Warzone Season 4 released on June 14. With the update comes new content, balance updates, and bug fixes. To get a strong start to the season, here are a few key details that should help any gamer to dominate Vondel and its new season. For all Warzone Season 4 Patch Notes, players can find them on the official Call of Duty website.

The new and limited-time event: Assault on Vondel

The assault of the new map Vondel will be their first community event in which players can secure and restore the city by earning medals and completing the community and mastery challenges.

  • Community Challenges: All Players must work together to gather medals through classic challenges, unlocking the following:
    • Taxi Boat and Trams
    • Reinforcement Flare Field Upgrade
    • Favorite Supply Box
    • New Tonfa Melee Weapon.
  • Mastery Challenges: Individual challenges that are directly tied to a cosmetic reward while also contributing to the Community Challenge. The most efficient way to get all cosmetic rewards is to land on Vondel, but playing across the game is also supported.

New and limited-time mode: Lockdown Vondel | In-Season

Inspired by the Multiplayer mode Hardpoint. Rather than the usual competition of being the last squad standing, the new mode Lockdown will task teams with capturing and holding zones around Vondel. The game will conclude when the first team reaches the score limit and wins.

  • Key Highlights:
    • Objective-based gameplay
    • Allows for Custom Loadouts right at the start of the match
    • Frequent engagements

Maximum health increase

The base Player Health has been increased to 100 to 150, allowing maximum health up to 300 for a Player with full Armor Plates.

This major update will slow Time to Kill speed roughly by 20%, giving the Players a chance to escape more gunfights. This will also bring Players to brush up on their aim and force them to land more shots because of the accuracy it will take to eliminate enemies.

This officially means that the number of bullets to down a Player has increased. The update has also increased the time to regenerate full health, allowing Players to exploit on the damage done, providing an upgrade on value to the stim tactical.

These new additions apply to all maps and all modes in Warzone Season 04, including Ranked Play and DMZ.

More Adjustments in Gameplay

  • Armor Plates | Quality of Life
    • Players will automatically pick up 9 Armor Plates – 3 in the active Loadout slot and 2 full stacks in the Backpack. Players will have to manually pick up Armor Plates beyond that threshold to create more stacks in their Backpack.
  • Armor Box | Quality of Life
    • Players will now receive a fixed number of 6 Armor Plates from Armor Boxes regardless of how many they already have.
  • Munitions Box | Quality of Life
    • Players will now receive a fixed stack of Weapon ammo from Munitions Boxes regardless of how much they already have.
    • To clarify, Lethal and Tactical Equipment will still only Refill to the maximum the Player can hold in their active Loadout slots.
  • Vehicle Fuel
    • Gas Cans will now drain a percentage of total Gas while refueling a Vehicle.
    • You can now siphon Gas out of a Vehicle using a Gas Can.
    • Rather than catching fire when out of fuel, the Heavy Chopper will now drop out of the air.

The Armor Box and Munitions Box upgrades are designed to improve the gameplay loop. Previously Players would have to remember to drop their Armor Plates and Ammo in order to fill them. Now Players are awarded the maximum amount regardless of the current number.

Reconnect Feature Confirmed (Beta)

Players that experience a client crash on their device will be able to rejoin their match within a four-minute time frame.

  • Criteria Needed to Rejoin:
    • Players must have at least 1 Squad member remaining alive.
      • This does not apply to Solo Playlists.
    • There must be at least 5 Squads remaining in the match.
  • Note:
    • Playlist updates that go live during a match in progress will prevent Players from using the Rejoin feature.
  • Known Issues:
    • Last remaining teammate disconnecting may result in an undesirable spectator experience while the final teammate attempts to reconnect. 
    • Rejoining while still in the Driver seat of a vehicle will remove the player’s hands. Can be resolved by switching weapons.
    • The functionality of Rejoin in Ranked Play is detailed in the Ranked Play section below.

Enemy NPC Combatants Removed from active Strongholds

Though Players still have to fight enemy bots at Blacksite locations, they no longer have to worry about AI ruining their chances to capture Strongholds during Battle Royale. Not only that, but the update also makes it possible for Players to redeem a Stronghold that has been captured by another squad.

Warzone Season 4 Patch Notes Weapon Balancing

These changes to Player Health and the application of Armor Damage ultimately result in the Time to Kill feeling slower, more consistent, and more predictable at every engagement distance.

While a select few Weapons are listed below, it is important to note that most Weapons will see their effectiveness altered as a result of the change to Armor Damage. For now, we will be retiring the term “Armor Damage” and any future changes that are Warzone specific will be followed by “Warzone Only.”
