After a last-minute delay, the next big free update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone is now available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Developer Infinity Ward announced on Twitter that the next update–which includes a new Operator and map for Modern Warfare and big changes for the Warzone battle royale mode–would arrive on Thursday, and it’s now available to download.

In terms of what’s new, the update adds a new Modern Warfare multiplayer Operator, Talon, who has a very good boy to accompany him. There is also a new map, Khandor Hideout, which will get its own 24/7 playlist at launch so people can play it endlessly.

Also new with the update is the NVG Infected mode, which is essentially Infected, but with the lights off. The “Survivors” team have thermal sights, but the Infected team can see in the dark. The Plunder mode for Warzone, meanwhile, adds a new variant in the form of “Blood Money.” This special game mode gives guaranteed cash drops for all kills, while completing bounty contracts and finishing moves pays out extra money as a bonus incentive.

The standard Warzone battle royale mode introduces four new weapons with the update: 725 Shotgun, MK2 Carbine, EBR-14, and the .50 GS. In terms of changes, Infinity Ward has nerfed shotgun damage from close range so a single shot will no longer down an enemy who has full armor. However, players who are using Stopping Power ammo can still down an enemy with a shotgun blast from close range with a single shot.

Warzone also now supports different controller button layouts, which is good news for one reason in particular. You can now choose to use the Bumper Ping and Bumper Ping Flipped layouts to use the “Ping” feature by pressing the controller’s bumper instead of the D-pad. This is wonderful news, as fans remarked that the D-pad configuration was awkward. This change brings Warzone more in line with Apex Legends, which also uses bumpers for pings.

Another notable change for Warzone is that the price of Loadout Drops from the Buy Station has been increased to $8,500, which is up from $6,000. The Loadout Drops have been one of Warzone’s most controversial new features because they allow you to spawn with any loadout you want from the main Modern Warfare mode, thus giving players the opportunity to wield high-power Legendary weapons early in matches.

At $6,000, the Loadout Drops were already the most expensive item you could purchase from the Buy Station. The new price increase should help level things out, though undoubtedly Loadout Drops will remain controversial.

Modern Warfare And Warzone Patch Notes March 26

WHAT’S NEW:

• New Coalition Operator, Talon!
• Khandor Hideout 24/7 Playlist in Modern Warfare Multiplayer!
• NVG Infected Multiplayer Mode – Infected in the Dark. Survivors have a thermal sight and limited NVG battery, but the Infected can see in Dark. Realism damage, so make those headshots count!
• Plunder: Blood Money – Guaranteed cash drops on all kills. Bounty Contracts and Finishing Moves pay extra cash!

GENERAL FIXES:

• When using a Tactical Insertion in the crawl space near the oil derrick on Rust, the player will spawn elsewhere on the map instead of where the Tac Insert was placed. This has been fixed

• We now show weapon and equipment counts in the killcam. If a player was using Stopping Power, then the ammo count will be orange to denote this. We also show whether a player was using Dead Silence in the killcam as well

Weapons:

• Increased the max travel time for Crossbow bolts from 3 seconds to 6 seconds for longer distance shots

PC:

• Stun Grenades are now less intense

• Fix for a bug where the animation for the player equipping a gas mask will interrupt and block players from deploying their parachute
• Tuned close up shotgun damage to prevent a single shotgun blast from downing a fully armored player. Stopping power can still make this happen
• Added Warzone specific controller button layouts. The Bumper Ping and Bumper Ping Flipped layouts will allow those playing Warzone with a controller to use the Ping feature more efficiently

Plunder:

Kompletter Artikel: Call of Duty Modern Warfare & Warzone: Neues Update verschoben – Patch verzögert sich

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare‘s latest update has been pushed back. The substantial patch was scheduled to go live earlier in the week and introduces a new Operator, map, and more, but it will now release “in the coming days.”

Infinity Ward provided no explanation for why the update has been delayed, nor did the studio clarify exactly when it will go live on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. However, Infinity Ward did say that more details regarding “updates on release timing” will arrive sometime soon.

When it finally launches, the Modern Warfare patch comes with Talon, a brand-new Operator that’s playable in both the game’s traditional multiplayer and standalone battle royale experience Warzone. He brings with him a dog companion named Indiana, an item in Talon’s toolkit that gives him access to spicy finishing moves.

The update will also introduce the new multiplayer map Khandor Hideout. The Syrkistan location is a medium-sized map featuring long sightlines and compact interior spaces perfect for snipers, shotguns, and SMGs.

In other Call of Duty news, Infinity Ward is planning to add four new weapons to Warzone soon–though it’s unclear if they will make it to Modern Warfare. Further, Warzone has some new DLC that supports military veterans “in these difficult times [where] veterans need more help with employment than ever.”
