The biggest feature of this very targeted Warzone update is, of course, the latest attempt to curb the ongoing war against Stim glitches. In what was the fifth or sixth iteration of the glitch—depending on who one talks to—players could essentially cycle through frag and gas grenades in order to trick the game into giving them unlimited Tactical Equipment. The maneuver was fairly similar to other Stim glitches we’ve seen in the past, but it shouldn’t function anymore once this latest update is installed. Secondary to that is the long-awaited adjustment to broken reloads for certain weapons as well. After today’s patch, Black Ops Cold War weapons shouldn’t have a slight negative impact on reloads and sprinting like they used to.
The fixes found in update 1.31 arrive during a turbulent few weeks for Warzone. On top of the ongoing fight against Stim glitchers, the game’s developers at Raven Software also had to confront criticism from competitive players who have quit playing due to an abundance of hacking in standard lobbies. While Activision made waves earlier this week by banning as many as 60,000 hacker accounts, today’s update corrects negative player perception even further by addressing the smaller plosh-based problems that have cropped up. Most Warzone players would agree the game is still a bit of a mess, but this small update should make your matches slightly less messy.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
