Raven Software Drops Massive Warzone Update: Audio Fixes and Weapon Adjustments
Raven Software, the renowned developer behind Warzone, has just released a major rebalancing update to address the most pressing concerns raised by the game’s enthusiastic community. In this update, the team has focused on fine-tuning audio issues and tackling weapon imbalances that were affecting gameplay. Today’s patch notes, released on December 14, outline all the adjustments made, including audio enhancements, nerfs to popular weapons, and more.
One of the primary concerns raised by players was the dominance of certain weapons, which overshadowed other options. For example, the MTZ Interceptor marksman rifle was outperforming sniper rifles with its higher headshot damage and fire rate. Similarly, the BAS-B battle rifle was proving more effective than SMGs in short-range encounters, while akimbo pistols were wreaking havoc within a five-meter radius. Raven Software took note of these imbalances and swiftly addressed them in this update.
Among the notable adjustments, the BAS-B battle rifle has seen its maximum damage reduced from 39 to 35, while its minimum damage has been decreased from 27 to 25. The DG-56’s maximum damage has been reduced from 40 to 32, and the headshot multiplier for the MTZ Interceptor has been brought down from 2.2 to 1.8. These changes aim to ensure a more balanced playing field where various weapons can flourish.
However, the developers have assured players that even with these nerfs, the BAS-B, DG-56, and MTZ Interceptor will still have a place among the top-ranked weapons. Warzone Loadout, a trusted content creator, has even predicted that these weapons will continue to hold their ground.
In addition to weapon balancing, the audio concerns have been tackled head-on by Raven Software. Footstep sounds, ladder audio, and directional gunshot glitches had been plaguing players, making it difficult to locate enemies accurately. The developers have acknowledged these issues and implemented improvements aimed at enhancing the overall audio experience. While this update addresses some of the concerns, Raven Software remains committed to further audio enhancements and urges players to provide constructive feedback.
The recent update also includes other changes, such as improvements to impact detection for the Breacher Drone, preventing it from dealing unintended damage. Additionally, adjustments have been made to the Blacksite key rewards, ensuring that only the first completion of a Stronghold grants a key, and Resurgence mode has disabled redeployment after circle three.

Raven Software’s dedication to listening to the community and swiftly addressing their concerns demonstrates their commitment to providing an optimized and immersive gaming experience. With ongoing updates and the promise of future improvements, Warzone players can expect a more balanced and enjoyable gameplay experience.
