Warzone’s second season is off to a great start, with the long-awaited return of Fortune’s Keep and Ranked Play for Resurgence.
Continuing the momentum, a new patch has been released, bringing a limited set of modifications. Notably, the Striker 9 gets a buff, but merely a recoil pass rather than an overall upgrade, like in MW3. The armor and gas mask have also been updated for improved quality of life.
Without further ado, here’s a detailed description of the February 13 Warzone patch, courtesy of the developer blog post.
