Call Of Duty Warzone 2.0 Patch Notes: Armor Buff, Menu Fixes

Call Of Duty Warzone 2.0 Patch Notes: Armor Buff, Menu Fixes

Call of Duty’s latest patch is here, and as usual, it impacts both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and the free-to-play battle royale Warzone 2.0. The patch decreases the power of armor-piercing ammunition and revamps some of the game’s menus to make things easier to navigate.

As a whole, this patch is mostly focused on bug fixes. It tackles multiple issues related to content unlocks, from gunsmith upgrades to battle pass progression, as well as a bevy of audio problems that led to confusing callouts. It also added an audio cue for the Jailer entering the Gulag in Warzone 2.0, so you’ll have a better idea of when that happens.

Now Playing: Call Of Duty: Warzone 2 Review

As mentioned above, the only real balance change in this patch is the removal of the damage multiplier from armor-piercing ammunition. This would seem to be a pretty major nerf, so if you’ve relied on that against armored opponents, adjust your expectations accordingly. The developers also removed Counter UAV and Tactical Cameras from the Warzone buy station.

There’s no indication yet whether or not this patch deals with the invisible player problem that Call of Duty players have been reporting for a few days now. Overall, Warzone 2.0 has been a big success for Activision Blizzard, notching 25 million players in less than a week. In our Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 review, our critic S.E. Doster called Warzone 2.0’s new additions a good step forward for the franchise.
