Summary
Activision has released the patch notes forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3andWarzone’s newest update that rebalances weapons, fixes bugs, adds ground vehicles to Rebirth Island, and more. The minor update arrives asCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3has enjoyed a surge in popularity recently.
This past weekend,Call of Dutyhit its highest Steamplayer count since last year, largely thanks to a free trial that ran from April 4 to April 8 and the launch of Season 3 on April 3. Season 3 added two new weapons in the MORS sniper and FJX Horus SMG. However, someWarzoneplayers began running into issues while using the MORS that caused on-target shots to regularly miss. Unfortunately, this issue still seems to be unfixed with the newest update, butCall of Dutypreviously confirmed that it’s scheduled to be addressed in a future patch.
As forWarzone’s new update, the only gameplay change is the addition of ground vehicles to Rebirth Island. Other changes include certain attachments being removed from certain guns' Gunsmith screens, such as the TAQ Evolvere’s duplicate ZEHMN35 muzzle and the MORS' incompatible Hurricane 9 Variable optic.Warzone’s update also fixes various bugs such as tactical and lethal equipment not automatically getting picked up, too many UAV Towers incorrectly spawning in Ranked Play, and the minimap not notifying the user of an enemy Advanced UAV.
As forModern Warfare 3’s update,Call of Duty’s SVA 545 ARreceived the only major weapon balance change, which is buffed with increases to its maximum, near-medium, and medium damage ranges.MW3sees the same attachment changes asWarzone, along with “improved consistency” for penetration damage while using the MORS' Photonic Charge barrel.MW3’s gameplay changes include an improvement to spawn logic while enemy killstreaks are active and additional spawn points added to Shipment that should improve the probability of a good respawn.
The update also changed a couple ofModern Warfare 3’s Vests. Now, players who equip both the Ninja Vest and Reinforced Boots will gain the effects of Running Sneakers, and the Compression Carrier Vest now immediately triggers health regeneration after getting a launcher kill. Additionally, C4 can no longer be detonated until it’s been stuck to a surface for half a second.
Modern Warfare 3’s update also addressed various bugs, includingConversion Kitsnot being fully removed from the Gunsmith menu after unequipping them, Armory Unlock Challenges not displaying a message upon completion, and the Weekly Challenge countdown timer not displaying the correct time.
Note: This mechanic was expected for the Season 3 update but did not function as intended at the time of release.
