Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 co-developer Beenox reveals a new setting that will make flashbang grenades a little bit easier on the player's eyes. The minor but much-requested feature is part of the patch releasing on March 15, as part of Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2's Season 2 Reloaded.

Activision subsidiary Beenox is known mainly for PC ports and assisting other studios such as Call of Duty developers Raven, Treyarch, and Infinity Ward. Its recent work includes the remaster of the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 campaign and assisting with the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 remaster, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, and Raven and Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. It was also one of several studios to assist with Infinity Ward's new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, from which Call of Duty: Warzone 2 spun off.
