Call Of Duty: Warzone Update — Small Update With Several Bug Fixes

Call of Duty: War­zone’s recent update includes sev­er­al qual­i­ty-of-life updates, which arrived just a day after Activi­sion announced the delay of Van­guard and War­zone’s Sea­son 2. On top of these bug fix­es, the Katana (melee) weapon received a num­ber of buffs.

Accord­ing to Raven Soft­ware, they fixed an issue with reload ani­ma­tions allow­ing cer­tain weapons to con­tin­u­ous­ly fire, as well as a prob­lem caus­ing Pri­vate Lob­by hosts to crash. There was also a bug mak­ing the menu screen flick­er when join­ing a friend or queue with a par­ty, that’s also been addressed.

Oth­er War­zone improve­ments includ­ed an adjust­ment to a bug that caused the regular/Advanced UAV rewards from Big Game Boun­ty and Top Secret Con­tracts to not trig­ger if the play­er was in a vehi­cle or anti-air gun. More impor­tant­ly, War­zone Pacif­ic is also get­ting col­li­sion issue fix­es with var­i­ous ele­ments across Caldera, mak­ing it hard­er for play­ers to exploit, peek, or shoot through them.

In oth­er Call of Duty news, Phil Spencer recent­ly tweet­ed that the fran­chise would con­tin­ue to be sold on PlaySta­tion, after Microsoft acquired Activi­sion Bliz­zard in a recent $68.7 bil­lion deal. Mean­while, Call of Duty: Van­guard had a patch release yes­ter­day as well, and Sea­son 2 was delayed for both War­zone and Van­guard.
