Now Playing: Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 – "Plunder Is Back !" Gameplay Trailer
Warzone 2’s Ranked Play was previously filled with players abusing smoke grenades and certain thermal optics, as the attachments weren’t able to be countered by the Cold-Blooded perk. This new update works to address this with an entire list of thermal scopes being banned, which the developer states were being restricted due to them having too significant an impact on competitive play.
These restrictions include the follow optic attachments:
SZ HolothermVX350 Thermal OpticTeplo-op3 ScopeThermo-Optic X9Teplo Clear ShotDrexsom Prime-90
The patch notes also mention restrictions for the overpowered cluster mines and bomb drone killstreaks. These streaks will no longer be found in Ranked Play matches.
On the DMZ side, the update addresses an issue that could sometimes cause the doors to the stairwell to not unlock if players killed the Vulture boss before the Rusher in Koschei Complex. It also adds a callout to indicate when the Rhinoceros boss is regenerating health.
The full patch notes for May 24 can be found below, as shared by Activision.
