Call of Duty: Warzone Update 1.59 Deployed on June 22 For Season 4
Below you will find the official patch notes for the June 22Call of Duty: Warzoneupdate, which marks the beginning of Season 4: Mercenaries of Fortune.
Golden Plunder |New Caldera Mode
This new limited-time Mode offers a new take on the Blood Money experience:
Fortune’s Keep Resurgence |New Fortune’s Keep Mode
At launch, Fortunes Keep will have the same Player count as Rebirth Resurgence to allow Players to familiarize themselves with the new map and for us to acquire data on the similarities between time-to-action on both maps. We will then be looking to increase the Player count should the experience need an adjustment to match Rebirths pacing.
Plunder Adjustments
Caldera Updates
For Season Four, our goal is to open up the map for cleaner sightlines and reduced visual noise on the map. This “arid” approach to map direction will bring a new dynamic to the gameplay - bush camping will become a rarity rather than the norm, it brings added value to Field Upgrades like the Deployable Cover, and positional awareness and proximity to landmarks now being of high priority.
The many Gameplay changes made in Season Three, such as the Sniper rebalance, the Ghost movement change and the addition of the Serpentine Perk, were made in preparation of Season Four - knowing that improved map sightlines require adjustments in certain areas of the gameplay to keep engagements in a healthy balance.
With this being the most comprehensive set of changes to Caldera since Season One, we will continue to monitor feedback and sentiment and make additional changes where necessary.

Melee Weapons were often falling short of a straight up engagement in cqc, in addition their movement speeds were no longer competitive with some of the faster and more aggressive Weapon builds. As a result many Melee Weapons have had their swing time (the time it takes to swing the weapon in succession) and movement speed adjusted positively.
