Call of Duty: Warzone patch notes have been released, with changes made and bugs resolved in the hopes of improving the quality of the esports scene.

Call of Duty: Warzone patch notes
The Call of Duty update officially launched on May 13th, marking the second update since Season 3 reloaded came into the game at the beginning of the month.
So far in Season 3 there has been lots of complaints about a movement bug but the issue has since been resolved in the latest update. The issue led to slower aiming when targeting enemies close range.
Esports players benefit from the quicker movement especially in close combat and along with the vertical movement which was restored in the initial May update, Warzone players can have much faster battles.
Another minor bug that has been fixed was the revive times in the battle royal game. There had been problems with times differing between players which gave some enemies slight advantage when attacking.
Ranked Play gets updated
With Call of Duty: Warzone returning to Verdansk in the previous update, ranked play has seen a significant boost in activity with an even more competitive feel.

There has been a new public event launched within the update as a Restock event takes place of the fire Sale that usually comes midway through rounds.
With the Restock being added, Buy Stations will no longer give out discounts on items in the shop which gives in-game currency more value.
