A new patch is now available for Call of Duty: Warzone, while Activision has also said it is considering its options for the Hunt for Adler event due to issues that prevented some players from completing it.
One of the biggest changes for the new patch is that it eliminates the out-of-bounds glitches that players could previously take advantage of. As many videos displayed, players could relatively easily get below the map and pick off players who never saw them coming.

This new patch also reduces the size of the first and second gas circles for Verdansk Resurgence, while it shuts off mic support at the end of matches for modes with respawning.
As for the Hunt for Adler event, the new update fixes a bug that could cause the game to fail to properly track the challenge. The update also addresses an issue that could cause Intel to spawn outside the playable area. Due to these issues, and others, some people have been unable to complete the Hunt for Adler event and earn the special rewards.
Developer Raven Software said on Twitter that it wants to give everyone “ample opportunity” to finish the challenges, so it’s considering “several options” for how to do so. The simplest solution sounds like it could be to extend the duration of the event, but Raven said it will share more information later.
Looking ahead, Activision previewed some changes coming to weapon balance in a future update. The CR-56 AMAX, FARA 83, and Bullfrog are all getting unspecified balance changes, while the ADS firing speed for Cold War attachments will be changed as well.
