Call of Duty: Warzone Secretly Makes Big Change to Solos

Barring any unforeseen delays,Call of Duty: Warzoneis consistently updated every Tuesday, and this week was no different.Call of Duty: Warzonereceived an update on Tuesday, April 14 that made some changes to the battle royale, but not all of the changes were detailed in the patch notes. This includes a rather big change to Solos inCall of Duty: Warzone, as pointed out by Raven Software creative director Amos Hodge.

Call of Duty: Warzonehas removed theArmored Trucksfrom Solos as of the latest update. According to Hodge, the purpose of this is to tone down the “vehicle meta” that is currently dominating the game. For the uninitiated, many players inCall of Duty: Warzonehave started using Armored Trucks almost exclusively, as they are notoriously overpowered and can guarantee some easy kills in the battle royale.

One reason why Armored Trucks were only removed fromWarzoneSolosmay have to do with loadout drops.Call of Duty: Warzoneloadout drops cost $10,000 no matter which mode is being played, which is an amount of in-game cash that’s much harder to come by for solo players. This means that those playingWarzoneSolos won’t as easily be able to get their hands on the specific weapons that can counter the Armored Trucks, like rocket launchers.

OtherCall of Duty: Warzonevehicles remain in Solos, so players can still use helicopters, ATVs, and more, they just no longer have an Armored Truck at their disposal. And considering how controversial Armored Trucks have been inCall of Duty: Warzoneso far, it will be interesting to see if Infinity Ward andRaven Softwareultimately decide to remove them from other battle royale playlists, or at least make less of them spawn on the map.

In future, it’s possibleCall of Duty: Warzonewill receive more updates with the goal of better-balancing vehicles in the game.Warzonereceives weekly updates after all, and the developers are constantly tweaking things to make the game more balanced.

Of course,Call of Duty: Warzonefans have a lot more to look forward to in the battle royale than just balance changes. As theWarzoneSeason 3 road mapshows, new weapons are on the way as well, and more information on that front should be made available in the coming weeks.

Call of Duty: Warzoneis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
