Warzone Pacific Update Today 1.49 December 9th/10th 2021 Patch Notes

There’s a new Warzone Pacific update today (December 9th/10th 2021). Here’s the patch notes for the 1.49 patch.

The new Pacific Warzone map launched for Vanguard players on Wednesday followed by a release to all players for free yesterday. There have been a number of issues with the game leading to an unpleasant experience.

One of the issues currently plaguing the game is the inability to hear teammates. It still doesn’t appear to be fixed yet but hopefully we’ll see a patch deployed to address all of the major bugs.

We do have a new Warzone Pacific update today, 1.49, and the patch notes have been posted by Sledgehammer games. Unfortunately, only a few bug fixes have been deployed in the 1.49 update including collision issues with various elements across the Caldera map.

1.49 Warzone Pacific December 9 / 10 Update Patch Notes

An issue that allows players to access and use items that aren’t supposed to be available yet has been fixed. That’s the only major fixes in the update, but we should see a new patch release soon to address the rest.

There are also some buffs and nerfs to Cold War and Modern Warfare weapons. The Black Ops Cold War AK-47 has been nerfed with the initial recoil increased. We’ll need to dive into a game to see how much they’ve changed the recoil but it’s likely it’ll be a viable weapon regardless.

Players will be disappointed to hear that the EM2 from Cold War has also been nerfed. It was a weapon that players were looking to use on the new Pacific Warzone map with many unhappy at the state of the Vanguard weapons in Battle Royale.

Here are the EM2 changes:

Neck Damage Multiplier decreased to 1.1, up from 1.2
Recoil Magnitude increased
Recoil Deviation increased

Other changes include changes to the Shotgun Bravo in Cold war with movement and ADS movement speed decreased. The Swiss K31 has the Flinch Resistance decreased by 62% and the fan favourite Cold War SMG, the OTs 9 has been nerfed with maximum damage and headshot multiplier changes.
