Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Warzone, and Warzone Mobile players were in for a treat when Season 5 Reloaded dropped. The update arrived with a crossover that felt like a match made in heaven for fans of gothic action: a new operator bundle based on The Crow film starring Bill Skarsgård. The film was set to premiere on August 23, and the bundle landed just one day after Season 5 Reloaded kicked off. That timing was no accident; it gave the community plenty of new toys to play with while the movie hype was still building.

At the heart of the update was the Tracer Pack: The Crow Operator Bundle. Players who picked it up gained access to two distinct operator skins named The Crow and Mono-Crowmatic. The bundle did not stop there, though. It included the Wrong Made Right finishing move, the Inked Vengeance Kastov 762 and Hollow Gaze Lockwood 680 weapon blueprints, the Vengeance Unleashed calling card, the Brilliantly Broken and Dead Man Walking loading screens, the Put the Wrong Things Right and Inked Pair large decals, the Black Blood emblem, and a Katana weapon charm. To put it simply, the pack was loaded with bells and whistles.

A quick breakdown of the bundle makes it easy to see why it grabbed attention:

For a franchise that has dabbled in everything from horror icons to pop-culture megastars, The Crow felt like a natural fit. The character’s brooding, vengeance-driven personality translated well into an operator, and the black-and-white Mono-Crowmatic skin added a stylish twist that stood out in the pre-match lobby. Completionists who wanted every single item in the pack had to decide whether to open their wallets, but the sheer volume of extras made it a tempting grab.

Season 5 Reloaded was not just about cosmetics. Multiplayer fans had every reason to dive back in. A new version of the Stash House 6v6 map called Ink House made its debut, featuring a vibrant cel-shaded look that gave the familiar layout a fresh, comic-book feel. The playlist also added Fishfection, a new variant of the Infected-based game mode, alongside Paintball, where every weapon could deal one-shot kills. On top of that, the fan-favorite Cyber Attack mode from 2019's Modern Warfare made a comeback, giving veterans a welcome throwback.

Beyond the gameplay, the Season 5 Reloaded launch also brought a major quality-of-life upgrade to the Call of Duty HQ app. Warzone was no longer a mandatory download for Modern Warfare 3 players, which helped shrink the storage footprint considerably. That was a big deal for anyone who had been fighting the constant battle for free space on their console or PC. More changes were expected later in the year ahead of the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

At the time, Season 6 was expected to be the final season of Modern Warfare 3. Still, Season 5 Reloaded had a healthy run through mid-September 2024, and the Call of Duty NEXT event on August 28 was poised to shine a light on Black Ops 6 and Warzone. With Black Ops 6 slated to launch on October 25, 2024, the franchise was clearly gearing up for a new chapter. For players who missed the crossover or are looking back from 2026, The Crow bundle remains a memorable slice of Call of Duty's ever-expanding collaboration lineup.
