New MW2 and Warzone 2 update fixes a bunch of bugs that came with season 3 update

Bugs have been squashed, but little else.

A new 1GB update is available now for players to download in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. But sadly, it’s light on content and heavy on bug fixes.

The patch only has a few minor adjustments to the game’s various modes outside of the slew of bug fixes, which aim to rectify some problems that have cropped up since last week’s season three update hit the game on April 12.

Quality-of-life updates in the patch include a change that will automatically select the most “valuable” reward in a battle pass sector, an improvement to the buy station interface for controller players, and a new one-minute countdown in a DMZ match before players can use a UAV.

It’s been a tough start to season three in CoD. Infinity Ward revealed that wins and losses are not tracking properly in Warzone 2, new store bundles are being called pay-to-win, and streamers like Dr Disrespect have been speaking out against the new season’s lack of content.
