Overnight, Raven Software released the Season 6 update in Call of Duty: Warzone. This was joined by the content arriving in Black Ops Cold War, which is now a part of Warzone. As Treyarch did with Cold War one day earlier, Raven released the update’s patch notes for fans to sift through.
The patch notes for Season 6 of Warzone contain a solid amount of content, bug fixes and other gameplay changes. There’s also some weapon balancing but to the degree that some players wanted. Regardless, this is the last content update before the arrival of Vanguard. This means that players only have a little over a month to enjoy Verdansk before it’s destroyed. Players can look at the full Warzone Season 6 patch notes below and see what’s new in the last ride for Verdansk.

While the patch notes don’t include many new changes, there are some aspects for fans to hone in on. The Tiger Team Spotlight receiving a nerf is significant for SMG loadouts, as it won’t be as effective as it was in Season 5 for mobility purposes. Weapon changes aren’t too extensive in themselves, with only the EM2 and C58 ARs receiving notable recoil increases.
The biggest talking point of the patch notes comes in the form of the playlist updates. Iron Trials ’84 is returning, much to players’ enjoyment, along with some new modes like Scopes and Shatterguns. Also, the old Gulag has returned for the final season of Verdansk, giving the map a proper send off.
That does it for the Season 6 patch notes in Warzone. Fans should expect another update within the month of Oct., possibly to address weapon balancing or even add more map changes with Vanguard. Until then, fans can enjoy Season 6 and all of its new content.
