COD Warzone May 27 Patch Notes

John McClane Warzone

All patch notes have been taken from Raven Software’s site for Warzon Season 3 updates.

Gameplay Changes In COD Warzone

  • Cargo Truck spawn rates for Verdansk Solo BR mode have been reduced to five (static) from a range of 16 to 20 - Cargo Trucks are powerful and versatile ways to navigate the map, and having up to 20 of them in any given game made the final few circles problematic in solos modes. By reducing the number to five, it’s much more manageable to destroy them.

Bug Fixes In COD Warzone

  • Fixed additional map locations in Verdansk that allowed players to reach out-of-bounds areas.
  • Fixed additional collision issues with various elements across Verdansk allowing players to exploit/peek/shoot through them.
  • Fixed a bug where vehicles could down or kill squad mates.
  • Fixed an issue in Nakatomi Plaza where the vault access denied audio could be heard throughout the entire building.
  • Fixed a bug preventing the Ballistic Knife Camouflage skins from unlocking upon completing their respective requirements.
  • Fixed a bug where the Swat 5mw Laser Sight for Sniper Rifles was not displaying Aiming Stability as a pro.
  • Fixed the incorrect labeling of Sniper Rifle Echo as Sniper Rifle Delta.
