Call of Duty: Warzone Drops First New Season 5 Update With Patch Notes

Warzone's newest update features some key balance changes.

By Logan Moore

Call of Duty: Warzone has today received its first new update since the beginning of Season 5 roughly one week ago. Upon the launch of Season 5, Warzone players were greeted with the return of Superstore, which is a hugely-popular POI from the battle royale game's past. Additionally, new weapons were brought into Warzone to spice up the meta a bit. Now, Activision is looking to make some changes to the various weapons in Warzone which will result in the meta shifting once again. 

Downloadable now across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, this new Call of Duty: Warzone update is mainly focused on balance changes. Specifically, the RAM-9, SUPERI 46, COR-45, and TYR have all been tweaked just a bit. Additionally, Activision has made it to where the Push Dagger can be used with a heavy swing. Other than these alterations, this new patch has only brought about some smaller bug fixes as well to improve the overall state of Warzone.
