Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 Reloaded was another huge update for both titles, bringing new weapons like the SOA Subverter and the Bunker Buster Killstreak. The second half of the season is also continuing the trend of big crossovers, following the major Walking Dead collab.

The devs pulled back the curtain on the Warhammer 40,000 crossover that brings exclusive Operator skins and a new event to the game.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Warhammer 40K: For the Emperor event in MW3 and Warzone, including all the free rewards on offer.
