Warzone Update Fixes Pre-Game Loadout Exploit Introduced in Season 3 Reloaded
Raven Software, the developer behind Call of Duty: Warzone, has released a small update on May 5 to patch a popular exploit that allowed players to drop their custom loadouts in the pre-game lobby and retrieve them once the match started
The mid-season update brought two new multiplayer maps, a Directed Mode for the Shattered Veil Zombies map, and the “High Art” event. The event, running through May 15, offers new rewards including the Ladra SMG, a Mini-Rocket kit for the Goblin Mk2, and more.
Warzone Update Fixes Pre-Game Exploit Allowing Early Loadout Drops
With Warzone‘s Season 3 Reloaded update introducing numerous changes, a significant exploit emerged, allowing players to drop their custom loadouts in the pre-game lobby and retrieve them once the match began. For many players, securing a custom loadout early can be a game-changer, so this exploit provided a considerable advantage. Fortunately, Raven Software addressed the issue with a May 5 update, which now prevents players from dropping loadouts during the pre-game lobby.
While some players focused on the bugs and glitches that came with Season 3 Reloaded, others debated the return of exterior rooftop ascenders, which were part of Verdansk in Season 5 but were absent from the map when it returned with Season 3. Ascenders allow players to quickly scale certain buildings, adding a strategic element to gameplay. While some players felt their absence improved the game, others appreciated the tactical option they provided.
Another point of contention is the new “High Art” event, which brought psychedelic-themed content to Warzone and Black Ops 6, including the addition of Hollywood actor Seth Rogen as a new operator. While the event offers exciting rewards and modes, many players have expressed frustration with the weed-themed cosmetic items and operators, feeling the trend is growing tiresome.
