The Warzone Season 1 patch notes have been released, this time a day before the season starts. The notes highlight both the new additions that come with the Black Ops 6 integration and all the changes to the game's elements.

While you wait for the season to start, you can scroll down and read all the notes to prepare accordingly.

Release date

Warzone Season 1 is scheduled to begin on Thursday, November 14 at 9:00 am PT (5:00 pm GMT). The season will last for about eight weeks, with a mid-season patch dropping around the fourth week.

PC players can preload the update to have it ready for release. On the other hand, the preload for console players should be available a few hours before the season drops.

Patch notes

Here are the Warzone Season 1 patch notes posted on the game's official website, excluding everything about the new additions since that was already detailed previously:

RICOCHET Anti-Cheat

Treyarch has delivered several updates to combat disruptive behavior, including:

  • Enhanced AFK detections to battle against account boosting
  • Adjusting ping thresholds to require players play matches in their region to cut down on VPN abuse

To unlock Ranked Play in Black Ops 6, players will need to win 50 match-made multiplayer matches:

  • This ensures that players are experienced with multiplayer before they enter the mode and gives #TeamRICOCHET a historical match history to examine before an account enters Ranked Play
  • #TeamRICOCHET also utilizes its Replay Investigation Tool to monitor replays of top players as part of the investigation process

Maps

Map Adjustments

Urzikstan, Rebirth Island

  • Vehicles

    • Increased Redeploy Drone count and spawn rate for balancing later circles.
  • Biometric Scanner & Weapon Trade Station
    • Rewards for the Biometric Scanner and Weapon Trade Station have been rebalanced and updated to Black Ops 6 loot.

Modes

Mode adjustments

  • Resurgence
    • Players will receive an additional 25% discount in the Buy Station on "Redeploy Squadmate" while the Resurgence timer is still active.

General

  • Carry-Forward
    • Weapons, blueprints, operators and skins, and vast majority of the cosmetics from Modern Warfare II and III will be available to players in the Black Ops 6 era of Warzone.
  • AFK Detection
    • We have updated the detection logic to determine if a player is AFK during an active match.
  • Leaderboards
    • To accommodate and track the new statistics coming with the Black Ops 6 integration, the Warzone Leaderboard stats will be reset at launch.

Combat

Combat Adjustment

  • Primary Weapon
    • The Loadout inventory is returning to the classic Warzone experience where players can only equip one Primary weapon.
    • There is a Wildcard detailed further below that allows for two Primary weapons to be equipped.
  • Self-Revive Auto Pickup
    • While downed, players will now be able to automatically loot Self-Revive kits that are within close proximity.
  • Live Ping Duration
    • The duration of live pings has been reduced from 3 seconds to 2 in order to bring more balance to a combat engagement.
  • Armor Plate Replacement Speed
    • The speed at which players can replace broken or missing armor plates has been increased by 8% to match the fluidity of Black Ops 6 Omnimovement.
  • Abandon Timer
    • The time players must wait to give up has been reduced from 5 seconds to 4 seconds due to the previous Interrogation mechanic being replaced.
  • Deaths Door
    • The health at which players will enter the death’s door state has been reduced from 50% to 35%.
    • The health at which the death’s door state will end has been reduced from 70% to 55%.
    • This change is due to us wanting to enable Players to better hear and see their surroundings when under threat by an enemy.

Movement

Movement adjustment

  • Tac Sprint Duration
    • We heard feedback around default tac sprint duration, so it has been increased from 2 seconds to 4 seconds.
  • Landing Tuning
    • The duration of the shock effect when falling from a near-death height has been reduced to 2.1 seconds from 3 seconds.
    • The minimum fall damage required before the shock effect from landing is now 55%, up from 50% allowing for slightly higher jumps with less punishment.
    • This change is made to better enable the movement opportunities that the Black Ops 6 integration allows.
  • Vertical Ascenders & Horizontal Zipline Improvements (Quality of Life)
    • Interacting with the Ascenders and Ziplines lines has been improved, making it easier to attach to the line from an angle or while free falling to increase fluidity.
  • Redeploy Drones
    • Redeploy Drones are fixed in place for the duration of a match.
    • Once a Redeploy Drone has been consumed by the gas, it will leave the map rather than relocating to give a more consistent experience.

Equipment

Equipment adjustments

With the Black Ops 6 integration, we have adjusted a number of the Lethal and Tactical equipment to offer a new and fresh arsenal of choices.

  • Maximum Deployed Equipment
    • The maximum number of lethal and tactical equipment that can be planted at the same time has been increased to 3 up from 2.
    • We aligned Warzone with the changes to Multiplayer. This enables some of the new traps to be better utilized and function better with other adjustments like the Munitions Vest and Bomb Squad.
  • Frag
    • Outer damage decreased to 65 from 110.
    • Middle damage increased to 170 from 155.

  • Munitions Box
    • The munitions crate now grants 3 clips of every ammo type, rather than only refilling your primary and secondary weapon ammo types.
    • With this change players are enabled to make pivots in their weapon choices. A focus on breadth rather than depth of ammo.
  • Portable Radar
    • The duration of the portable radar pulse has been increased from 25 seconds to 30.

Weapons

Black Ops 6 Weapons

Black Ops 6 weapons have a unique Warzone damage profile, which includes specific base damage, range, and location-based modifiers.

We’ve adjusted several Black Ops 6 attachments to function differently in Warzone:

  • CHF Barrel
    • For Assault Rifles, LMGs, DMRs, SMGs, and Pistols: This now grants an increased neck multiplier rather than a head multiplier.
    • For Sniper Rifles and Shotguns: This now provides increased leg modifiers instead of arm modifiers.
  • Flip Magazine
    • The magazine capacity penalty from Multiplayer has been removed. In Warzone, flip mags match the base weapon's ammo capacity.
  • Rapid Fire
    • This attachment now applies a base damage penalty in Warzone, along with greater penalties to bullet velocity and range.

Modern Warfare II and III Weapons

A visual recoil reduction pass has been applied to Modern Warfare II weapons, enhancing their feel and control while shooting.

Barrel and stock attachments from Modern Warfare II have also had their penalties reduced. Additionally, a significant balancing pass has been completed for underbarrel and muzzle attachments from both Modern Warfare II and III. All cons have been removed from these attachments, meaning they now only provide stat boosts, with each subcategory of underbarrels and muzzles functioning identically except for cosmetic differences. AMP attachments in these slots, however, retain their unique functionality and balancing.

  • Muzzle Enhancements
    • Suppressors: Boost velocity and damage range. 
    • Comps: Improve recoil control. 
    • Flash Hiders: Increase damage range and firing aim stability. 
    • Breacher: Enhance melee damage and recoil control. 
  • Underbarrel Enhancements
    • Angled Grip: Increases hipfire and tacstance accuracy and aim walking steadiness. 
    • Handstop: Improves sprint-to-fire and ADS speed. 
    • Vert Grip: Enhances recoil control and firing aim stability. 

Furthermore, Modern Warfare II and III weapons now have corner-slicing functionality, adding an extra tactical edge.
