A new Call of Duty update goes live this week and adds a ton of exciting content before Season 5. Although much of the update adds multiplayer modes such as Shoot the Ship 24/7, Sniper Gunfights, and Reinfected Ground War, Warzone will also add a new game mode.
The update adds Duos Stimulus, which allows players to return to the fight if enough cash is held when eliminated. Instead of taking a trip to the Gulag, the eliminated player will be redeployed. Players all start with $4500, which is the amount required to redeploy.
Much of the time, players use the money to purchase upgrades, so the challenge is to gather and maintain the amount needed to redeploy. Duos is a popular playlist after being requested heavily by players since Warzone's release and requires so much strategy that Activision has provided tips for winning duo matches.
Duos Stimulus will require even more strategy, as players may be redeploying from the sky at a much higher rate. Money will also be more of a focus in order to redeploy and players will have to keep one partner alive to prevent elimination. The previous update replaced Trios Stimulus with Plunder, so the Stimulus playlist is making a comeback in the form of duos. Warzone has released a good amount of updates and playlist changes so that players are always experiencing different matches. However, despite the many updates, bugs are still a lingering problem within Warzone.
The developers are not taking the bugs lightly, as many of them are being addressed and the developers have even listed Warzone bugs being worked on. Some bugs are listed as fixed and waiting for an update, so it is possible many of the bugs have been addressed in the latest update. However, with such a quick update since the previous one, more bugs may arise due to limited testing before the update's release. Although bugs are affecting the game, players are still enjoying the quick releases of new content.
All of the base Warzone playlists are currently available, from Solo to Quads playlists. Quads Plunder is also available so players can enjoy the fast-paced madness that Plunder holds. As the countdown to Season 5 continues, Warzone is still adding playlists and hopefully will address many of the requests of players as the next season approaches.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
