A new update is coming very soon to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone. Season 5 kicked off earlier this month, but now we’re about to enter Season 5: Reloaded. The update rolls out on August 25, 2020, but a few days later a new event will start. That’s the Games of Summer event, and it will have players competing in Trials, and representing their countries in a global competition. And as you should expect from any in-game event, there are goodies to be had.
Modern Warfare Games of Summer Guide
Games of Summer will be running from August 28 to September 7, 2020. The competition here is a series of free, single-player Trials, available in addition to Modern Warfare’s normal Trials. These ones don’t require tickets to play, and can be played as many times as you want for the event’s duration. In addition to the rewards you get for score, there are also point values assigned to the medals you can earn to represent your country on the leaderboard.

Infinity Ward has laid out what each Trial is, what the medal time requirements are, and what the individual Trial’s loadout is. Check that information out below:
Trial One: Gun Course (Starts August 28) on Custom Gun Course Map
- Description: Make your way through the course as fast as possible while clearing all enemy targets and avoiding civilian casualties.

Trial Five: Marksman Challenge Starts (September 1) on Custom Marksman Challenge Map

Again, you can jump into these Trials as many times as you like, so don’t be afraid to suck a little at first until you can practice up to that gold medal. Each medal will net players a one-time reward for reaching that score, and if you get the gold on your first try you’ll get the silver and bronze rewards at the same time. After that, grabbing medals will get you points for your country, and that leaderboard updates once per day.
Just for participating, every player will receive a Games of Summer Cup weapon charm. If you get the gold medal in all five Trials, you’ll receive the Legendary Assault Rifle Juliet Blueprint. As far as the overall best country goes, Infinity Ward hasn’t yet stated at the time of this writing if the top countries will be rewarded, or if bragging rights are the main trophy.
