[GameSpot] - CoD: Warzone June 30 Patch Notes Include Lootable Perks For Fortune's Keep, Plus Weapon Balancing

[343iBot]

The latest update has arrived to Call of Duty: Warzone, and the June 30 patch notes reveal that lootable perks, which were recently added to the Caldera map, have now been added to Warzone's smaller Fortune's Keep Resurgence map. Major adjustments were also made to both weapons and attachments.

Just like on Warzone's larger Caldera map, players can now get geared up with lootable perks on Fortune's Keep. These lootable perks can be randomly obtained from ground loot and opening supply boxes. They are legendary rarity, but players can equip one of each perk type found. There is no perk limit here, but only one of each perk type can be equipped per match.

For the weapon balancing, Warzone's most popular the NZ-41 assault rifle received a slight nerf, decreasing the weapon's lower torso damage multiplier from 1.1 down to 1.0. Additionally, two of the NZ-41's attachments received major nerfs. The Orb Weaver 360mm BC barrel and the 6.5mm Sakura 50 Round Mags magazine attachment received major decreases to recoil control.

Season 4's new UGM-8 light machine gun also got nerfed in the update. The weapon's muzzle velocity has been decreased by 4%, while several attachments were also nerfed. This included damage reductions for the commonly used Romuald 560mm DA barrel attachment, which previously made the LMG feel like a steady laser beam across the map.

A change also comes to Vanguard's sniper class. The muzzle velocity has been increased by 4% for Vanguard's 3-Line Rifle, Kar98k, and Type 99 sniper rifles.

Additionally, the update brings a few bug fixes to Warzone. The patch notes detail fixes for an issue that previously caused performance drops while doing the Black Market Supply Run Contracts, and a bug that prevented players from purchasing a Loadout at the start of a private match.

Season 4 of Warzone recently added the new Fortune's Keep map, which includes several new Easter eggs to discover. The Caldera map also received major landscape changes and a decrease of foliage for this new season.
