and troll behavior: Proximity Chat – Disabled Text Chat – Disabled Live Pings – Disabled Emotes – Disabled Oh, and no throwing rocks in the Gulag. Guess we'll have to just… wait. Why the Restrictions? These changes are meant to keep things competitive. Ranked Play is about skill — not broken loadouts, surprise one-shots, or wild utility stacking. By trimming the excess, the devs are trying to recreate that pure, sweaty BR experience we love to hate (and grind) Final Thoughts Verdansk may feel nostalgic, but Ranked Play isn't here to let you coast. These restrictions tighten up the experience, so make sure your loadouts are compliant, your plays are sharp, and your team is ready. Drop in smart — or get dropped out fast.
