Warzone Season 2 Reloaded patch notes released on March 10
Weapon buffs and nerfs
The MXR-17 and Peacekeeper Mk1 assault rifles are seeing some nice improvements in this patch. The MXR-17 now deals slightly more damage at close range, while the Peacekeeper has smoother recoil across multiple attachments.
For SMGs, the Kogot-7 is feeling faster and more versatile with buffs to its fire rate, ADS speed, and range. The Razor 9mm gets a small range boost, and the Carbon 57 benefits from improved recoil control when using the K&S Compensator and Goliath Steady Grip. The MK.78 LMG gets a minor max-range damage increase plus better recoil and bullet velocity, and the XM325 Titan Wield now functions as intended with fixed damage.
On the other side, the REV-46 and M8A1 AutoStrike-X8 build are taking the biggest nerfs. The REV-46 sees nerfs to range, recoil control, headshot multiplier, and ADS speed, while the M8A1’s AutoStrike Conversion suffers higher recoil and loses its bullet velocity bonus. Other tweaks include the M15 Mod 0 AR, which sees its Monolithic Suppressor and Control Stock weakened, and the SG-12 shotgun, which now has increased ADS and tactical stance pellet spread.
New Perks and Ghost buff
Warzone Season 2 Reloaded introduces three new perks in Battle Royale and Resurgence: Momentum, Berserker, and Hunter.
Momentum replaces Alertness and is all about fluid movement in close-quarters fights. It reduces consecutive jump penalties, cuts fire delay while sliding, tightens hip-fire spread, and boosts ADS movement speed. Plus, you crouch and go prone faster, letting you stay agile and precise in tight spaces.
Berserker takes over from Bomb Squad, rewarding aggressive play. After taking down an enemy, you get a boost of 30 percent faster speed for deploying equipment, swapping weapons, reloading, and inserting plates. You also get extra flinch resistance and a clearer screen when your health is low, perfect for chaining fights.
Hunter merges Tracker and Alertness for players who like to hunt and anticipate enemy movements. Shooting an enemy briefly outlines them, and their footprints remain visible for 10 seconds. You can sense enemies within 30 meters and even detect when someone is aiming at you, making it a must-have for hunters.
Meanwhile, Ghost received a small adjustment: its grace period now lasts five seconds instead of 1.5, giving you a bit more breathing room before being detected.
Advanced UAV and Specialist at Buy Stations
Buy Stations are getting a notable update with the addition of Advanced UAVs as a direct purchase for $40,000. Previously, players needed to use four regular UAVs simultaneously to activate an AUAV, but now you can purchase it.
The Specialist perk package now costs $35,000 from $30,000, making cash management even more important. Scavenging perks from ground loot has become essential, letting you save your money for Gas Mask, UAVs, and other valuable equipment instead of splurging on a Specialist.
