Perhaps the most significant addition is the increased player count of 200 players for the battle royale. For now, it is only applicable to Battle Royale Quads, which means that 50 Quads will jump to Verdansk at once.
Supply supply contracts are also directed at Warzone. After activating the contract, players must arrive at a nearby purchasing station within the time limit to obtain a discount on purchases from the purchasing station.
A new piece of equipment, the Spotter Scope, awaits Warzone players. It is a high-powered, reusable viewfinder without the flare, allowing you to scan your surroundings and mark enemies while remaining undetected.
Additionally, the Gulag will receive semi-automatic rifles, snipers, and a “fists-only and throwing knife” melee charge. BR Trios, BR Duos, BR Solos, and Plunder: Blood Money are the other Warzone modes available.
A new sniper rifle, the Rytec AMR, and a new Operator, Roze, will also join the multiplayer and the battle royale, despite the fact that the patch notes do not mention them.
