Warzone Update Patches Popular Exploit
With so manychanges being made toWarzonewith Season 3 Reloaded, a rather severe exploit managed to find its way into the game, allowing players to drop their custom loadouts in a pre-game lobby and then retrieve the loadout in-game.As manyWarzoneplayers will be well aware, obtaining a custom loadout can be the difference between a win and a loss, so getting it as soon as possible can be a game-changer.However, Raven Software has now patched the exploit in a new update released on May 5. After downloading and installing the patch, players will be unable to drop their custom loadouts during the pre-game lobby.
While many players have been focused on the various bugs, glitches, and exploits that Season 3 Reloaded brought with it, others have been debating thereturn of a classicWarzonefeature: exterior rooftop ascenders. Initially, many were uncertain if ascenders were actually returning with the mid-season update, but the official patch notes quickly shut those rumors down.
Ascenders were initially available in Season 5 of Verdansk, but were left absent when the map returned with Season 3 earlier this month. The divisive feature allows players to scale certain buildings quickly and easily, adding a new element that can completely changeWarzone's gameplay. While some believe the game is better without them, others think they were an excellent addition for Season 3 Reloaded.
Season 3 Reloaded’s newHigh Art event also sparked controversy amongCall of Dutyplayers, as many are seemingly tired of all of the weed-themed cosmetic items and operators. The event not only added some psychedelic new modes toWarzoneandBlack Ops 6, but also brought Hollywood actor Seth Rogen to the shooter as a new operator.
