The new Call of Duty WW2 update going live today will include all the near gear from the Resistance event, which starts tonight.
It also includes its own set of tweaks and bugfixes, some of which Sledgehammer Games have already confirmed.
Here’s the latest from the studio, including some of those new changes for Spectator Mode: “Just reviewed the patch notes with our social media specialist. In addition to all of the event content, there are lots of good fixes included.
“The update will start rolling out on PS4 at 9am PST, barring anything unforeseen. Be sure to follow the SHG channels for full details.
“Here are a couple notable ones that may bring a few smiles: * Fixed issue where volume of some announcer VO lines in War Mode were louder than intended * Turned down foley footstep volume, as well as other players’ footstep volume. (I hope we didn’t nerf them too much, tbh)
“Also, if you have any doubt that the MP team is listening, I’m proud to share the system designers jammed hard to get this change implemented and tested for today’s update, ahead of my expectation to be honest:
“* Friendly shellshock no longer impacts player movement. VFX and screen shake still present, but player movement and look speed reductions have been eliminated.
“We’ve been working on this update since December. Hundreds of developers working for weeks to add, improve, refine, and fix. We hope it goes flawlessly.
“I suspect you’ll help us identify new things to address. Please keep the feedback coming, please keep the feedback constructive.”
Patch notes have not been released for the new Call of Duty WW2 build but are expected to be announced in the coming hours.
Tuesday, January 23, is certainly going to be a busy day for Call of Duty fans, what with the new update and Resistance event.
The Resistance update ends five weeks later on February 27 and celebrates the release of next week’s Resistance DLC.
The latest update adds a new Division, new game modes, new items and playlists.
The Resistance event will be open to everyone and will include a range of new content to try out, including a brand-new Division.
Here’s more from Sledgehammer Games: “This Division focuses on the element of surprise and close-quarters combat.
“Once fully-leveled up, Resistance skills will include a Pistol Tactical Knife combo, the ability to scramble nearby enemy mini-maps, an additional pistol attachment, and a mini-map indicator in the direction of nearby hostiles.
“The Resistance Division also includes a new pistol, which can be used by all Divisions, the 9mm SAP pistol.”
New game modes are also being included, while the Gun Game mode will also be returning for the month of the event.
Demolition is a spin on Search & Destroy with respawns available. Faster-paced and more accessible, this classic favorite will return for two weeks during The Resistance.
Prop Hunt, the fan-favorite game mode, also makes its debut in Call of Duty: WWII, as players will have the opportunity to hide in plain site as objects, while the enemy team hunts them down.
The Resistance also signifies the return of Captain Butcher, bringing new gear, promotions and contracts to the game.
