Call of Duty: Modern Warfarerecently saw another update that once again makes some changes to both the online multiplayer andWarzonegame modes. Thepatch notes forModern Warfare’s update 1.23revealed some big changes to many of the game’s weapons and online playlists.
However, there was one change that wasn’t included within the patch notes that some players were quick to uncover while playingWarzone. It seems that Infinity Ward subtly included the ability for players to call in a Counter-UAV duringWarzonethrough a handful of methods.

Finding a Counter-UAV
Counter-UAVs are a common killstreak reward in the normal multiplayer mode ofCall of Dutygames, so players might be interested in how they work inWarzone. WhileWarzoneis primarily a battle royale mode with various other modes to try out, like anewly leaked prop hunt mode, the main gameplay pits over 100 players in a massive map until one squad is left standing. DuringWarzonematches, players can find various items and perks scattered randomly around the map in chests.
Players can find a number of items during a match, including blueprint weapons, equipment, andeven contracts like supply runor most wanted contracts. One of the ways players can obtain a Counter-UAV is to simply stumble across one inside a chest during a match. However, it seems the chances of randomly finding a Counter-UAV are quite rare even though the item seems to be ‘Epic’ in terms of rarity.
Call in Four UAVs
The second option for players who want to call in a UAV is a bit more complicated. It seems that players wanting to call in a Counter-UAV need to call in four regular UAVs all at once, activating not only an Advanced UAV for the whole squad but also a Counter-UAV for all enemy squads for around 30 seconds. Unfortunately, this was recently made a little bit harder asWarzonejust replaced regular quadswith a 200 player mode. While that change won’t last forever, it will make calling in a Counter-UAV harder at the present time.
It’s also important that a Counter-UAV called in using this method won’t show up as a notification for the squad that used it, even as anupdate in the killfeed during theWarzonematch. Calling in four UAVs will cost $16,000 which is quite demanding to simply block out the enemy radar for half a minute. While Counter-UAVs can be extremely helpful in certain situations, it might be worth it to spend that cash elsewhere during the heat of a match.
Clearly, the recent patch has changedWarzoneand multiplayer in some subtle and not-so-subtle ways. One of those impactful changes from the latest patchnerfed the popular assault rifle – the Grau 5.56. It remains to be seen how these changes will affectWarzone’s ever-changing meta.
