Previously Activision made Patch 1.29 only available for pre-loading on PS4. As expected, Patch 1.29 comes with graphical improvements and general bug fixes. Additionally, support for flexible disk-space moderation has been included. Patch 1.29 also packs a large amount of content for Modern Warfare & Warzone players.

- Fix for a bug where players are unable to equip other War Tracks after selecting “Random”
- Removed Juggernauts from Bunker puzzles
Earlier this week, a specific bug emerged, leading a player to play the game in Third Person Perspective. The Warzone Community demanded to have the Juggernaut excluded from Verdansk, and Activision is finally responding accordingly. It appears that the exploit originated from the gas-mask is also going to be fixed.
With Patch 1.29 out for all-region by tonight, Activision is confidently paving the way for Warzone’s future. As Warzone is about to get merged with Black Ops: Cold War next month, developers on both ends are putting extra efforts to get everything settled. Amid all the excitement, the Call of Duty community is anxious about the recently resurfaced issues with hackers and exploiters.
