With the arrival of the Festive Fervor event, Warzone devs have addressed several issues with the December 16 update. This update has adjusted audio, removed Bombing Runs, and fixed some other major issues. Here are the full December 16 update patch notes.

Warzone’s Festive Fervor event is here, where players can earn some Holiday-themed rewards while hunting down Krampus and completing other objectives. Raven Software marked the occasion with the December 16 update patch notes.

Raven have made plenty of changes and bug fixes to the battle royale, so here’s everything you need to know about the December 16 update patch notes.

Warzone Pacific player in Caldera

Warzone players have been complaining about Caldera’s ambient sound, where the aerial battle overhead can conceal, or be mistaken for, enemy footsteps. Raven said that “ambient sound effects have been adjusted,” so we’ll need to wait and see how much of an impact that has made.

Also, there was a bizarre glitch where Vanguard’s Kar98k would become semi-automatic with the Shrouded Perk, and Raven Software have confirmed they have fixed the issue. Plus, the Bombing Runs that would land in random locations and stun players have now been removed.
