UPDATE: The full Call of Duty Warzone patch notes for today’s Season 4 update can be found at the bottom of this article and contain the latest on what guns have been nerfed, and what new modes to expect during the remaining weeks of July.
ORIGINAL: For fans wanting to know more about today’s big Warzone update, there will be plenty being shared by developers Treyarch in the coming hours. The first COD patch notes can be found at the bottom of this article covering the new weapon rebalancing, UI changes, and bug fixes.
We already have the headlines, including what new weapons, modes and items will be making their debut on July 15 in Warzone.
A new Call of Duty Sentry Gun Killstreak looks set to create all kinds of mayhem in Verdansk, especially in the final circle.
Gamers will be able to set up the automated rapid-fire turret in most locations and scans in a near-180-degree radius in front of itself to seek and destroy enemies.
It executes this pattern for at least a minute after deployment before collapsing via the normal harmless explosion used in Warzone.
But while the Sentry Gun could prove to be the winning decoy to secure the final elimination, it will only be found as an extremely rare Legendary item drop within a Red Door room Supply Box.
So while the Sentry Gun will be an incredible tool to have, it won’t be easy to find and use in every match.
The OTs 9 SMG will be a new machine gun that will be available to unlock later today and could be another big game-changer.
We don’t know how big an impact it will have but Activision describes it as a weapon that boasts solid damage at a high fire-rate, and can be compared to the Bullfrog in terms of damage and fire rate.
The downside will be the 40-round maximum ammo round available in a clip but it could still prove to be popular after it arrives.
More changes to weapons are expected to be confirmed in today’s patch notes, including what is being nerfed and what is getting a buff.
But until we have access to the full Warzone Season 4 patch notes, here’s the early news shared by Treyarch this week:
GAMEPLAY
Loot that spawns across Verdansk has been adjusted as follows…
New Gulag loadouts
The Sentry Gun Killstreak can be found in Red Door Control Rooms
The Specialist Token is now slightly more common in core BR
Combat Bow Killstreak damage has been increased and it will now down enemies who are directly hit.
Players will now drop their current equipment directly behind them when looting a Loadout Drop.
Vertical camera movement will no longer be locked when sliding on a downward slope.
Dirt Bike Updates:
Wheelies!
Lean back to lift the Dirt Bike and initiate a wheelie.
Lean forward to increase steering sensitivity and allow the Dirt Bike to perform sharper turns.
The Dirt Bike now supports leaning forward and backward in the air as well, so make sure to position yourself for that perfect landing.
We are excited to share that we are planning the debut of two new Warzone-specific Perks. Alongside them, High Alert will also be receiving an update that allows players to hear Dead Silent footsteps.
SOCIAL
New Social Menu Tabs: Recent Squad and Recent Lobby
Added two new tabs to the Social Menu to display recent squad mates and recent game lobby members so that Players can more easily find, friend, and play with their recent team members.
Other Players that the Player interacted with during a match will be automatically sorted to the top of the Recent Lobby list to make it easier to report instances of cheating and/or toxicity even after the match has ended.
The following new features focus on three primary areas of accessibility: Hard of Hearing, Blind/Low-Vision, and Cognitive Overload.
Text Chat Behavior (Time On Screen): Added a new accessibility option to change the visibility duration of incoming messages. Players can adjust the length of time that the text chat widget stays on screen when a new message is received. This feature is intended to support Hard of Hearing and Cognitive Overload Accessibility.
Players can choose their desired text chat behavior from the following options:
Off: The text chat will never show on the HUD for new messages
Default: When new messages are received, the text chat will stay on screen for 3 seconds. This is the legacy behavior that has been in use in Warzone.
Medium: When new messages are received, the text chat will stay on screen for 15 seconds.
Long: When new messages are received, the text chat will stay on screen for 30 seconds.
Extended: When new messages are received, the text chat will stay on screen for 60 seconds.
This setting can be found by opening the Accessibility Options Menu and selecting Text Chat Behavior (Time On Screen) under the Visuals tab.
Alternatively, this setting can be found by opening the Options Menu and selecting Text Chat Behavior (Time On Screen) under the General tab.
Advanced Text Chat Behavior (Time On Screen): The advanced version of the Text Chat Behavior (Time On Screen) accessibility option allows Players to customize the visibility duration of incoming messages according to message type. In other words, Players can choose different visibility durations for Player Messages compared to System Messages. In addition, Players can select Always On Screen to prevent the text chat element from fading from the HUD.
This can be accessed by navigating to the Text Chat Behavior (Time On Screen) option and selecting the “Advanced” button underneath.
Players can choose their desired text chat visibility duration for incoming Player messages (only) with the Player Messages Behavior setting.
Players can choose their desired text chat visibility duration for incoming system messages (only) with the System Messages Behavior setting.
Both of these settings provide the following options to choose from:
Off: The text chat will never show on the HUD for new messages
Default: When new messages are received, the text chat will stay on screen for 3 seconds. This is the legacy behavior that has been in use in Warzone.
Medium: When new messages are received, the text chat will stay on screen for 15 seconds.
Long: When new messages are received, the text chat will stay on screen for 30 seconds.
Extended: When new messages are received, the text chat will stay on screen for 60 seconds.
Always On Screen: This setting is accessed from the Advanced Text Chat Behavior (Time On Screen) option. When enabled, the text chat widget will stay permanently on-screen while in-game. This setting is intended to support Cognitive Overload and Blind/Low-Vision Accessibility by eliminating the need for rapid peripheral visual localization and language processing of a temporary HUD element under time pressure.
New Message Sound Alert: Added a new accessibility option to enable sound alerts when receiving new messages. This feature is intended to support Blind/Low-Vision Accessibility by providing a second channel for information communication – adding the sound alert allows Players to have an audio cue for new messages rather than only a visual cue. This setting applies in-game as well as in the front-end.
Players can choose from the following options to customize which messages they’d like to receive d sound alerts for:
Disabled: (Default) No audio cue will be played when new messages are received.
Player Messages Only: An audio cue is played when new messages are received from other Players.
System Messages Only: An audio cue is played when new system messages are received.
Both: An audio cue is played when any new message is received, including party chat and system messages.
This can be found by navigating to the Visuals tab within the Accessibility Options Menu and selecting New Message Sound Alert. Alternatively, this setting can also be found by navigating to the Options Menu, going to the General tab, and selecting New Message Sound Alert.

BLUEPRINT BLITZ
Ahead of Season Four Reloaded, we’re here to warn you that the Warzone can, and will, turn into a Blueprint Blitz.
Similar to Double XP weekends, Raven Software is planning to activate a new special global event where Contraband Contracts automatically spawn after you complete two regular Contracts. Contraband Contracts award you with a permanent Weapon Blueprint reward if you’re able to extract it from the DZ, in addition to tons of Cash within your current match.
WARZONE GIFTING
There is plenty more that will be included in Season Four Reloaded for Warzone, which Raven is set to cover in its patch notes blog. But for now, one more important update is the introduction of Battle Pass and Store Bundle Gifting feature from Black Ops Cold War.
