Following up on February 24's Warzone update, Raven Software has added a small tidbit that will affect Call of Duty: Warzone's Season 2 which will tackle a plethora of bug fixes, nerf the XM4 (BOCW) and make some adjustments to the Vanguard Royale mode.

These included a new vehicle, Nebula V Ammo and Bombs, two new POIs, namely the Chemical Factory and the Underground Chemical Weapon Research Labs, and more. This means that there's been a lot for players to play with since its release on February 14.

But as with any new Warzone season, some tweaks need to be made. With that in mind, here are the patch notes for the March 2 Warzone update.
