Whitley buffs, Type 11 buffs, and huge Stim nerfs.
The May 26 update makes some much-needed adjustments to Call of Duty: Warzone, and here’s the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch. Warzone Pacific Season 3 Reloaded went live this week, bringing new transit stations to Caldera, adding the H4 Blixen SMG to the arsenal, and making multiple changes to weapon balancing.
In true Warzone fashion, this update also broke a few things. The new H4 Blixen SMG was listed under the wrong name, some challenges were not tracking properly, and of course, there was another new problem with Stims. Thankfully, Raven Software has acted quickly, and this patch addresses most of the issues that popped up with the release of Season 3 Reloaded.
