Raven Software will roll back the latest 'Call of Duty: Warzone' update due to an ongoing issue.
The developer has responded after the latest update - which brought balance changes to weapons and attachments - also resulted in several players seeing an error message stating it required a restart.
However, upon restarting, the message kept popping up and was stuck in a continuous loop.
In response, the studio tweeted: “Hey everyone! Due to an ongoing issue with this mornings update we have made the decision to roll the update back while we work on a fix. We will update as soon as the issue is resolved and the update is relaunched.”
When the update returns, it will bring balance changes for Assault Rifles C58 and FARA 83 by increasing recoil slightly and for Submachine Guns, the Nail Gun will have its maximum damage range increased by 39%.
In the patch notes, they wrote: “The Nail Gun (BOCW) is and was meant to be a lethal, highly-mobile, short-range dominator. However, its Maximum Damage range far exceeded the lethal range of Shotguns, which it is intended to contest.
“The Nail Gun’s (BOCW) generous range and mobility allowed it to consistently dispatch foes at the same speed or faster than Shotguns at almost twice their effective range. While the Nail Gun’s (BOCW) pick rate has remained relatively low, we believe it would have been much higher were it more easily accessible.”
In terms of balance changes to attachments, Raven shared: “We are satisfied with the overall direction of adding Recoil Control to BOCW Barrels. However, we would like the effectiveness of a Weapon to grow with the wielder as they improve.
“We felt with the magnitude by which recoil was being reduced, there was hardly any room left to master the control of these Weapons. We want Weapons to reward you for learning their reload timings, recoil patterns, and bullets to kill. Your proficiency with a Weapon should be a journey that is worked toward with an equivalent payoff.
“When we make Weapons too effective and too easy to control, there is no journey of mastery and we can become disinterested with these Weapons much quicker - which we feel can be a disservice.
“Even after these changes, we understand that there may still be incredibly effective and easy to control Weapons when enough Recoil Control is applied through attachments. We will continue to target these Weapons as they arise to ensure that they strike a satisfactory balance between upside and downside.”
