Activision releases a new update for Call of Duty: Warzonefixing a number of bugs, making further changes to player XP values, while adding new content including the return of Rebirth Island. Black Ops 6 has managed to get a huge launch, even without it Call of Duty: Warzone is available on day 1.

However, all that changed on November 14 when Call of Duty: Warzone launched inside Black Ops 6complete with new playlists and maps such as Area 99. Even after being available for a week, Raven Software has been busy with the popular mode, fixing issues found by players, making changes to mechanics such as player movement, while enjoying some tactical equipment such as Stim Shot. Now a new update has arrived that makes further tweaks and changes to the core War zone experience.

While not a major update, it does address some of the hot topics currently happening in War zone experience. The Stim Shot in War zone has again been tweaked, giving players a 3 second speed boost duration instead of just 1. XP balancing has been another hot button issue in the community, especially with the token controversies and the fact that Black Ops 6 owners get a small boost compared to those who don't. With this update, Raven has increased player XP in Battle Royale and Plunder, while weapon XP has been boosted in Resurgence and Plunder.

The update also sees the return of Rebirth Island to the Warzone roster. Raven originally removed Rebirth Island on November 18, just days after War zone relaunched inside Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Details were limited, but Raven temporarily removed Rebirth Island from War zone playlist to investigate and fix map-specific issues. According to the patch notes, the studio fixed a number of lighting and audio issues on the map, hopefully giving players an improved experience overall.

One element that was left alone in this update is movement. Recently, Call of Duty: Warzone reduced the minimum sprint time required to glide or dive to prone, while also fixing a frustrating bug that prevented some players from sprinting after performing a bunch of actions in a short amount of time.

• Stim Shot
  • Speed ​​boost duration increased from 1 second to 3. Developer Note: At the launch of Warzone, we identified a critical issue and, in response, temporarily reduced both the speed increase and duration of Stim Shots while we worked on a solution. Our goal is to offer a meaningful speed boost with a clear upper limit, to ensure balanced and consistent combat encounters. As it stands, both Resolute and Stim Shot give a 15% speed boost each, with a combined power cap of 20%. This allows players to experiment with different combinations to reach maximum effect.

  • We've removed an unintended delay that previously prevented players from interacting with armor/ammo/toolbox when it was first deployed.
