Call of Duty: Warzone releases new patch notes for Season Three update

Dimapur, May 7 (EMN): The latest Call of Duty: Warzone Season Three May 7 patch notes are in and it brings significant changes to ground loot shotguns and nerfs to some assault rifles.

According to the official patch notes, the Streetsweeper‘s ground loot availability was changed because its “wide availability fostered a dynamic where passive play was incentivized and rewarded.” Raven Software also fixed some map locations in Verdansk that allowed players to reach out-of-bounds areas.

Along with changes to the ground loot and additional bug fixes, the latest patch also brings nerfs to some of the assault rifles in the game, especially the CR-56 AMAX and the FARA 83.

Raven Software insists that the changes to the weapons are part of its ongoing effort to reach a ‘balance homeostasis’ by addressing the ‘Time To Kill‘ (TTK) of a certain weapon.

The company has called on their players to “consider these changes not as targeted attacks, but rather as part of a larger initiative to raise the skill ceiling.”

Here are the ground loot changes to the shotguns that spawn on both Verdansk and Rebirth Island in Call of Duty: Warzone.

Streetsweeper

• Common variant removed from ground loot
• Uncommon variant removed from ground loot
• Rare variant removed from Supply Boxes
• Epic variant removed from Supply Boxes

Hauer 77

• Common variant added to ground loot
• Uncommon variant added to ground loot

BUG FIXES

• Fixed additional map locations in Verdansk that allowed players to reach out-of-bounds areas. This is on top of the locations that we addressed last week.
• Fixed a bug causing Player models to initially load as low resolution at the start of a BR match.
• Fixed a bug with the Cold War AK-47, FARA 83, XM4, and RPD where they were having their ADS Move Speed and Firing Move Speeds decreased with the Tactical and SAS Combat/Spetsnaz Stocks rather than increased.
