The latest Warzone update fixes a frustrating Dead Silence bug

A new Call of Duty Warzone update has been released, addressing a Dead Silence bug and more.

It recently emerged that players who switched their Field Upgrade to Dead Silence at just the right time in pre-game lobbies would get the benefits of the perk (quieter footsteps) for an entire match rather than just for limited periods.

That’s no longer the case as of today’s update, according to developer Raven Software.

The game’s latest update also removes the ‘report offensive chats’ button while Raven looks into a related crash, and includes a recoil fix for the C58 Royal & Kross 4x Optic (see the full patch notes below).
