Call of Duty Warzone gets new 1.63 update (September 2)

Popular Battle royale game, Call of Duty: Warzone, just got a new update and it brings much needed quality of life adjustments, bug fixes and, most importantly, nerfs to the Serpentine perk.

The biggest change is the nerf to the Serpentine perk. The Serpentine is now only active while a player is in Tactical Sprint. It will interesting to see how players will react to the nerf and what other options they could move on to next.

Aside from the Serpentine nerf, the update also brings changes to Operation Last Call, Supply Box UAV and Gas Mask.

Given below are the complete patch notes to the new Call of Duty Warzone 1.62 update.

MODES

Operation: Last Call Adjustments

This limited-time, Heroes-versus-Villains-themed Mode is currently live and available for all Players to experience until September 14th. We’ve made a couple of small adjustments that we think will help improve the experience:

• Event tokens now reward 200 points, up from 100 points
  • This applies to Event tokens acquired in other Modes as well
• Bombs and Defuse Kits have been reenabled in the Buy Station

GAMEPLAY

• Supply Box UAV Adjustment
  • Removed Resurgence Supply Boxes from appearing on Supply Box UAV scans to focus the scan on the best Supply Boxes.

• Gas Mask Adjustments
  • Gas Masks will now appear in the first slot of the Quick Inventory Menu for easier access during engagements for players using the Manual Gas Mask toggle.
  • Improved Manual Gas Mask text in the settings menu to better detail how players manually equip the Gas Mask.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed additional collision issues with various elements across Caldera/Fortune's Keep allowing Players to exploit/peek/shoot through them.
• Fixed an issue causing the idle/unlooted sound effect of Event tokens to be louder than intended.
• Fixed an issue with Operation: Last Call causing the incorrect victory banner to appear if a team wins during overtime.
• Fixed an issue preventing Field Upgrades and Equipment from being destroyed when placed in lava.
• Fixed an issue causing the Serpentine Perk icon to appear even if the Player was not under the effects of it.

PERKS

Perk Adjustments

• Serpentine
  • Serpentine is now only active while in Tactical Sprint.

We’ve updated Serpentine to now only be in effect during Tactical Sprint instead of regular Sprint. We expect that this change, along with the existing hard counters that are available in “Frangible - Disabling” and the VG Gunperk “Disable” will result in both a more consistent engagement experience and encourage further exploration of weapon builds.
