Call of Duty: Warzone’s season 4 patch notes bring new map, Caldera changes, and much more

Gold, glory, and guns galore.

Call of Duty: Warzone’s season four update will be going live shortly, and Raven Software has revealed the patch notes for it.

Recommended Videos

The update includes the standard fare for CoD seasons like new guns and operators, but there are also massive changes being made to the existing battle royale map, Caldera, as well as adding a new map for Resurgence mode called Fortune’s Keep.

There’s also a new vehicle, a new EMP grenade tactical, portable redeploy balloons, and a new interactable called Broken ATMs where cash can be found.

Answering a player complaint about Caldera, Raven has removed 50 percent of the vegetation on the map, which Raven says gives “the added benefits of improved performance on all platforms, better player reads, and location awareness by opening up views to landmarks.”

Raven also said its goal is to “open up the map for cleaner sightlines and reduced visual noise on the map.” This will also reduce the number of bush campers, which is probably good news for everyone—except the bush campers, of course.

Here is the full list of patch notes for the update, which will go live today at 11am CT.

Call of Duty: Warzone season 4 patch notes

Gameplay

New Gameplay Features

  • Armored SUV New Vehicle
    • This vehicle comes with a dedicated rooftop turret seat and additional seats for Operators to use their own loadout weapons.
    • Can be acquired as a reward for completing Sabotage Contracts.
    • [In-Season] Nitro Boost for instant but limited acceleration.
  • EMP Grenade | New Tactical Equipment | All Modes
    • A non-lethal tactical grenade designed primarily around counter-vehicle play that also disrupts enemy electronics. 
    • Disrupts enemy electronics and removes the HUD for 6 seconds.
    • These effects can be reduced via the Battle Hardened Perk.
    • Deactivates Vehicle engines for 10 seconds.
  • Broken ATMs New Interactable
    • Players can choose to visit broken ATMs around the map for a guaranteed source of Cash.
    • Funds periodically spawn near broken ATMs – up to a maximum cap if left unlooted.
  • Portable Redeploy Balloon New Deployable | All Modes | In-Season
    • It’s in the name… a portable version of the popular Redeploy Balloons.
    • Can be placed on the ground and used until it expires or is destroyed.

Quality of life

Image of Operators fighting
  • Loadout Crate UI Selection
    • The in-game Loadout Crate UI selection will always start at the top of the list.

We saw frequent instances of Players selecting undesired loadouts due to the cursor remembering previous selections. In order to prevent this, the cursor will always start at the top of the list. This will better respect Player muscle memory in the heat of the moment – especially during engagements.

  • Gas Mask Animation
    • The ‘break’ animation will no longer interrupt parachuting while falling. 
    • This has been updated to align with the previous update to the ‘removal’ animation.
  • Buy Station Menu
    • Option added to Settings Menu allowing Players to enable the ability to remain in the Buy Station menu/UI when making multiple purchases.
    • Player owned inventory will be indicated next to items in brackets. 
      • i.g. Gas Mask [1]

We wanted to enable more advanced Players the opportunity to remain in the Buy Station when making purchases, therefore knowing the inventory count of each item became an important addition.

  • Deployable Buy Station
    • This deployable will now live for longer in the gas to keep it consistent with the behavior of the in-world Buy Station emplacements.
  • Fire Sale Public Event
    • Self Revive will now have a small associated cost similar to that of other items.
    • Loadout Drop Markers will now receive a discount.
  • Infil POI Text
    • We have updated both the font and color of the default Infil POI text to improve the visibility of High Value Loot Zones.
  • Out-Of-Bounds Timer
    • Increase to 10 seconds, up from 5 seconds.

We felt that the previous map boundary timer wasn’t long enough for Players to recognize their error and course correct in a reasonable timeframe. We have bumped this up slightly to be more sympathetic to mistakes while making sure it cannot be exploited.

  • Gulag Audio
    • Spectators now have muted footstep audio for Players who are fighting in the new “Hold” Gulag.
  • On-Screen Hit Markers
    • Reduced the duration of on-screen hit markers when Players are being hit to better show the most recent hit direction.
  • Redeploy Positioning
    • Players who redeploy via Gulag victory or are bought back will now spawn in close proximity to their Squad or Loadout. 
      • This was previously implemented in Season Three but had to be reverted due to an issue that has subsequently been resolved.

Perks

  • Ground Loot Perks
    • We’ve been delighted with the response to Perks in Ground Loot so have added the following as the rarest drop rate:
      • Ghost
      • Combat Scout
      • Double Time
      • Cold Blooded
      • Amped

Perk Adjustments

  • Battle Hardened
    • Stun and flash resistance increased to 70%, up from 40%

With our push for stronger counterplay opportunities, there were clear gains to be had with a buff here.

  • Scavenger 
    • Awards an additional $500 in the scavenger pouch with each kill.
  • Hardline
    • Provides a 25% discount on all Buy Station items, including Loadout Drop Markers. 

We felt that given the inherent nature of the Perk requiring a Player to have either found Hardline in ground loot, or to have already collected their Loadout, the value and consistency of the Perk needed to be improved.

Previous Adjustments

This work was completed during Season Three Reloaded but is listed here for comprehensiveness. 

  • Restock Perk 
    • Recharge Time increased to 30 seconds, up from 25 seconds.
  • Radar Jammer
    • Reduced drop rate chances in Rebirth Resurgence and Fortune’s Keep.

Tactical equipment

  • Snapshot Grenade
    • Radius decreased to 22 meters, down from 27.4 meters

» Melee «

Melee Weapons were often falling short of a straight up engagement in cqc, in addition their movement speeds were no longer competitive with some of the faster and more aggressive Weapon builds. As a result many Melee Weapons have had their swing time (the time it takes to swing the weapon in succession) and movement speed adjusted positively. 

Katana (VG)

  • Swing-time interrupt delay decreased to 620ms down from 1000ms 
  • Movement Speed scale increased to 0.95, up from 0.948

    • Min Damage increased to 28, up from 26
    • Rate of Fire increased to -38%, down from -50%

The RATT (VG) damage potential was significantly higher when not using a Barrel, we’re addressing that by appropriately increasing the Empress Barrels damage profile and reducing the rate of fire penalty.

  • Max Damage Increased to 27, up from 25
  • Max Damage Range decreased to 9.6 meters, down from 10.3 meters

    • Horizontal Recoil Control decreased to -20%, down from -18%
  • Botti DA 
    • Recoil decreased to 11%, down from 14%

The Armaguerra 43 (VG) currently fills a jack of all trades role, where it doesn’t particularly excel at any-one thing. While this is an identity we want to enforce, we’re making some adjustments to ensure that within its Max damage range it performs more consistently and is less likely to lose a close range gunfight. 

H4 Blixen (VG)

  • Mid Damage decreased to 34, down from 35
  • Movement Speed Scaler decreased to 0.9, down from 0.91
  • ADS Movement Speed Scaler decreased to 1.45, down from 1.5

    • Horizontal Recoil Control decreased to 48%, down from 55%
  • 7.62 Gorenko 54 Round Mags
    • Headshot Damage Multiplier decreased to 18%, down from 25% 

The H4 Blixen (VG) made a pretty impressive statement when it first launched and we’ve seen its adoption rate higher than any midseason weapon in Warzone’s history. This is largely due to the overall effectiveness of the weapon. This update attempts to slightly adjust its Damage profile and overall mobility dominance to weaken its mid range effectiveness, where the weapon has been performing most consistently above the competition. 

MAC-10 (BOCW)

  • Min Damage increased to 20, up from 19
  • Headshot Damage Multiplier increased to 1.33, up from 1.3

» Sniper Rifles «

    • Marksman Rifle Charlie (MW)
    • SP-R 208 (MW)
    • Swiss K31 (BOCW)
    • Pelington 703 (BOCW)
    • LW3 – Tundra (BOCW)
