Raven Software working on exclusive Warzone perks as Black Ops split continues TreyarchRaven Software is working on two new Warzone-exclusive perks \u2014 and will workshop more for future updates \u2014 in a game-changer for the Call of Duty battle royale as it charts a course beyond Modern Warfare and Black Ops integration in coming seasons. Warzone\u2019s split into its own Call of Duty title continues. When the popular battle royale was first released, it was bound to Infinity Ward\u2019s Modern Warfare remake. The two games played relatively differently (that would be little surprise to anyone) but balance changes were often made together. That changed in Black Ops Cold War\u2019s integration, but only slightly. Another move has now been made to shift Warzone into its own standalone game; starting next season, the battle royale will have its very own perks. The battle royale devs confirmed the new plans in their title\u2019s Season 4 Reloaded patch notes on July 15: \u201cWe are excited to share that we are planning the debut of two new Warzone-specific perks in future updates.\u201d Raven Software also confirmed they would now be adjusting Warzone perks separately to Call of Duty\u2019s mainline games, to \u201cbetter balance\u201d the battle royale. This move isn\u2019t a first for the Call of Duty franchise. Warzone\u2019s precursor Blackout \u2014 the short-lived Black Ops 4 battle royale \u2014 actually had exclusive perks you could collect across the map. Many of these never appeared in its mainline game. That idea was scrapped when originally Warzone was introduced, however; Infinity Ward preferred to keep Modern Warfare \u201cmore linked\u201d with its new battle royale. This decision has been near-universally panned by Warzone players ever since. Due to the nature of battle royale gameplay compared to its multiplayer sister modes, some perks were either totally useless when used in the 100-player arena. Others swung the other way, like Dead Silence, and were \u2018must-take.\u2019 Popular figures like Dr Disrespect and CDL stars Kenny and Attach have all flamed Raven Software over the studio\u2019s Dead Silence stance in the past. Raven has yet to officially unveil Warzone\u2019s exclusive perks. The devs did confirm, however, they would be making major changes to one perk \u2014 \u201cHigh Alert\u201d \u2014 alongside their arrival. The oft-forgotten defensive upgrade will be getting Season 5 buffs to counter the infamous Dead Silence perk.
