In a brand-new Warzone Pacific update released on 17th December, Raven Software took more steps to improve the battle royale experience on Caldera.
Bombing runs removed from Caldera
The removal of bombing runs should be considered a welcome change. For those who haven't played Warzone Pacific, bombing runs drop random stun bombs from the sky onto players' locations, with the goal of keeping players moving.
While it sounds great in practice, bombing runs have been an annoyance for many players, while others took advantage of this feature to pinpoint the location of enemies.
Raven Software announced this news in an updated patch notes post with one short but sweet line: "The Bombing Runs over the Caldera have come to a halt. No more reported sightings."
Warzone Pacific 17th December patch notes
Apart from Raven Software putting bombing runs over Caldera to a stop, the developer also ambient sound effects in the 17th December update.
Players have been struggling to hear footsteps thanks to a bombardment of sounds since the launch of Warzone Pacific Season 1, so this should be a welcome change. The developers also reduced the initial and scaling rewards for the [TOP SECRET] Contract.
Apart from these changes, there are also several bug fixes in the latest Warzone Pacific update.
