Recently, Warzone excluded helicopters for unknown reasons. However, many speculated that it resulted from certain players exploiting a newly discovered bug. The glitch allowed players to use the choppers to get underneath the map and stack free kills, thereby ruining the gameplay for others and the overall balance of the game. Now, it seems the developers have addressed the troublesome bug, therefore helicopters are back again in Warzone’s skies.

Another addition to Warzone is a brand new Solo mode, dubbed Stimulus Solos. According to Charlie Intel’s report, The Gulag is disabled in Stimulus Solos. This implies that players can only respawn by spending the necessary amount of money. Each player begins a match with $4500, and the total cash diminishes by 50% when they die. Moreover, in the last few circles, player respawning is also disabled. Stimulus Solos replaces the regular Solos mode.
