War, the artful outdated bugger, has modified but once more. When you queue up for “quad” mode in Call Of Duty: Warzone, you’ll now must battle (royale) it out amongst 199 different gamers. That’s 48 further, and Warzone’s map actually appears large enough to accommodate them. The solo, duo and trio modes all nonetheless solely go as much as 150.
The “Season Four Reloaded” replace has additionally chucked in a brand new contract, a sniper rifle, and a separate spotter’s scope merchandise that permits you to peek at distant hills with out having to fret about glint providing you with away. There’s an upcoming new mode the place somebody will get to have a go together with a mini-gun and placed on fancy “Juggernaut” pants, too. I feel. These are some very complicated patch notes.
We’ll get to that, however first: I just like the sound of those new Supply Run Contracts. When you choose one up, you’ve acquired to leg it to a chosen Buy Station, and “reach it within the time limit to get a discount on Buy Station purchases”. That’s a neat reward, and extra attention-grabbing than plain outdated money. It’s good that the builders preserve pondering up new instructions to take Contracts in, and that they seem to have now decided that that is one case the place extra is best.
The new sniper rifle is the Rytec AMR, billed as “one of the deadliest semi-automatic anti-material rifles an Operator can get their hands on”. You can apparently “use the included picatinny rail to Gunsmith it out to the situation at hand”, in case you can parse that and occur to already know what a picatinny rail does. The Gunsmith is the place you set further attachments on weapons however they are saying this one is already included, so I’m baffled.
The patch notes additionally discuss in regards to the “Juggernaut Royale Mode” as if it’s gone reside with the remainder of this, however it doesn’t at the moment seem alongside the remainder of the modes. This apparently entails discovering “one of the airdropped care packages to become the Juggernaut and use the mini-gun to attack enemies and vehicles”. Once one Juggernaut is distributed to the Gulag, one other Juggernaut swimsuit will get dropped. The Juggernaut swimsuit is at the moment a killstreak reward in regular multiplayer that permits you to use a particular weapon and absorb a great deal of injury, however it’s not clear if that is precisely the identical or a tweaked model. It appears just a little odd for an entire mode to revolve round this, and the replace notes are badly written sufficient to make me marvel if that is really an addition to the traditional battle royale mode. Nobody on Reddit is speaking about it and I haven’t had an opportunity to play a full game but so actually, who is aware of.
There are additionally bug fixes, and new stuff for plain outdated Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer I haven’t talked about right here, so do take a look at these patch notes. A extra condensed model may be discovered here.
“Gunsmith it out to the situation at hand”. Good grief.
