A new update is rolling out now for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, so make sure to restart and grab it.
Season two of BO6 launched earlier this week with a bunch of new issues popping up, so this follow-up download is greatly welcome for all CoD players looking to enjoy the game during the weekend, trying out all that the new season has to offer.
Today’s CoD update patch notes can be found below.
BO6, Warzone patch notes today: Jan. 13
Today’s update for CoD fixed some issues in both BO6 and Warzone, including one that was affecting both games when it came to players joining up with friends in in-game parties.
The “join failed because you are on a different version” error plagued CoD for a couple of days since season two launched on Tuesday, but has finally been fixed with this update. With the error, some players were totally unable to play with friends until this fix had been deployed. Another BO6-specific bug that was kicking out players who tried to play split screen was also fixed, so player two can safely join up with player one once again for a variety of activities in the latest CoD game.
Warzone-wise, Raven Software says it has updated Buy Stations across Urzikstan, unrestricted the Tracker perk in Ranked Play, and disabled the LTV vehicle while an issue with it is investigated. But the biggest changes are to two popular guns.
The ever-powerful XM4 has been nerfed again, dropping its max range damage from 29 to 27, and medium range damage from 26 to 24, meaning it should hopefully be seen a bit less in BR game types with its massive 100 round magazine. Speaking of which, the 100 Round Mag had its sprint to fire penalty increased from 16 percent to 26 percent, too.
And the new PPSh-41 SMG, which was added as part of the season two battle pass, just got a nice buff, too. Its max damage range has been increased from 11.9 meters to 15.5 meters, medium damage buffed from 24 to 25, and medium damage range increased as well, among other buffs.
Another top tier gun, the Jackal PDW SMG, got slight nerfs. Its aim down sight speed is now a bit slower, as is its sprint to fire time, aiming to balance the gun’s power and range with a bit less mobility.
BO6 Zombies also got some love, with a long list of bug fixes that have been addressed mainly with the newest map, The Tomb, primarily aimed at improving stability of the map that’s been the main source of entertainment for most CoD players since the update dropped.
In short, though, this was a good update that was necessary to fix some of many ills that were caused by the new update, hopefully stabilizing CoD for a weekend full of fun for its players across the world as we head into February 2025, which will include Season Two Reloaded and more content to play.
