But no matter how the perk works after the update – campers will have to do more for their protection against reconnaissance, and the heartbeat sensor could become valuable again.
Currently, there is still another tactical item that is so strong that you should always use it.
A new update is online in Call of Duty: Warzone and changes 5 base perks. Included is an adjustment of the important Ghost perk, which could be a small game changer for annoying campers. MeinMMO shows you the patch notes in English.
Call of Duty: Warzone addresses perk balance 2 years after release. These perks are part of every loadout and provide you with passive bonuses.
This allows you to revive team members faster, regain equipment over time, or hide from intrusive reconnaissance drones.
Especially the last point regarding the reconnaissance drones also means that campers can hide better. However, after the latest changes, they should have a bit more difficulty.
CoD Warzone: Update 28.03. changes perks – Patch Notes
When is the update coming? The patch is already online, and the changes are in the game.
How big is the update? It was just a small update without significant size.
What’s in the update? Overall, the developers changed 5 perks and additionally adjusted the description texts in the game for 3 perks. The changes are:
- Red Perk: Ghost
- Only works when players are moving
- You can see if Ghost is active by your player arrow on the mini-map
- If the arrow is somewhat transparent, Ghost is active
- Blue Perk: Looting
- The looter bag of an opponent is now highlighted in cyan
- Cooldown is now 60 seconds instead of 20
- You also receive a plate while looting
- Red Perk: Refill
- Time to refill reduced from 50 to 25 seconds
- Stims are only refilled every 60 seconds
- Blue Perk: KRD
- Damage reduction is now calculated slightly differently
- Maximum explosive damage is now 200 (previously 80)
- Damage reduction increased from 35% to 45%
- Blue Perk: Stitching
- Using a plate now starts health regeneration
Note: The texts in the game for “Ghost” and “Refill” have not yet been updated. You will still find the old description here.
The other 2 perks have the correct description, and additionally, there are new texts for the perks Turn Up, Kill Chain, Point Friend, and Hardliner.
If you want to take a look at the English patch notes yourself, you can find them at developer Raven Software (via ravensoftware.com).
Why is this bad for campers? “Ghost” is the most important stealth perk and hides players from reconnaissance drones and heartbeat sensors. Essential for campers in their profession.
If players with a more “stationary” playstyle want to continue benefiting from Ghost, they will inevitably have to move.
It still remains to be seen how the new Ghost mechanic works in detail. Whether it is enough to just take a step every few seconds or if you have to move continuously and a lot.
But no matter how the perk works after the update – campers will have to do more for their protection against reconnaissance, and the heartbeat sensor could become valuable again.
Currently, there is still another tactical item that is so strong that you should always use it.
