Call of Duty: Warzone update reduces player count, adds fast travel and new perk — full patch notes
It’s a big week for developer Raven Software. Not only did its QA team just form the first major video game union, but the studio also released the mid-season update for Call of Duty: Warzone. Among the changes are a reduced player count on Caldera, a new fast travel system to get around the island, and the addition of a new weapon, the H4 Blixen SMG.
As Raven explained on the Call of Duty blog, direct changes to Caldera have been made to give players “more counters, more movement, [and] more playtime.” A new player count of 120 will certainly do that by thinning out the crowd ahead of the actual match. Furthermore, the underground transit system can zip you between points of interest on the island. Certain stations connect to one another, so you can’t freely fast travel anywhere, but it’s still sure to shake up the meta.
Additional movement buffs include the new Serpentine perk, borrowed from Call of Duty: Vanguard. It reduces damage taken while sprinting, which you’re probably already doing most of the time anyway. All of this also comes into play in a new mode, called Champion of Caldera. It’s an aggressive mode where kills automatically refill health, equipment, and ammo. Check out the complete patch notes below. There are tons of tweaks, bug fixes, and weapon balances.
