Call of Duty have rolled out a new update for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 on August 31. The patch notes highlight the developers’ efforts to address ongoing issues in both games through a range of bug fixes introduced in Season 5 Reloaded.

After the somewhat intricate launch of Season 5 Reloaded, a fresh update for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 was rolled out on August 31. This update gave developers another chance to address several issues, ensuring that players could fully relish the new season’s content in both the battle royale and MW2’s multiplayer.

With the Season 5 Reloaded update, an annoying glitch would regularly trap players in the menu, making it impossible to fully access the game. Another issue prevented players from choosing a customized weapon from the Armory, while an exploit enabled players to achieve flight while using boats.

Here are the full patch notes for the August 31 update so you can take a look at all of the bug fixes across both Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.
