Season 6 multiplayer game mode adjustments:
Season 6 multiplayer weapon balancing nerfs popular guns:
The Season 6 update provides a significant nerf to Season 5’s powerful STG-44 assault rifle. This includes an 8% decrease to the maximum damage, a 17% reduction to the maximum damage range, a 14% decrease to the near-medium damage range, and a 13% reduction to the medium damage range.
With these changes, the developer says that the STG44 is no longer capable of a three-shot kill within its maximum damage range.
Another major nerf impacts Season 5’s Static-HV submachine gun. The weapon was adjusted with a 9% decrease to maximum damage, and a 7% reduction to both the medium damage and near-medium damage. The developer says that within its maximum damage range, the Static-HV is no longer capable of a four-shot kill without a headshot
Season 6 adds small fixes for zombie mode:
Zombies wrapped up the final story mission in Season 5, so there are very few changes for the mode.
The update provides fixes for an issue that previously caused shock sticks to prevent the Entity boss-fight encounter from progressing, and it corrects a bug that previously caused a crash to occur when throwing a spear at a Hellhound.
Previously, the Reclaimer 18 shotgun wouldn’t deal damage to mercenary enemy types if the weapon was equipped with the JAK Devastators conversion kit, but the developer says this issue is also resolved.
Season 6 adds new Warzone Rewards challenges:
A new season of Warzone includes more of the seasonal challenges for unlocking new camos. There are four categories of challenges as detailed below. Each challenge will offer a small reward for completion, but completing a full category will reward players with a new camo.
- Combat Expertise: Acquire your Loadout and get hunting. Earn rewards for taking the fight to the enemy and surviving to the end.
- Cooperation: Assemble your squad, work together to eliminate enemies, and share your Cash.
