Call Of Duty: Warzone Update Brings Back Classic Loadout Drops

gamespot.com:

Call of Duty: Warzone's latest update is now live on February 3, and while the patch notes are pretty light this week, players will likely be happy with a major change to loadout drops. This weekly update also includes new playlists and some bug fixes.

However, this loadout change only affects the standard battle royale modes. According to Raven Software's patch notes, Vanguard Royale playlists are excluded from this change, so players will still need to wait until after the free loadout arrives for the whole lobby in those exclusive playlists.
