Warzone perks receive major overhaul in Season 4: Buffs, nerfs, ground loot changes
Warzone Season 4 is here, bringing an abundance of major changes to the game and perks have received a lot of focus this time around. From new additions in the ground loot pool to huge buffs to fan favorites, here’s what to expect when jumping into the action.
Warzone Season 3 introduced perks to the ground loot pool in an all-new way. While Field Upgrades were already offering players minor advantages out on the battlefield, equipable perks brought even more advantages for players who were ready to go hunt them down.
InSeason 4, that feature has been expanded even further as an array of new boosts await the brave soldiers who spend time looking for them.
On top of that, some staple perks saw quite a big boost in effectiveness, making them even more important for your loadout.

They now include the following:
