CoD MW2 & Warzone 2: Update 1.16 / Mid-Season 2

Patch Notes Warzone

GENERAL

Bomb Drones
- Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.

GAMEPLAY

General

Pacing Balancing
- As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
  - The combat engagements in the mid-game
  - The regain opportunities in the late game
- We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
- Future improvements will include:
  - More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
  - Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
  - Additional Ammo Caches
  - And more…
Gameplay Adjustments

Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
- Light Helo
  - The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
- Contract Availability
  - Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
- Final Circles
  - We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
Ashika Island | Resurgence
- Redeployment Drones
  - Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
- AI Combatant Departure
  - As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
  - Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
- Circle Balancing
  - The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
- Pacing Balancing
  - Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
QUALITY OF LIFE
- Spawn Protection
  - Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
    - We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
- Resurgence Killfeed
  - The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
- Killstreak Availability
  - The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
- Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
  - Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
  - Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
  - Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
- Give-Up Timer Consistency
  - The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
- Navigation Pings
  - Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
- Armor Break
  - The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
- Auto-Looting Armor Plates
  - As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
- Spawn Protection
  - Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
  - We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
- Resurgence Killfeed
  - The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
UI/UX
- Spectating
  - Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
- Gas Mask
  - Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
Tac Map & Minimap
- Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
- Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.

DMZ

The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.

Patch Notes DMZ

GAMEPLAY

We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
- Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
- At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
- If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
- This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death

BUG FIXES

Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

  Patch Notes Warzone
  
  GENERAL
  - Bomb Drones
    - Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
  GAMEPLAY
  
  General
  - Pacing Balancing
    - As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
      
      The combat engagements in the mid-game
      
      The regain opportunities in the late game
    - We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
    - Future improvements will include:
      
      More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
      
      Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
      
      Additional Ammo Caches
      
      And more…
    Gameplay Adjustments
    
    Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
    - Light Helo
      
      The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
    - Contract Availability
      
      Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
    - Final Circles
      
      We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
    Ashika Island | Resurgence
    - Redeployment Drones
      
      Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
    - AI Combatant Departure
      
      As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
      
      Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
    - Circle Balancing
      
      The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
    - Pacing Balancing
      
      Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
    QUALITY OF LIFE
    - Spawn Protection
      
      Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
      
      We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
    - Resurgence Killfeed
      
      The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
    - Killstreak Availability
      
      The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
    - Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
      
      Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
      
      Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
      
      Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
    - Give-Up Timer Consistency
      
      The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
    - Navigation Pings
      
      Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
    - Armor Break
      
      The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
    - Auto-Looting Armor Plates
      
      As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
    - Spawn Protection
      
      Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
      
      We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
    - Resurgence Killfeed
      
      The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.

  - DMZ
  The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
  Patch Notes DMZ
  
  GAMEPLAY
  - We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
    - Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
    - At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
    - If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
    - This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
  - Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
  - We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
  - The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
  - Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
  - Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
  BUG FIXES
  - Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
  - Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
  - Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
  - Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
  - Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
  - Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
  - Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
  - Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
  - Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
  - Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
  - Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
  - Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

      Auto-Looting Armor Plates
      
      As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
      
      Spawn Protection
      
      Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

      - DMZ
      The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
      Patch Notes DMZ
      
      GAMEPLAY
      
      We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
      
      Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
      
      At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
      
      If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
      
      This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
      
      Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
      
      We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
      
      The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
      
      Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
      
      Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
      
      BUG FIXES
      
      Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
      
      Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
      
      Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
      
      Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
      
      Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
      
      Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
      
      Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
      
      Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
      
      Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
      
      Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
      
      Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
      
      Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

      - Warzone
      The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
      Patch Notes Warzone
      
      GENERAL
      
      Bomb Drones
      
      Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
      
      GAMEPLAY
      
      General
      
      Pacing Balancing
      
      As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
      
      The combat engagements in the mid-game
      
      The regain opportunities in the late game
      
      We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
      
      Future improvements will include:
      
      More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
      
      Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
      
      Additional Ammo Caches
      
      And more…
      
      Gameplay Adjustments
      
      Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
      
      Light Helo
      
      The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
      
      Contract Availability
      
      Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
      
      Final Circles
      
      We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
      
      Ashika Island | Resurgence
      
      Redeployment Drones
      
      Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
      
      AI Combatant Departure
      
      As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
      
      Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
      
      Circle Balancing
      
      The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
      
      Pacing Balancing
      
      Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
      
      QUALITY OF LIFE
      
      Spawn Protection
      
      Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
      
      We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
      
      Resurgence Killfeed
      
      The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
      
      Killstreak Availability
      
      The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
      
      Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
      
      Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
      
      Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
      
      Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
      
      Give-Up Timer Consistency
      
      The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
      
      Navigation Pings
      
      Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
      
      Armor Break
      
      The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
      
      Auto-Looting Armor Plates
      
      As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
      
      Spawn Protection
      
      Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
      
      We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
      
      Resurgence Killfeed
      
      The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
      
      UI/UX
      
      Spectating
      
      Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
      
      Gas Mask
      
      Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
      
      BUG FIXES
      
      Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
      
      Tac Map & Minimap
      
      Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
      
      Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
      - DMZ
      The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
      Patch Notes DMZ
      
      GAMEPLAY
      
      We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
      
      Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
      
      At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
      
      If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
      
      This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration

      - Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.

        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time
        
        If you want to view the complete patch notes yourself, you can find them on callofduty.com.
        
        After the start of the Mid-Season, Call of Duty is bringing some events. From March 16 to 20, you can try Modern Warfare 2 for free. 6 maps and 8 modes will be available. The first raid from Season 1 can also be tested for free.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah

        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on. A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed

        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on. A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed

        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.

        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

        Give-Up Timer Consistency

        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break

        Auto-Looting Armor Plates

        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ

        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…

        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.

        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time
        
        If you want to view the complete patch notes yourself, you can find them on callofduty.com.
        
        After the start of the Mid-Season, Call of Duty is bringing some events. From March 16 to 20, you can try Modern Warfare 2 for free. 6 maps and 8 modes will be available. The first raid from Season 1 can also be tested for free.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.

        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.

        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ

        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on. A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.

        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.

        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.

        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.

        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.

        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on. A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.
        
        Patch Notes UI/UX

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.

        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.

        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.

        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.

        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches

        Light Helo

        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.

        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.

        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on. A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on. A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…

        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.

        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.

        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ

        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…

        Light Helo

        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

        Give-Up Timer Consistency

        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ

        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone

        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        UI/UX
        
        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on. A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on. A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on. A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        The majority of this section revolves around balance adjustments. The 3 strong LMGs from Warzone have received nerfs – LAHS LMG, RPK, and Sakin MG38 are weaker. The powerful Lachmann MP has also been weakened. Many other MPs are now stronger.
        
        The nasty shotgun KV Broadside has also been nerfed. However, Semtex, fragment grenades, and claymores now deal more damage to armor.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…

        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE

        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.

        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.

        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        BUG FIXES

        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on. A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.

        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        If there was an update, you wouldn’t need to confirm at game start to load into the game anymore. Additionally, the menus in the game are being continuously worked on. A new feature called “Party Queuing” is also introduced, allowing you to search for players to form a party with whom you’ll play longer.

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed

        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ

        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.

        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time

        Warzone
        
        The Battle Royale received its own small list of some quality-of-life adjustments, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and changes to the user interface.
        
        Patch Notes Warzone
        
        GENERAL
        
        Bomb Drones
        
        Bomb Drones have been temporarily removed while we fine tune them.
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        General
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
        
        The combat engagements in the mid-game
        
        The regain opportunities in the late game
        
        We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
        
        Future improvements will include:
        
        More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
        
        Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
        
        Additional Ammo Caches
        
        And more…
        
        Gameplay Adjustments
        
        Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
        
        Light Helo
        
        The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
        
        Contract Availability
        
        Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
        
        Final Circles
        
        We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
        
        Ashika Island | Resurgence
        
        Redeployment Drones
        
        Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
        
        AI Combatant Departure
        
        As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
        
        Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
        
        Circle Balancing
        
        The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
        
        Pacing Balancing
        
        Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
        
        QUALITY OF LIFE
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        Killstreak Availability
        
        The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
        
        Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
        
        Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
        
        Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
        
        Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
        
        Give-Up Timer Consistency
        
        The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
        
        Navigation Pings
        
        Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
        
        Armor Break
        
        The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
        
        Auto-Looting Armor Plates
        
        As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
        
        Spawn Protection
        
        Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
        
        We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
        
        Resurgence Killfeed
        
        The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
        
        UI/UX
        
        Spectating
        
        Friendly pings and splash screens are now visible to spectators.
        
        Gas Mask
        
        Loot cards for gas masks now more accurately reflect their damage amounts.
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed some issues causing rainbow glare to appear on the horizon in Al Mazrah (Xbox only).
        
        Tac Map & Minimap
        
        Fixed an issue preventing elevation arrows on map icons not accurately indicating their position.
        
        Fixed an issue causing the Counter UAV to affect Player maps even while outside of the effective range.
        
        DMZ
        
        The extraction mode of Warzone has also been overhauled.
        
        Patch Notes DMZ
        
        GAMEPLAY
        
        We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
        
        Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
        
        At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
        
        If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
        
        This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
        
        Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
        
        We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
        
        The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
        
        Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
        
        Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
        
        BUG FIXES
        
        Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
        
        Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
        
        Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
        
        Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
        
        Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
        
        Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
        
        Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
        
        Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
        
        Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
        
        Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
        
        Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
        
        Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time
