Two new patches are coming for Modern Warfare and the battle royale game Warzone; here's what we know so far.

3 Comments

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone have received an update on August 11 that fine-tunes several weapons within the games. Senior communications manager Ashton Williams detailed on Twitter how weapons such as the FAL and M91 will receive increased damage, while a second patch--still to come--will also fix graphical corruption issues with weapons. The full patch notes from Infinity Ward can be found below for the update that's out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, but be aware that server issues are impacting the games right now. The game's file size has grown over the last several months with huge updates, so ensure you have room on your system's drive. This is especially important on PC, taking up more than 200GB. If you are using a lower-capacity SSD or hard drive, that could cause problems.

The Holger light machine gun will also have increased damage range and ADS speed, while the Bruen MK9 will see its damage range reduced. General fixes have also been implemented for an error that players occasionally received when opening the weapon armory and an exploit in the Shooting Range trial.

"We're looking into an issue where some players are unable to connect to the servers. We'll post another update when we have more information. Thank you for your patience," Infinity Ward tweeted.
