Call of Duty: Warzone Season Three Patch Notes

The Call of Duty Warzone Patch Notes for Season Three is here! The third season of Warzone and Vanguard is known as “Classified Arms.”

Here, we’ll cover everything from bug fixes to new points of interest on Caldera, Operation Monarch, and more!

Check out our detailed breakdown of Season Three’s Warzone patch notes below.

Gameplay

Armored Truck:

• Health and Resistances Decreased (still greater than Cargo Truck)
• Turret damage decreased by 40%

It’s become clear since its return to the Warzone, that the Armored truck has become a great asset to any team. However, its overwhelming presence has felt oppressive to engage against. We’re bringing it in line with other Vehicles, while still retaining its role as a power-house. 

Dev Team

Sabotage Contract:

Players will be given a vehicle target on the map to destroy. Success will grant you armored truck deployment via plane.

Loot Zones

Areas on the map that have supply boxes!

Weapons

Let’s look at the old weapons receiving changes in Season Three.

Vanguard Weapons have been struggling to perform on par with their peers since they dropped into the Warzone. This update is laying the groundwork to resolve that. Engagement distances have only increased since the transition to Caldera. More skirmishes are taking place within minimum damage ranges. As a result of this, Weapons that have low maximum damage ranges or low minimum damage have become largely inviable. Unfortunately for Vanguard Weapons, this was often the case. Below you will find a myriad of changes aimed at injecting some budding competition into the upper echelon of Warzone Weaponry.
