Patch notes for Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3 have been released by Activision and Raven Software, and they reveal a number of major changes for the battle royale game. As a result, players can expect to see new locations, bug fixes, and a number of general improvements. Of course, the thing players are likely looking forward to the most is the Godzilla and Kong-related content, but that won’t be arriving until May 11th. However, it seems there will be plenty to keep players busy in the meantime. Full patch notes from the game’s official website can be found below:

XP Tokens can now be activated from in-game through the menu.
Players will be given a vehicle target somewhere on the map. Destruction of the target will be rewarded with an Armored Truck Deployment via plane. Be warned, this Armored Truck can just as easily become someone else’s…
These zones are represented on the Tac Map by a very appropriate “$” sign and will provide the best looting opportunities. These zones will be complimented by Rebirth Supply Boxes that will provide recurring loot opportunities.
Will no longer interrupt a falling Player, thus allowing them to still be able to pull their parachute when falling to preserve their life.
Won’t play animation when the Player is ADS and affected by the gas from Nebula V Rounds
Timer reduction via the following…
Eliminating opponents reduces the timer by 20 seconds
Opening Supply Boxes reduces the timer by 5 seconds
We want this to be a Contract that both promotes and rewards aggressive play.
Players can no longer use the Tac Map to ping an enemy Most Wanted target directly.We felt this method was unfairly punishing and provided too great a degree of accuracy that was almost impossible to be countered by the target.
The refresh rate of the Most Wanted target on the Tac Map has been increased, to counterbalance the removal of the above ping.This brings balance and still allows tracking of the approximate location of the target.

Speed increase to Tac Map refresh rateThis is especially noticeable when a target is in a vehicle to better inform Players that a vehicle chase may be required.
This is especially noticeable when a target is in a vehicle to better inform Players that a vehicle chase may be required.
When a Player pings a Deployable Buy Station, there will now be dedicated audio/narration to better inform squad mates of the Players’ intentions.
Players who redeploy via Gulag victory or are bought back will now spawn in close proximity to their squad or Loadout.

Removed the damage reduction scaling system that was based on ground distance
System is disabled if a Player is near the ground or an opponent
Players who have the shield icon will only take a flat 25% of the damage received
Spawn protection will no longer reduce gas circle damage
We’ve enjoyed the engagement Players have been having with the Weapon Trade Station and the Specialist Token reward, but felt it was slightly on the high side so have made a reduction.
We found it a bit annoying to pick up loot after you traded your weapon so we’ve polished this moment. The system will now always look for an empty space when dropping your rewards
We are looking to bring in additional audio improvements to footsteps during the season as a priority.
We have heard from our community that the camera lock that can occasionally happen while sliding down a vertical descent can be frustrating and lead to a negative outcome in a combat encounter. We are pleased to announce that this will be addressed soon.
