Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare’s season six patch is just hours away and the developers at Infinity Ward have released the patch notes for the big update.
While season six notably adds both Farah and Nikolai as new Operators and opens up the underground subway stations in Verdansk in Warzone, the update also includes some much-needed bug fixes and balance passes.
Warzone players will be happy or upset to know that the Origin-12 and C4 have received nerfs. The shotgun, which has become problematic in recent weeks, has had its close-range damage nerfed. Slug shotgun rounds have had their damage increased, though.
For C4, there will now be a small delay when performing a quick detonation and a beep will play when it’s triggered. Initial throw velocity has also been nerfed by 30 percent.
The full patch notes can be found below:
