Activision has released a patch for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. The update released on December 19, 2022 and is the most recent minor patch as part of the Season 1 Reloaded event. The patch includes minor bug fixes, quality of life updates and changes to the Warzone 2 buy station.
Buy Station Changes: By far the biggest change from the December 19th update is that the buy station in Warzone 2 has been slightly revamped. The buy zone now allows you to purchase your loadout weapons for $2500, down from the original $5000. This changes comes as players have started to voice their opinion on the rarity of load outs, load out weapons, and the lack of cash to be found in Al Mazrah.
