Raven is rolling out some major changes to the Warzone meta for Season 4 Reloaded, part of a plan to increase the game’s time-to-kill. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded arrives today, and Raven is introducing some fairly drastic changes to the game to celebrate the occasion.

LMGs, meanwhile, are a more mixed bag; some will see headshot damage multipliers increased whereas others will see ..read more

A cross-platform and practically undetectable Call of Duty: Warzone cheat has been blocked by Activision after the impressive software gained popularity last week. Activision is trying its hardest to prevent the proliferation of advanced cheating software online by eliminating problems before they spread, and as such has forced the developer of the Userviz software to take down the exploit (thanks, Vice). Watch on YouTube Userviz caught the attention of a vigilant anti-cheat group, who called it “the next generation of cheating” in a tweet. The software itself is platform-agnostic – wor ..read more

After somehow spawning a door that was lethal to players, Raven has introduced a new Call of Duty: Warzone patch that nerfs the popular MG 82 and fixes the scary door. On Monday, we saw that an innocuous Salt Mines door was killing players, for some reason. This clearly wasn’t supposed to be happening and may have been tied to the Red Door fast travel system that was introduced with Season 4. Now, though, Raven seems to have fixed the issue, and has updated its Season 4 patch notes to reflect the alteration. But that’s not all the ever-tinkering studio has changed. You may have been made awar ..read more

Call of Duty: Warzone seems to have spawned a door that will kill players when they try and pass through it – so you’re probably best off avoiding the Salt Mines for now. Redditor Rxelik has figured out that a specific door in a warehouse in the Salt Mines portion of the map will instantly knock you if you go anywhere near it. The user posted some footage of the offending barrier over on the r/warzone subreddit. Showing solidarity and wanting to prove that The Scary Door is, indeed, deadly, other players flocked to the unlikely landmark to test it out. Lo and behold, they’re also ge ..read more
