CoD: Black Ops 6 And Warzone Update Buffs D1.3 Sector And Extends TMNT Event

A small update has arrived to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 And Warzone on March 11, and the patch notes reveal a buff for Season 2 Reloaded’s new D1.3 Sector special weapon. Call of Duty’s TMNT event has also received an extension, so players now have more time to earn those Ninja Turtle rewards.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event was originally scheduled to end on March 13, but players now have until March 20 to complete the TMNT event pass.

The season’s new D1.3 Sector special weapon is adjusted for both Black Ops 6 and Warzone. This includes a buff that affects the weapon’s ricochet blade ammo type, which increases the damage from 75 to 100. The developer says the change was made to make the blades a one-hit kill, but that the rate of fire and projectile velocity were decreased to compensate for the more powerful blades. Additionally, the ricochet blades also now have improved bouncing speeds and physics.

For Zombies, the patch notes address an issue with the Citadelle des Morts boss fight that previously allowed The Guardian to bypass Dying Wish and the downed state when attacking.

On the Warzone side, the patch notes include an adjustment specifically for MW2 and MW3 melee weapons. This change allows the weapons to have the same Tac-Sprint speeds as Black Ops 6’s melee weapons.

The full patch notes can be found below for both Black Ops 6 and Warzone, as shared by Activision.

While this was just a small update for Call of Duty, a much bigger update is planned for next month. Warzone’s original Verdansk map returns on April 3. This will likely include the full Season 3 update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, but Activision hasn’t revealed any further details yet.

D1.3 Sector

Our initial design for the D1.3 Sector Ricochet Blades revolved around quickly launching many high-speed blades, meant to perform best blind firing into enclosed spaces. We have been following your feedback and agree that, in practice, the use cases for this ammo type are too low. The Ricochet Blades will now do 100 damage to enable one-hit kills, and to compensate we are lowering the fire rate and projectile speed. We think the popularity of this ammo type will see some new interest with these changes and look forward to seeing more of your cross-map killcams in MP.
