COD Modern Warfare new update - Patch notes

What's new:

• New Coalition Operator, Talon.
• Khandor Hideout 24/7 Playlist in Modern Warfare Multiplayer.
• NVG Infected Multiplayer Mode - Infected in the Dark. Survivors will now have a thermal vision with limited NVG battery; however, the Infected will be able to see in the Dark.
• Realism damage, to make the headshots count.
• Plunder: Blood Money - There will be a guaranteed cash drop on every kill. Bounty Contracts and Finishing Moves will turn in additional cash.

General fixes:

• While using a Tactical Insertion in the crawl space, close to the oil derrick on Rust, users used to spawn at different places on the map instead of the location where the Tac Insert was placed. It has been fixed.
• When using KBM, the navigation arrows used to change the season that one was viewing and would go in the wrong direction. It has been fixed.
• Fixed a bug where the kill cam displayed the player had been killed by a Thermite rather than an underbarrel thermite.
• In certain cases, Xbox players used to experience in-game stuttering once the console was in Rest Mode and the “Instant On” setting was enabled. It has been fixed.
• Fixed a bug where players would see Daily Challenges rewarding duplicate rewards instead of XP.
• The weapon and equipment counts will now be seen in the kill cam. If a player is using Stopping Power, then an orange ammo count will be used to denote the same. In addition, players will also see if a Dead Silence was used in the kill cam.

Weapons:

• An Increase in the max travel time for Crossbow bolts from earlier 3 seconds to 6 seconds for longer distance shots.
• Bolt action rechamber will not be retriggered anymore if interrupted after the round has been ejected (this will fix an issue with the redundant bolt action rechambers after weapon switches).
• Removing inaccurate attachment description from Solozero NVG Enhanced Scope: Optic glint visible to enemies.
