Warzone 2 & Modern Warfare 2 April 25 update patch notes: Killstreak banner adjustment & bug fixes

Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 received updates on April 25 that brought several bug fixes to the games, as the devs look to make changes following the Season 3 update. Here are the patch notes for the update.

Despite the Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 updates bringing plenty of new content to the games, players have been calling for fixes to several bugs plaguing the gameplay experience across multiplayer and the battle royale.

Luckily, the devs decided to roll out a small update on April 25 to address several of the ongoing issues in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. To find out what’s changed following the update, here are the full patch notes.

Warzone 2 devs move Killstreak banner

Prior to the Warzone 2 Season 3 update, fans of the battle royale had been complaining about visibility issues. Most were particularly annoyed by the way a Killstreak banner in Warzone 2 would obstruct their view in crucial moments.

Following the April 25 update, Warzone 2 Killstreak banners should no longer obstruct players’ reticles. The devs have adjusted the placement of the banner and it will no longer interfere as you look to take down enemies in key gunfights.

Interestingly enough, the same change appeared in the Season 3 patch notes, but whether it’s only being implemented now, or if this consists of another change isn’t quite clear as of yet.
