The mid-season update forWarzone 2Season 2 is here, with some key changes coming to the battle royale. Here’s what you’re able to expect.
The ‘Reloaded’ updates have become popular times forCall of Dutygames since the launch of Warzone in 2020, with the developers releasing new content mid-season and giving some indication of what’s to come in the following season.
Season 2 ofModern Warfare 2is no different, providing weapon balancing, audio updates, and other community-demanded quality-of-life changes.
Here’s everything pertaining to Warzone 2 revealed in the blog post.
Weapon balancing and bomb drone removal
Standard for any major Warzone 2 update, the developers made a long list of weapon balancing changes. This time around, the KV Broadside finally received a close-range and overall damage reduction.
LMGs have dominated the early stages of the battle royale sequel, and the class was hit hard by this update. The RAAL and Sakin MG38 received damage reductions, while the RPK is harder to shoot.
Raven Software also announced that theBomb Dronewill be removed at the start of Season 2 Reloaded while the developers “explore additional balancing options for this killstreak.”
Ashika Island changes
Warzone 2 community members begged for every playlist to be available, and the developers came through for fans. Solos, Duos, Trios, and Quads are available at all times instead of at limited intervals.
AI combatants are no longer a feature on the island, and the developers made a few balancing changes. The first circle is larger and fully on land, and the countdown timer adjustments improve match pacing.

ACCESSIBILITY
Inverted Flash
An “Inverted Flash” option has been added as an accessibility option in the Interface category for Season 02 Reloaded with two values: Off (default behavior) and On (added behavior). This option allows to change the color of the flash effect of the flashbang tactical grenade from white to black. We recommend adjusting this option for Players who feel discomfort when affected by the full white screen effect of the flashbang tactical grenade. Duration and visual are at parity between the two values of the option, providing no competitive advantage.
QUALITY OF LIFE
Tac Map & Minimap
Ashika Island
All squad sizes for Resurgence will be available through Season 02 Reloaded!
