Warzone and Modern Warfare Update from 08.05. – This is what the patch notes say
The changes may be manageable; it is only a minor update, but they still bring some fresh air for the weekend.
What changes with CoD Warzone:
- The regular solo mode for the battle royale has now been replaced by Stimulus Solo, a new mode.
- After the helicopters were surprisingly removed from the game due to an exploit with the update from May 5th, they are now back. Apparently, the issue has been resolved, which allowed players to cheat under the map with the helicopter.
- The height and the radius in which enemies hanging on parachutes are displayed have been reduced in battle royale.
What is Solo Stimulus? BR Stimulus Solo is a new mode for the battle royale. The main difference is the absence of the Gulag.
In Solo Stimulus, you jump back in with the parachute directly if you have enough money. The Gulag is disabled. The buyback costs $4,500 and you start with exactly that amount in a match. You can either buy equipment right at the beginning or save the money for a second chance until you have more.
What changes in the regular multiplayer:
- The popular playlist Shipment 24/7 has now been changed to Shipment 10vs10, where it is now even more chaotic.
- Also, in Gunfight, 3vs3 is now only active with knives. So if you want to put your melee skills to the test, now is a good opportunity.
