Raven Software pushed a new update for Call of Duty: Warzone in the very early hours of Dec. 15, offering bug fixes and tweaks to new Vanguard weapons.

The highlight of this late-night update is some nerfs to the Automaton, one of Caldera’s earliest meta weapons that’s found extreme popularity among players across the world in Warzone Pacific.

🛠️ A #Warzone update has gone live!

Includes Bug Fixes and Weapon adjustments!

The assault rifle has had its recoil increased along with some adjustments to its magazines. The 6.5mm Sakura 75 Round Drums and 8mm Klauser Rifle 50 Round Mags have had their movement speed and ADS move speed decreased.

The long list of bug fixes in the patch includes a fix for collision issues allowing players to peek or shoot through walls and rocks, a problem with framerate drops, and an issue that was allowing players to drop in prematurely.

Raven also promised an update from Call of Duty’s anti-cheat team, Team RICOCHET, sometime later today. The kernel-level driver part of the new measure aimed at curbing cheaters rolled out in the Asia Pacific region last week.
