General

Weapon Balancing  Warzone  At the launch of Season 04, weapons in Warzone saw a significant change to their damage profiles, which resulted in an overall increase to the duration of engagements. With Season 04 Reloaded we are placing a bigger emphasis on accuracy in gunfights. To achieve this, every Weapon has had its Warzone damage profiles adjusted to fit into this new balance paradigm with additional attention given to the most dominant Weapons. While this change will result in a wider range of Time to Kill values, meaning some Weapons will be able to kill faster when fired more accurately, and slower when not—it allows Weapons the necessary space to feel more distinct and promotes an ecosystem where each Weapon class can excel.

ALL WARZONE

EVENTS

The Boys: Temp V Field Upgrades Secure the W with superpowers while in the Warzone. Upon consuming the new Temp V Field Upgrade, Players are granted one of four random superpowers. These powers don’t act like a usual Field Upgrade, though… Once you use Temp V, you’re then free to activate this power whenever you wish. But if you’re eliminated from combat before activating the power, then like a normal Field Upgrade, it is lost upon death. The four different superpowers you can get from Temp V:

• Charge Jump – This ability propels the Player across the map without suffering any fall damage and dealing splash damage in a radius when they land.
• Electric Shockwave – This shockwave sends a powerful electrical explosion that injures Operators and AI Combatants, as well as destroys Vehicles and Equipment.
• Laser Vision – This ability levitates the Player and fires an aimed laser beam that sears through enemy targets.
• Teleport – This ability warps the Player straight up into the air.

Temp V is accessible in all Warzone Playlists, including DMZ, except Ranked Play. Temp V is limited in DMZ by effect (such as no Charge Jump) and scarcity.

BATTLE ROYALE, RESURGENCE, PLUNDER, LOCKDOWN

The patch notes detailed in the section below are exclusive to Battle Royale, which includes but is not limited to standard Battle Royale, Resurgence, Plunder, and more.

PLAYLIST

To celebrate the launch of bringing Battle Royale to Vondel for the first time, the opening week of Season 04: Reloaded will focus on the new experience, with Battle Royale returning to Al Mazrah across the remainder of the season.

As a reminder, we will continue to rotate modes in and out of the Playlist on a weekly basis. For regular updates about the Playlist and other Scheduled Events, check out the dedicated Warzone Trello Board.

MAPS

  • Unique to Vondel, this new Gulag is a three-lane map designed for 1v1 combat. The center features a circular structure with an opening facing the two main spawn points.

MODES

New Modes

• Battle Royale Vondel
  • Encroaching Circle collapses, Loadout Drops, the Gulag, and limited chances at being the last Squad standing. The traditional Battle Royale experience comes to Vondel with up to 72 Players per match.

GENERAL

New Features

• Map Rotation
  • A 15 minute in-game timer has been added to the Playlist menu that now indicates when specified Resurgence Modes switch between Ashika Island and Vondel.

Starting with Resurgence Trios, the map will rotate every 15 minutes between Ashika Island and Vondel. This feature will give players an opportunity to enjoy the wide offering of maps and modes that Warzone has. We will closely monitor this feature and may look to expand upon it in future.

• Firing Range Quality of Life
  • Players now have the option to apply 0/1/2/3 Armor Plates on Target Dummies via settings in the pause menu.

GAMEPLAY

New Features All Maps | All Modes

• Armor Plate Carriers Equipment
  • Armor Plate Carriers will now drop when an enemy player is eliminated.
  • Added 3 new types of Armor Plate Carriers:
    • Medic
      • A common Armor Plate Carrier that increases the speed at which Players are able to revive downed Squad members.
      • Increases the speed at which health begins to regenerate.
    • Comms
      • An uncommon Armor Plate Carrier that increases the effectiveness of UAVs by showing the enemy Player’s bearing on the minimap.
    • Stealth
      • A rare Armor Plate Carrier that protects the Player from UAVs and other targeting devices.

Al Mazrah | Battle Royale

• Cash Drop Public Event
  • This new event will spawn 3 planes that will drop a combined total of 12 crates across the map.
  • Each crate will spawn ~$10,000 in Cash and between 2-4 randomized Armor Plate Carriers.
  • This event has a chance to occur during the 3rd and 5th Circles.

Vondel | All Modes

• Personal Redeploy Drone (P.R.D.) Field Upgrade
  • The Personal Redeploy Drone is an instant-use piece of equipment that, when used, will propel and carry the player into the air before releasing them.

Vondel | Battle Royale, Resurgence

• Signals Intelligence Contract
  • Players will be required to track down and hack three different phones to earn rewards over a short duration of time.
  • Each living Squad member will receive a total of 10 payments of $500 for a potential total of $5,000 over 3 minutes and 20 seconds.

• Occupation Scan Public Event
  • Occupation Scan is back! Make sure to go prone or dive underwater when the scan is about to begin otherwise your position will be revealed.

All Maps | Resurgence

• Communal Stations Public Event
  • Once Resurgence is disabled, a series of Deployable Buy Stations will drop onto the field at random for any Player to use.

Adjustments All Maps | All Modes

• Armor/Ammunition Boxes Quality of Life
  • Lethal and Tactical Equipment refill behavior will now match Ammunition.
  • Armor and Ammunition Boxes will now drop additional items that do not fit into the active Loadout slots to the ground - leaving Players to choose whether or not to stow them in the Backpack.

• Gas Mask Quality of Life
  • The Gas Mask animation that automatically starts while Players are airborne will be interrupted if a Player decides to pull their parachute.

• Birdseye Perk
  • When using a UAV in combination with Birdseye, Players under the effect of Ghost are now revealed to that Player.

We want to provide a hard counter to Ghost to offer more variety in the rock-paper-scissors encounters of Battle Royale and open up more play styles.

• Medicine Cabinets
  • Reduced the number of Stims that spawn from Medicine Cabinets to 1, down from 2.

All Maps | Battle Royale

• Redeployment Elevation
  • The elevation at which Players redeploy to the field will now reduce by 9% of the initial elevation each circle.
  • This reduction stops at Circle 8 and remains constant for the remainder of the match.
    • The total difference in height from the start of the match until the last adjustment is approximately 60%.

We have seen an increase in players staying in an airborne state to exploit the aerial advantage in order to obtain a better final placement. We feel this goes against the spirit of a Battle Royale experience, so by lowering the redeployment height with each circle closure we will see a better representation of fairness between being airborne vs. being on the ground. 

Vondel | All Modes

• Cash Increase
  • The minimum amount of Cash that Players will find has been increased to $500, up from $100.
  • This applies to all sources of loot including Cash Registers and Supply Boxes.

• There are reports of a new enemy force attempting to infiltrate Building 21. Proceed with caution, Operators…

• Increased the time to Plea for Help to 20 seconds from 15 after your squad has been eliminated

• The Plea for Help timer that triggers after you are the last Player on a squad eliminated will now pause while holding down the plea button

Plea for Help and Assimilation

• When reviving someone who is pleading, the Player who was pleading will no longer auto-join the reviver’s team

• There will be a 30 second grace period after a Player is revived, where the reviver’s team will not be able to damage the Player who was pleading

• After reviving, the reviver will be given a prompt to invite the revived Player to their team

• The ‘Plea for Help’ and ‘Loot’ prompts are now separate:

• The ‘Plea for Help’ revive prompt is on the Player’s body, and the ‘Loot’ prompt is on the Backpack like normal

• Looting the Player first will not disable the Plea option

• Created a direct assimilation function to only send a request to one person.

• The team who killed the Player that is pleading will no longer be able to accept their plea request and then revive. This prevents killing to force assimilation.

Players Hunting Players If a Player and their Squad kill too many Players in DMZ, that high-kill individual Player will be issued a warning. If they kill another Player, they can expect a Bounty on their head. Enemy Operators in the Exclusion Zone will then recieve intel on your position to secure a reward upon completion.
