02/13/2024 12:46 pm EST

The latest update for Season 2 of Call of Duty: Warzone has been released. This past week, Season 2 finally kicked off and brought an injection of zombie-related content to Warzone. Notably, this resulted in Rick Grimes and Michonne from The Walking Dead appearing in Warzone and MW3 as new skins that players could look to purchase. Now, a new update for the ever-popular multiplayer shooter has rolled out for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, and it brings some very welcome overhauls. 

For the most part, this new Call of Duty: Warzone update for Season 2 brings some quality-of-life improvements. These changes are mainly tied to match timing, armor and ammunition stowing, and gas stations appearing on the map. Beyond this, Activision has also made some key balance adjustments to certain SMGs, LMGs, and Sniper Rifles in Warzone. Finally, this patch also comes with the usual slate of bug fixes, which should make Warzone a bit better to play across the board. 

You can get a look at the full new patch notes for the latest Call of Duty: Warzone update attached at the bottom of the page.
