Warzone is getting Black Ops 7’s open matchmaking in Season 1, so you won’t have to take a shower after every match

Skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) in Call of Duty has been a contentious issue among casual players, often leading to feelings of exhaustion. Black Ops 7 has introduced open matchmaking in its casual playlists, a change that will also be implemented in Warzone. Game director Peter Actipis announced that open matchmaking is coming to Warzone in Season 1, launching on December 4. The new Resurgence map, Havens Hollow, will increase lobby size from 44 to 52 players for quads, and the Homestead point of interest has been redesigned to improve gameplay. Raven Software plans to implement more frequent meta updates, focusing on adjusting attachment effectiveness and rebalancing perks, including changes to the Survivor perk. Upcoming modes include Ampred BR, which increases base health, and High Octane BR, allowing players to start with preferred loadouts. Season 2 will bring significant changes to Rebirth Island, including a snowstorm that will alter the map.

What’s the best Crisis Kit to pick in FBC: Firebreak?

The game FBC: Firebreak allows players to choose from three Crisis Kits at the start, which can be switched in the loadout menu for strategic flexibility. Players engage in tasks within the Federal Bureau of Control, using the unique abilities of each kit: the Fix Kit for repairs, the Jump Kit for energizing devices, and the Splash Kit for extinguishing fires. The Fix Kit is identified as the most versatile, particularly effective during the Hot Fix job, featuring a wrench that expedites tasks, a Swivel Cannon for damage, and an ultimate upgrade that creates a whirlwind effect. The Splash Kit provides healing and fire extinguishing capabilities but is limited in job scenarios. The Jump Kit is considered less effective, with abilities that often fail to perform as intended, despite having a powerful ultimate augment.
