Sledgehammer Games’ Call of Duty: WW2 received a new update to commemorate the launch of the Resistance Community Event. There’s a lot more it does than that so make sure to download it before starting the event.
Along with adding Winter Carentan to the aggregate pool of maps, the update removes shell shock from allied explosions. Health generation has also been increased and a number of exploits associated with Nazi Zombies have been fixed. It also seems the Camouflage ability has been nerfed.
Multiplayer has seen a number of fixes as well including a fix for an issue with the spectator mode; the game crashing from a fatal error or lost host connection upon accepting an invite to HQ; a game crash issue in Operation Neptune; and hard crash issues that can take place mid-match. Check out some of the fixes below with the full patch notes available here.
Call of Duty: WW2 will see its first paid DLC The Resistance releasing on January 30th for PlayStation 4. It will arrive, like past DLC packs, a month after for Xbox One and PC.
