Call of Duty Warzone Gets a Secret Change Which is Nowhere in the Latest Update Patch Notes
Follow Us
Call of Duty Warzone offers a range of equipment to make it easier for players on the battlefield. Items also come with a rarity, which denotes how frequently players run into an item. One of the most helpful, yet broken item in Warzone happens to be a Gas Mask, a legendary item that shields players from damage when in gas.
As it happens, the animation associated with a Gas Mask has gotten many players killed, instead of shielding them. In fact, players have been reporting the same issue since Warzone’s launch. However, the developers didn’t seem to pay heed, until now, when Raven Software silently added a much-demanded mechanic.

Describing the issue associated with a Gas Mask in Warzone, players mentioned how they are unable to choose to put on the equipment. It automatically equips when players enter an area enveloped with health-degrading gas.
Further, the animation associated with players equipping the mask prevents them from pulling out a weapon and defend themselves from enemies. Well, Raven Software finally seems to have added a setting to help the situation.
Warzone receives a helpful setting to tackle the issue
According to an update from Charlie Intel, Raven Software has very silently added a much-requested mechanic. Players will, very soon, be able to choose whether or not to equip a gas mask when in a gas-filled area. However, the change didn’t show up on the recent patch notes.
Not mentioned in patch notes, but Raven appears to have added the ability to manually toggle the Gas Mask in Warzone.

They can head over to the Controller or Keyboard & Mouse section in their in-game settings to locate the as ‘Gas Mask Is Toggle Only’ setting. However, the setting doesn’t seem to work in-game yet, even though it’s available.
Update: While this setting is available in-game, it looks like the feature itself does not currently work. It may have been added early.

Raven Software may have added the feature early, as Charlie pointed out. This would definitely help fans avoid a lot of helplessness when entering a cloud of gas!
This was to happen 3 years ago. Single most frustrating thing they've never changed til now and it made zero sense. "Someone is actively shooting me, LET ME PUT ON MY MASK because it's more realistic as the gas is a more direct threat than a guy actively shooting me"

Although Raven Software has recently been trying to add useful tweaks to Warzone, it hasn’t always been the same. Warzone received a much-needed overhaul when Vanguard’s content fused with the free-to-play battle royale. Since then, the developers have actively tried to eliminate bugs, in addition to paying more attention to cheaters.
3 years of dying to this animation and they finally fix it. I love the way new CoDs work! 🤦🏾♂️
