The Warzone March 22 patch notes have brought a handful of changes into the battle royale.

With Season 3 moving into view, Raven Software continues to apply changes to the main Call of Duty battle royale to ensure a somewhat level playing field is maintained throughout a match. With the Warzone arsenal continuing to expand, balance is the key to an exciting meta.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue that allowed the Irradiated Perk to plate through any source of damage. It will now correctly only plate through gas damage.

That's all of the changes from the Warzone March 22 patch notes. It's a small update that won't require a download which is great news for those planning on dropping into the action to see how the changes have impacted the two weapons.
