Here are the latest patch notes for Warzone. We’ve condensed the patch notes to focus on major balancing changes, as we know you guys care a lot more about buffs and nerfs than you do about big fixes.
In this article, we’ll regularly update you with the latest set of patch notes, focusing on weapon balance. You can also find info below on when to expect the next patch, and how big the current patch is. Let’s get started.
Note: These are the Warzone patch notes. Here are the latest Modern Warfare 3 patch notes, if you’re looking for standard multiplayer updates.
When Is Warzone Updated?
Warzone will continue to receive weekly balancing patches on Wednesdays at 9 am PT (12 pm ET / 5 pm GMT / 6 pm CET), as was the case during MW2019, BOCW, Vanguard, and MW2. Although, smaller “hot patches” are deployed at any time in response to major bugs, and seasonal updates are only deployed every couple of months.
If the date and time of Warzone’s weekly update changes, then we will keep you informed.
