Just one day after the Season 3 Reloaded update, Warzone developers have implemented another patch into the game, with weapon balancing changes and the long-awaited Stim Shot nerf finally arriving, as well as an update on the Ricochet anti-cheat.
The Season 3 Reloaded update brought a number of huge changes to the game, with some huge weapon balancing shifts, a reduction in lobby player counts from 150 to 120, and huge changes to how players can redeploy and get back into the action.
That clearly wasn’t all, though, as another update a day later saw a few more tweaks arrive in Warzone, impacting how players play the game.
