As we wave goodbye to Verdansk, players are jumping into the sunny new Caldera<\/a> map, engaging in dogfights (thanks to the new Fighter Jets<\/a>), testing out the 40 new weapons<\/a> from Call of Duty: Vanguard, Gulag changes<\/a> and much more. It goes without saying that the Warzone Pacific Season 1<\/a> update is mammoth in scale. <\/p>\n

Due to the size of the update, many players might not notice gameplay changes to, for example, their favourite Tactical or Lethal item.<\/p>\n

While extensive weapon balance changes<\/a> are coming “soon”, developer Raven Software has made several gameplay adjustments with the Warzone Pacific Season 1 update, so let’s dive in because knowing is half the battle in Caldera.<\/p>\n

Warzone Pacific general gameplay adjustments<\/h2>\n

If you loved purchasing a UAV from a Buy Station for $4,000, then we’ve got some bad news for you. In the official patch notes<\/a> from Raven Software, general gameplay adjustments for Warzone Pacific Season 1 have been outlined, including an increased purchase price of $6,000 for a UAV.<\/p>\n

Check out all the general gameplay adjustments for Warzone Pacific Season 1 below.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The Stopping Power Field Upgrade has been removed from loot.<\/li>\n
  • The Gulag will now allow the victor to redeploy with the Weapon(s) and equipment that remain at the end of the duel.<\/li>\n
  • Buy Station – UAVs now cost $6,000, up from $4,000 when available.<\/li>\n
  • Loadout Drop Markers – These can only be purchased at Buy Stations after the first free<\/li>\n
  • Loadout Drop Public Event has taken place.
    This change only affects Vanguard Royale and Battle Royale.<\/li>\n
  • Dead Silence – This Field Upgrade will now refresh on the first kill only, with reduced drop rates found in loot. <\/li>\n
  • Melee and non-Melee Weapons will now require at least three hits to achieve Melee Finisher damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Raven Software also noted that they will continue to monitor the strength of the Dead Silence Field Upgrade over the first Warzone Pacific season. <\/p>\n

    Lethal and Tactical equipment changes<\/h2>\n

    With the Warzone Pacific Season 1 update, most Lethal equipment has become, well, more lethal. The developers also made some interesting changes to Tactical equipment so players have a wider variety of options to choose from while remaining competitive.<\/p>\n

    • Throwing Knife<\/strong> – Damage increased to 250, up from 200, on hits to Upper Torso and Headshots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Tactical equipment changes<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Decoy Grenade<\/strong> – Will now fire rubber bullets with a chance to hit nearby enemies dealing 1 point of damage.<\/li>\n
      • Heartbeat Sensor<\/strong> – Pulse time increased to 6 seconds, up from 3 seconds.<\/li>\n
      • Snapshot Grenade<\/strong> – Detection radius increased to 28 meters, up from 14 meters.<\/li>\n

      • Stun Grenade<\/strong> – Stun duration decreased to 2.5\/4.5 seconds, down from 4.7\/5.5 seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The developer explains why they made these changes to Tactical equipment in the Warzone Pacific Season 1 update: “With these changes, our goal is to provide Players with a range of viable Tactical Equipment to choose from, rather than feeling disadvantaged for exploring outside of the commonly accepted choices – notably Stuns, Heartbeat Sensor, and Flash Grenades.”<\/p>\n
