Warzone quietly confirms controversial Buy Station change & return of popular attachment

Without explicitly mentioning either change in the roadmap blog, Raven Software subtly confirmed one feature fans requested and another that will undoubtedly ruffle some feathers.

Most gameplay changes coming to Warzone in Season 3 are responses to community feedback or original features from Verdansk in 2020. This includes bringing iconic Modern Warfare 2019 weapons back, like the CR-56 AMAX and the Kilo 141 ARs.

Some players complained that omnimovement felt too unnatural in Warzone, so Raven Software responded by introducing a new movement system specifically tailored for the battle royale experience. In addition, the devs removed Redeploy Balloons so vehicles don’t feel useless.

The upcoming seasonal update will also include a long list of quality-of-life changes, but they weren’t all mentioned in the initial announcement blog.

Weapons removed from Buy Stations & Monolithic Suppressor returning in Season 3

In the Warzone Season 3 Roadmap blog, Raven Software included an image of a new QoL feature that allows players to view a weapon’s attachments when they do the inspect animation.

The ASG-89 loadout in the image has a Monolithic Suppressor attachment, which hasn’t been in the game since Warzone 2. Fans loved the Muzzle because using a suppressor removed you from the mini-map while firing, and it increased your weapon’s damage range.

As a result, most players used the Monolithic Suppressor on their AR or LMG loadouts, as it provided excellent benefits at the small cost of aim-down sight speed and aim-walking steadiness. Since BO6 removed cons for attachments, we expect this attachment to be even better than before when it gets added back.

Raven Software also confirmed that the original Buy Station from 2020 will be returning in Season 3. This means they will be in the exact locations you remember them being in Verdansk and will have the same menus.

One of the images shows everything you can buy, but it doesn’t include an option to purchase your loadout weapons. This is, of course, because that feature wasn’t added until later in the battle royale’s life cycle, but the decision could frustrate players.

So, in Season 3, players can only get their custom weapons from a loadout drop purchased from the Buy Station for $15,000 or from a public loadout drop event during the second and fifth of the six-circle collapses.

It remains to be seen how players will feel about this change, but we will have a better idea once Warzone Season 3 officially starts on April 3.
