Warzone’s Gulag is also receiving an update.

It will not randomly choose from six assault rifles and four SMGs – all of which are automatic. That means no burst or single fire guns are included.

Here’s the list of Gulag loadouts:

• Kilo 141
• M4
• AK-47
• M13
• SCAR
• Ram-7
• MP5
• AUG
• P90
• Striker 45

Call of Duty update – general fixes

There are loads of general fixes to improve quality of life during gameplay.

For instance, Infinity Ward has fixed a load of exploits that allow cheaters to escape the map.

This stops rogue players from preying on you using areas that are usually impossible to reach.

This includes one bug that allowed players to take the ATV out of the map on Aniyah Palace.

Call of Duty update – weapon changes

Call of Duty has so many weapons on offer, which is great for players.

But this also makes the game fiendishly difficult to keep balanced.

As certain weapons fall in and out of favour, their stats need updating to keep the game feeling fair.

Here’s the full list of Call of Duty weapon changes in the latest patch:

Renetti:

• Reduced the max ammo reserve
• MK3 Burst Mod – Significant hip spread increase

And the final circle now moves, too.

Here’s the list of changes:
