Weapon Balancing
Warzone
At the launch of Season 04, weapons in Warzone saw a significant change to their damage profiles, which resulted in an overall increase to the duration of engagements. With Season 04 Reloaded we are placing a bigger emphasis on accuracy in gunfights. To achieve this, every Weapon has had its Warzone damage profiles adjusted to fit into this new balance paradigm with additional attention given to the most dominant Weapons. While this change will result in a wider range of Time to Kill values, meaning some Weapons will be able to kill faster when fired more accurately, and slower when not—it allows Weapons the necessary space to feel more distinct and promotes an ecosystem where each Weapon class can excel.

The Boys: Temp V Field Upgrades
Secure the W with superpowers while in the Warzone. Upon consuming the new Temp V Field Upgrade, Players are granted one of four random superpowers. These powers don’t act like a usual Field Upgrade, though… Once you use Temp V, you’re then free to activate this power whenever you wish. But if you’re eliminated from combat before activating the power, then like a normal Field Upgrade, it is lost upon death.
The four different superpowers you can get from Temp V:
Temp V is accessible in all Warzone Playlists, including DMZ, except Ranked Play. Temp V is limited in DMZ by effect (such as no Charge Jump) and scarcity.
The patch notes detailed in the section below are exclusive to Battle Royale, which includes but is not limited to standard Battle Royale, Resurgence, Plunder, and more.
To celebrate the launch of bringing Battle Royale to Vondel for the first time, the opening week of Season 04: Reloaded will focus on the new experience, with Battle Royale returning to Al Mazrah across the remainder of the season.
As a reminder, we will continue to rotate modes in and out of the Playlist on a weekly basis.
For regular updates about the Playlist and other Scheduled Events, check out the dedicated Warzone Trello Board.

Starting with Resurgence Trios, the map will rotate every 15 minutes between Ashika Island and Vondel. This feature will give players an opportunity to enjoy the wide offering of maps and modes that Warzone has. We will closely monitor this feature and may look to expand upon it in future.

We want to provide a hard counter to Ghost to offer more variety in the rock-paper-scissors encounters of Battle Royale and open up more play styles.
All Maps | Battle Royale
We have seen an increase in players staying in an airborne state to exploit the aerial advantage in order to obtain a better final placement. We feel this goes against the spirit of a Battle Royale experience, so by lowering the redeployment height with each circle closure we will see a better representation of fairness between being airborne vs. being on the ground.
