Imagine an update comes and no one notices. This has now happened in Warzone where a patch has adjusted several Perks.

With Warzone’s Season 2 Reloaded update, developer Raven Software has also brought a few changes to the game that weren’t documented in the patch notes. We tell you what has changed.

Sherlock JGOD & Dr. TrueGameData investigate

With the Season 2 Reloaded update on March 23, developer Raven Software made a secret adjustment to five Perks. What no one noticed at first, Warzone experts JGOD and TrueGameData noticed days ago. Who else but these two could reveal a hidden change to the Perks in Warzone. Almost simultaneously, both sent out tweets with the results of their tests.

TrueGameData – Geist (Ghost)

Ghost, Scavenger and Co.

Five different perks have been tweaked, some of which have a massive impact on the gameplay:

Looter

  • The ammo pouch now has a cyan outline for those who have equipped looters.
  • Distraction time increased from 20 seconds to 60 seconds.
  • The ammo pouch now gives an extra armour plate, in addition to the previous items.

Replenish

  • Reload time reduced from 50 seconds to 25 seconds.
  • Stim now has a 60 second timer to reduce spam and gas abuse.
  • The incorrect text “50s” will be updated in a future update.

KRD

  • KRD reduces the damage or limits the damage, whichever is higher.
  • Upper limit for blast damage increased from 80 to 200.
  • Damage reduction increased from 35% to 45%.

Patch Up

Placing an armour plate now starts the regeneration of health.

Spirit

  • The stealth effect of Geist is now only applied when the player is moving.
  • Players can observe this by the arrow representing their operator on the mini-map, which is hidden when Geist is active.
  • A text update will come in the future to reflect these changes

Updated tooltip text for the following perks:

  • Untwist
  • Firing Chain
  • Point Friend
  • Hardliner

After JGOD and TrueGameData published their findings, Raven Software also confirmed the changes on their Twitter account. Furthermore, the developers said that the changes are only the beginning of what is to come in Season 3.
