Warzone S4 Reloaded: Nick Cage, Fortune's Keep & new modes
Quick answer
Warzone's Season 4 Reloaded mid-season update is one of the busiest of the year: playable Nicolas Cage via the 'Uncaged' event (through July 16), the return of Fortune's Keep in Resurgence, the Squad Gun Game mode, the return of Champion's Quest, new weapons (AN-94, Executioner's Duet melee) and weapon balancing (MK35 ISR and VX Compact buffed).
Warzone's Season 4 Reloaded mid-season update is one of the busiest of the year. Here's what was officially added, no filler. Page updated July 6, 2026.
Playable Nicolas Cage (the "Uncaged" event)
The Uncaged event, from June 25 to July 16, 2026, unlocks a playable Nicolas Cage Operator and skin via a two-track Event Pass (free and premium). It also grants the season's new weapon, the AN-94 assault rifle, and the Executioner's Duet melee.
Fortune's Keep returns
The Fortune's Keep map is back in the Resurgence Casual rotation, with new points of interest and reworked pathways that shake up engagements.
New modes: Squad Gun Game & Champion's Quest
- Squad Gun Game: ten squads of three fight across a rotation of Rebirth Island, Haven's Hollow and Fortune's Keep; the first to cycle through all ten weapons wins.
- Champion's Quest returns: a multi-step objective chain (transport a radioactive isotope, recover a hard drive, escort a vehicle) for a big reward.
- From July 9 to 13, the Buy Back Quads Weekend LTM.
New weapons & balancing
On the meta side, the patch buffs the MK35 ISR (more damage and medium range) and the VX Compact (range and velocity), plus attachment tweaks across several guns. Notable gameplay change: you can no longer loot Supply Boxes deep in the gas.
