A new Warzone update has come through, featuring a few quality-of-life changes, a unique Striker buff, and more. Here’s the full breakdown of the patch.

Warzone‘s second season is off to a hot start, with the long-awaited return of Fortune’s Keep and Ranked Play for Resurgence

Keeping the ball rolling, a new patch has launched with a small suite of changes. Notably, the Striker 9 received a buff, although it’s only a recoil pass instead of an overall buff like in MW3. There are also a few quality-of-life changes to the armor and the gas mask.

Without further ado, here’s the full breakdown of the Feb 13 Warzone patch courtesy of the dev blog post.
