Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone players have been faced with a new challenge since the launch of Season 01 Reloaded – and this month, Infinity Ward stepped up to the plate by releasing an update that addressed some nagging issues. Aside from the annoying loadout issue, the Battle Royale phenomenon is also being addressed.
Not only do players get more Buy Stations, but there’s now less chance for multiple circles to appear in battle royale mode due to its reduced occurrence from 33% down to 15%. Players can now experience the improved bullet spread of The Basilisk and increased accuracy when aiming down sights.
But the most important part is that players can now rest assured knowing any saved Blueprints during Private Matches will remain safe thanks to these improvements! Below you can find the complete changelog for December 19.
To guess, this would be the last update for this year, and the next big update will probably arrive after the holidays.
