Warzone Season 04 Reloaded: Nick Cage Event & Champion’s Quest Returns

✨ Featured Events
- Nick Cage Event Pass: Bringing the action this summer, players can complete the event pass to unlock the Nick Cage Operator, Executioner’s Duet melee weapon, and the AN-94 Assault Rifle.
- Summer of Action: A new daily login event provides rewards including Tier Skips, Double XP Tokens, and the “Catharsis” X9 Maverick Weapon Blueprint.
🏆 Champion’s Quest Evolution
- The iconic challenge returns with a new multi-step, server-wide objective structure. Squads must transport radioactive isotopes and escort missile transports, all while being visible to the entire lobby. Success grants prestige rewards including exclusive weapon camos, animated calling cards, and finishing moves.
🎮 Playlists & Map Updates
- Rebirth Island: A new seasonal variant features updated foliage and thunderstorm weather, while retaining key POIs like the Turbine and Outpost.
- Squad Gun Game: A new 30-player, Trios-only LTM where teams cycle through 10 weapon tiers to claim victory.
- Resurgence: Fortune’s Keep is now added to the Resurgence Casual map rotation.
⚙️ Gameplay & Weapon Balancing
- Gas Changes: Players can no longer interact with Supply Boxes deep in the gas. Grace distance now dynamically scales with circle progression to reduce passive play.
- Equipment Nerfs: Point Turrets have reduced range and deployment limits. Stims now offer 40% less health regen in the gas. Grappling Hook mobility has been significantly reduced.
- Weapon Tuning: Extensive balance passes have been applied to Assault Rifles (including the MK35 ISR and VX Compact), SMGs (notably the REV-46 and Sturmwolf 45), and LMGs to refine combat engagement ranges and recoil control.
🛠️ Bug Fixes
- Resolved issues with Supply Run contracts not triggering Fire Sales, incorrect Ranked leaderboard displays, and UI overlaps in the Ranked menu.
