Warzone Update 1.58 Patch Notes (Official)

GAMEPLAY

Before we jump into the many changes outlined below, we want to share the key pillars that we have focused on for the Season Three Reloaded update. We believe this will help Players understand the design intentions behind all of the changes and how they add up to cohesively improve the core Warzone gameplay loop over the season ahead.

Each of the gameplay changes can be separated into 3 core areas of focus, with an overall emphasis on improved reasons to loot in the mid-game and creating new Player stories:

• More Counters:There are still some very powerful mechanics in Warzone and we need to provide counterplay measures to each gameplay loop for more interesting engagements.
• More Movement:Player rotation opportunities are core to the Warzone experience and we see how much our Players love advanced movement techniques so have expanded this into new avenues.
• More Playtime:Simply put; more time playing, less time spectating. Warzone has always been a leader in second chance mechanics and we wanted to further develop this aspect of Warzone to improve the chances of a successful mid-to-late game regain.

COUNTERPLAY

• New Perk “Serpentine”
  • Reduces incoming damage if the Player is sprinting.

We are bringing in this new Perk from Vanguard that some of our Players may already be familiar with. Our internal playtests highlighted the counter to ranged engagements especially in large open spaces while still beneficial in smaller spaces. Serpentine creates a buffer between finding cover and it provides a boon to Players that rotate often in their engagements. The attacking Player receives clear feedback that their target countered their incoming shots with a Serpentine icon being displayed.

• New Lootable Perks|All Maps & Modes
  • Serpentine
  • Tune Up
  • Tracker
  • Hardline
  • Kill Chain
  • E.O.D.

We have been really happy with the response to Perk Satchels being added to ground loot so we have expanded the list, alongside the inclusion of the new “Serpentine” Perk. We’re also bringing all of them to Rebirth Island.

• New Field Upgrade “Radar Jammer” |All Maps & Modes
  • Players can deploy this Field Upgrade to scramble the Tac Map of enemy Players and prevent airborne Killstreaks from being used in the localized area.
  • Has an effective radius of 125 meters
  • Effect lasts for 45 seconds
  • Susceptible to being hacked by a Player with an Engineer Perk
  • Can be attached to vehicles to become mobile

• New Lootable Loadout Drop Markers|Caldera Modes
  • Ground loot now includes a rare chance to spawn a Loadout Drop Marker

• High Value Loot Zones|Caldera Modes
  • These zones are represented on the Tac Map by a very appropriate “$” sign and will provide the best looting opportunities.

We’ve enjoyed seeing how the addition of this new system has pulled Players into landing at POIs they otherwise wouldn’t have planned to land – so it is now available in Battle Royale game modes. We expect this to be a popular feature, both for promoting early engagement opportunities as well as late-game restock opportunities.

• New Underground Transit System|Caldera Modes
  • New fast travel system with 14 access points, indicated on the Tac Map and minimap by a silver “vault door” symbol.
  • A lighting system will provide intel and help navigate Player decisions.

Warzone has had several Fast Travel systems over its lifetime, everything from Subways to Red Doors. With this new Underground Transit System on Caldera, we have leveraged all the learnings from the previous experiences to create what we believe to be the ultimate method for moving around Caldera quickly.

• New Lootable “Speed Boost” Power-Up|Caldera Modes
  • Grants Players a considerable increase in movement speed.

We’ve added the Speed Boost Power-Up from Clash into core Battle Royale, as we liked the advanced movement plays that it enables. Just like in Clash, this powerup is activated immediately on pickup so use this temporary speed boost wisely.

• New “Occupation Scan” Public Event|Rebirth Island Modes (Except Blood Money & Payload)
  • Any Players standing or crouching while the scan takes place will have their location exposed on the Tac Map for all to see. Players will be informed to go prone prior to the sweep.

Movement represents an opportunity for memorable engagements and encounters. With “Occupation Scan”, we wanted to develop a Public Event where movement – or lack thereof – is core to the experience. This Public Event really brings Lethals and Tacticals like Gas Grenades and Molotovs into consideration – you can use them to flush enemies out of hiding to expose them on the Map.

• Increased Downed Movement Speed | All Maps & Modes
  • Increased the speed at which a Player moves while in the downed state.

We felt the downed movement speed needed a review, primarily to allow Players who get downed a chance to get themselves to a safer space to allow for a revive. This is a small change on the surface that has allowed for more interesting outcomes during internal playtests.

• Stim Adjustments |All Maps & Modes|In-Season
  • Slide modifier has been reduced
    • The slide modifier was simply too extreme. While we believe that sliding movement should be buffed when a Player is using a Stim, it still needs to fit within limits.
  • Added a Weapon damage (received) interruption effect
    • If a Player receives Weapon damage, the healing effect will be interrupted. The previous mechanic allowed Players to repeatedly heal themselves while actively taking damage – which is not the intent of this tool.
