The Mid-Season of Season 3 of Call of Duty: Warzone is live, and the patch notes are known. The changes are extensive, affecting almost every aspect of the battle royale. Raven Software aims to provide more counters, better movement, and more playtime in matches. Highlights and info about update 1.58 can be found on MeinMMO.
Call of Duty: Warzone has survived the attack of the giant monsters and enters the next phase: Mid-Season 3 is live. And there are a lot of changes to the game – in terms of content and balance adjustments.
The developers at Raven Software explain the changes in the patch notes and show 3 pillars on which the innovations and adjustments are based:
- More counters – Mechanics are meant to have corresponding counter gameplay
- More movement – You should progress faster, and movement techniques will be expanded
- More playtime – The time you spend watching in matches should be reduced
The considerations behind the adjustments are aimed at spicing up sometimes slow mid-games. For this purpose, a fast travel system is coming to the island of Caldera, as well as new tokens for reviving and a speed buff.
We will list the details and info about the update here in an overview.
