Warzone 2.0 Season 2 Reloaded Update Patch Notes
GENERAL
QUALITY OF LIFE
- Killstreak Availability
- The existing “Airspace is too crowded” message will now have a trailing “for X seconds” attached to it to add better context for players.
- Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike Improvements
- Improved the Airstrike danger notification to be more consistent based on each damage location.
- Improved directional tracing to prevent the Precision Airstrike targeting from sometimes landing behind the Players.
- Players will now be notified when calling a Cluster Strike or Precision Airstrike if they are too close to the affected zone.
- Give-Up Timer Consistency
- The give-up timer while downed is now more consistent across modes and will last at least 3 seconds.
- Navigation Pings
- Increased the scale of navigation pings on the Tacmap and Mini-Map for improved readability.
- Armor Break
- The text has been removed from the Armor Break notification (when breaking all of an opponent’s Armor Plates) for improved clarity, whilst the icon has remained.
- Auto-Looting Armor Plates
- As Armor Plates are a critical part of the gameplay loop, Players will now automatically pick up Armor Plates as long as they have available inventory or Backpack space.
- Spawn Protection
- Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
- We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.

GAMEPLAY
General
- Pacing Balancing
- As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
- The combat engagements in the mid-game
- The regain opportunities in the late game
- We will be addressing this across Season 02 Reloaded and going into Season 03, with the first change being a guaranteed “Restock” Public Event in the 4th Circle.
- Future improvements will include:
- More ground loot Supply Boxes, especially in the North of the map
- Resurgence Supply Boxes being sprinkled throughout the map
- Additional Ammo Caches
- And more…
- As a team we are focused on two core areas of the pacing of Battle Royale:
Gameplay Adjustments
Al Mazrah | Battle Royale
- Light Helo
- The Light Helo has been disabled in Solos. We are protective of the Solos squad size being a fair and balanced experience, and the Light Helo went against that ethos.
- Contract Availability
- Increased the number of Contracts revealed over the course of the match to increase their availability in later circles.
- Final Circles
- We are temporarily disabling final circles in the north-western section of the map while we work on improvements for upcoming seasons.
Ashika Island | Resurgence
- Redeployment Drones
- Redeployment Drones are currently active across Ashika Island and will remain live as part of the Resurgence experience.
- AI Combatant Departure
- As the Path of the Ronin event comes to an end, the Shadow Company operatives that have occupied the island will depart in pursuit of their next mission.
- Players will now be public enemy number one for Search & Seizure Contracts and the Data Heist Public Event.
- Circle Balancing
- The first circle will be approximately 20% larger, and more likely to be on land, to better enable a successful Infil.
- Pacing Balancing
- Actions that affect the Resurgence Countdown have been adjusted to allow for more windows of opportunity to Team Wipe the opposing team.
- Buy Station Availability
- Improvements have been made to better spread the Buy Stations more evenly through the map.
- QUALITY OF LIFE
- Spawn Protection
- Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
- We will continue to refine as we move forwards given the importance of this feature to redeploying players.
- Spawn Protection will now disable at 25 meters, up from 19 meters, from the ground or a grounded player in Battle Royale modes.
- Resurgence Killfeed
- The killfeed will now display who is about to redeploy when their Resurgence timer reaches 0.
BUG FIXES

DMZ – Warzone 2.0 Season 2 Reloaded Update Patch Notes
GAMEPLAY
- We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
- Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
- At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
- If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
- This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
- Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
- We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
- The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
- Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
- Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
BUG FIXES
- Fixed several Stronghold access issues across DMZ
- Fixed an issue where the Secure Nuclear Material contract could select a locked toolbox on Ashika Island
- Increased minimum distance between Secure Nuclear Material contracts on Ashika Island so they do not overlap
- Fixed Favor for a Friend Mission having an incorrect location description
- Fixed description for Stronghold Reacquisition Mission incorrectly stating that the Legion Deal Intel must be extracted
- Fixed an issue where taking a weapon directly from an enemy’s Backpack wouldn’t register it as an enemy weapon for some Missions
- Fixed issue where the Overlord voiceover would fade out improperly when extracting
- Fixed issues where certain Missions weren’t sharing progress with squadmates, including missions that have you use field upgrades and killstreaks such as Death From Above
- Fixed issue where Key Elimination wasn’t giving progress for unlocking a cache instead of a locked door
- Fixed an issue where some Players did not get credit for the final exfil due to timer
- Fixed an issue where match search would stop if the party leader left the group
- Fixed an issue that would prevent the Player from using their Armor temporarily, when trying to use Armor and the Radiation Blocker at the same time
