This change essentially results in the ability to obtain two Primary weapons from your custom loadouts for $5,000. Before the change, this would set each player back $10,000. It seems the devs were in agreement that this was simply too steep a price to pay.
The change will surely make Loadout Weapons more accessible across Warzone 2. This alleviates one of the game’s biggest complaints as players expressed their frustration with not being able to get their hands on Loadout Weapons early on in matches.
Here are the rest of the changes and bug fixes addressed in Warzone 2’s December 19 update. The Global section pertains to changes that impact both Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2.
