The next major title update for Raven Software's Warzone is finally out and there's a lot content to be excited about. Black Ops Cold War once again lends its weapons and Operators to flesh out the update, but there are some Warzone-specific things worth mentioning. Here's everything you need to know.
LATEST - Season 5 Update Is Bigger Than Meets the Eye
The Season 5 update for Warzone is adding a lot of new content. You can check out everything you need to know about the new Operators and new weapons here. Those aren't the most important additions this time around though, because Raven Software is adding Warzone-exclusive Perks for the first time.
This isn't what we expected and it could mean the start of a resurgence in the importance of Warzone's update. For the entirety of Black Ops Cold War's lifetime, it seems like Warzone has been a second thought to Activision. However, this could be about to change with the introduction of Combat Scout and Tempered.
Combat Scout: "Damaging an enemy briefly highlights the foe in bright orange and automatically pings them..."
Tempered: " Tempered allows each Armor Plate to absorb 75 points of damage instead of the standard 50, but an Operator will only be able to wear two at a time instead of three."
Only time will tell if they play a big part in the Warzone meta.
