Call of Duty: Warzone players almost always end up buying a Loadout Drop throughout a match assuming they live long enough and earn enough money to do so, but those Loadout Drops just became a bit harder to get now that the latest Warzone patch increased the cost of the valuable item. Infinity Ward's Warzone patch raised the price of the Loadout Drops by $2,500 to make them now cost $8,500 instead. They're still quite obtainable for teams who are doing well and finish a few missions or eliminate some other groups, but players will have to save up or pool together a bit more for them.

The patch that nerfed the Loadout Drops by raising their prices was released this week after it was initially delayed. Loadout Drops were the final item on the patch notes with the list of changes showing the nerf that raised the price from $6,000 to $8,500. Other Killstreaks and items available to purchase like the Gas Masks remained unchanged.

Warzone's relevant patch notes for the game's Battle Royale mode can be found below.
