The developers of Call of Duty: Warzone have introduced a new feature into the game with a secret change: Pre-Match Loadouts. However, this feature also brought along a serious bug, leading to the loadouts being removed the same day.
What kind of ability is this? It concerns “Dead Silence,” one of the best, if not the best field upgrade in Warzone. Dead Silence conceals the noises you make while walking and even sprinting.
Opponents can no longer hear you, making it almost impossible to notice you. This way, you can easily rack up kills or even secure victories.
Dead Silence annoys many players and is set to receive a proper counter soon, but was temporarily active due to a bug.
How did the bug enter the game? The error was introduced through a secret feature called Pre-Match Loadouts. These were implemented without announcement and allowed you to adjust and set loadouts already in the lobby. With loadouts, you can select the best weapons in the game directly in Battle Royale and equip them without having to find them on the ground.
However, the feature led to a series of problems, including players starting a match directly with a loadout (via Eurogamer.net) or experiencing endless Dead Silence (via reddit.com). Thus, Raven Software disabled the feature the same day:
Secret change brings a nasty bug
What were the loadouts even good for? The idea behind Pre-Match Loadouts was quite good. You should be able to set which weapons and equipment you want to play with before a round in Battle Royale.
The configured loadout will then be automatically selected when you find a loadout drop in Warzone. This saves you valuable seconds that could secure you a victory in a heated battle.
The developers announced that the feature will return to the game at a later date. However, there is no exact time for it yet.
More secret changes: In recent days, Raven Software has made additional undocumented changes to Warzone, including a secret change that puts pressure on campers.
Campers are annoying, but at least (mostly) honest players. Those often annoyed by cheaters should be especially pleased with a second change that took place behind the scenes – as the developers managed to strike against cheaters:
