If you’re interested to see the specifics of the changes itself, being the new changes to the map, new vehicles and weapons, you can check out our article on the Warzone Season 2 Road Map first.
Changes to Battle Royale
Battle Royale will see some changes. The economy has had a lot of their prices revamped, while the weapons you find on the ground have also been rebalanced, making some easier or harder to find. The current public events for Battle Royale are Supply Choppers, Fire Sale and Jailbreak, with the current contracts in rotation being Recon, Bounty, Scavenger, Supply Run and Most Wanted.
Another big change is that Dead Silence is now classified as ‘Legendary’ orange loot, making it a little harder to come by. The final circle will now also be less likely to end on the peak of Caldera. Finally, the new patch has disabled Planes in solo queue in all modes (for now).
