Warzone Season 4 update patch notes…

EVENTS

New Event

• Assault on Vondel Limited-Time

– The Assault of Vondel will be the first community event in which players can secure (and restore) the city by earning medals through completing challenges.

– Completing a community challenge will unlock the following:

– Taxi Boat and Trams

– Reinforcement Flare

– Favorite Supply Box

– New Melee Weapon – Tonfa

• On top of that, securing medals also contribute to your standard Challenges which can unlock several types of rewards including Weapon Blueprints.

MAPS

New Map

• Vondel

– Developed by Beenox, the new Vondel map offers 15 distinct points of interest and a dynamic blend of urban streets, canals, and expansive structures to explore.

– It presents a unique topography centred around an intricate canal system, allowing Players to navigate through water using watercraft and the new Tactical Amphibious Vehicle (TAV).

– Additionally, the map features verticality and strategic opportunities to counter those who seek to take the upper hand.

Adjustments

Al Mazrah

• Sandstorm

– The sandstorm in Al Mazrah has subsided.

– Al Mazrah City now has several sand banks to climb upon, which offer new and creative ways to approach some of the city’s prominent buildings.

– Specifically, expect a massive sand dune up the side of the TV tower, the Embassy, and the “Highrise” building.

– The dunes also piled up across some roadways, including covering parts of the highway system, and nearly flooded entire small structures in the main downtown area.

– There is also some partial destruction that will offer new approaches to maneuvering in, within, and out of the city.

• Landscape

 – Added vibrancy to vegetation throughout the map.

MODES

New Mode

• Lockdown Vondel | Limited-Time | In-Season

– Inspired by the Multiplayer mode Hardpoint — Lockdown will task teams with capturing and holding zones around Vondel rather than being the last Squad standing.

– The first team to reach the score limit wins.

– Key highlights:

– Objective-based gameplay

– Allows for Custom Loadouts right at the start of the match

– Frequent engagements

GAMEPLAY

Adjustments

All Maps | All Modes

• Player Health

– The base Player Health pool has been increased to 150, up from 100.

– With full Armor Plates, the combined total will equal 300.

– Regen Delay increased to 7 seconds, up from 5.

– Note: The above changes apply across all Modes in Warzone including Ranked Play and DMZ.

• Armor Plates Quality of Life

– Players will automatically pick up 9 Armor Plates – 3 in the active Loadout slot and 2 full stacks in the Backpack.

– Players will have to manually pick up Armor Plates beyond that threshold to create more stacks in their Backpack.

• Armor Box Quality of Life

– Players will now receive a fixed number of 6 Armor Plates from Armor Boxes regardless of how many they already have.

• Munitions Box Quality of Life

– Players will now receive a fixed stack of Weapon ammo from Munitions Boxes regardless of how much they already have.

– To clarify, Lethal and Tactical Equipment will still only Refill to the maximum the Player can hold in their active Loadout slots.

• Vehicle Fuel

– Gas Cans will now drain a percentage of total Gas while refueling a Vehicle.

– You can now siphon Gas out of a Vehicle using a Gas Can.

– Rather than catching fire when out of fuel, the Heavy Chopper will now drop out of the air.
