While the Warzone meta remains most chaotic, the developers have made a new balancing, further weakening assault rifles.
The least we can say is that since the Season 4 Reloaded kicked off and the update that followed, the daily life of players on Warzone has not been a smooth ride. Between brightness issues on Caldera, the frustrating bug that affected gas masks, not to mention the ever-so-capricious battle royale meta, players’ patience has been sorely tested.
As the Warzone community sounded the alarm on social media, the developers rolled out a new patch, the second since the Season 4 Reload kicked off, to try to remedy these various issues.
