With Season 4 Reloaded underway, Warzone players are getting to grips with everything the mid-season update has to offer. Another dose of buffs and nerfs have created a drastic shift in the meta and to continue the changes, the Warzone July 28 patch notes include further changes.
Less than 24 hours after the mid-season update, Raven Software has applied even more changes to improve the battle royale. Although some fans are encountering error 5476 that's preventing them from loading into the game, some are still mastering the Fortune's Keep map changes.
This particular update could determine the best Warzone sniper rifle as it contains widespread buffs to a number of weapons in the category. With that said, find all of the changes within the Warzone July 28 patch notes in this handy guide breaking down all the notable modifications.
Warzone July 28 Patch Notes
All Snipers are receiving roughly a 35% bonus to their maximum damage range. Lighter rifles, with their damage range builds, will now more reliably cover the typical sight lines found in Rebirth Island and Fortune's Keep.
The goal is to not return to the fastest ADS Snipers being the dominant Weapon in all scenarios - so if things begin to trend that way we will make targeted changes to other statistics of those stand-out Weapons.

Perks
Serpentine
- Damage Reduction decreased to 15%, down from 20%
We’ve seen a positive adoption of Serpentine in Loadouts, and as such average encounter time has crept up. We’re reducing the bonus damage mitigation so that it’s still a valuable perk, but has less of an impact on average TTK. We’ll be watching this space closely and will make further adjustments as necessary.
