Demands from Warzone Playerbase is still not fulfilled through this update. Additionally, a new Heartbeat Sensor glitch has just popped up.
The Heartbeat sensor bug is quite old but still unfixed. So what happens is that when a player decides to use the Heartbeat sensor, the game/screen freezes for 3-5 seconds. Which is enough to get you killed in the fast-paced Warzone environment. Also, a waiting room bug has appeared in-game.
With these bugs now informed we might have to wait for further updates. Developers are yet to address the really annoying Heartbeat sensor problem. However, some critical week old bugs are still pissing off players & streamers. The latest patch update did not get everything quite right. Twitter is not happy with the update and especially the update size. Xbox players are having a hard time understanding why their update size is bigger compared to a PC or PS4.
