Call of Duty: Warzone Gets New Update for Season 3, Patch Notes Revealed

04/16/2024 12:37 pm EDT

A new update for Call of Duty: Warzone has today been released across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. Currently, Warzone is in the midst of Season 3, which went live at the start of April. Since that time, one new patch has come about that brought a handful of small tweaks to the Season 3 meta in Warzone. Now, the game's latest update looks to shift the meta even further with a few new balance changes. 

Per usual, the newest patch for Call of Duty: Warzone brings some small bug fixes to the battle royale experience. Far and away the biggest tweaks tied to this update, though, are associated with various weapons. Activision has both nerfed and buffed a handful of different assault rifles, SMGs, and one lone sniper rifle in Warzone. Other than this, two minor changes have also been made to C4 and frag grenades.
