One change in Warzone Season 5 seems to be a significant one, and it’s unclear if it’s deliberate or not. One of the game’s main ways of earning money, Bounties, task players with completing mini-objectives during a live game to earn useful rewards – namely cash.
A commonly acquired one is the Bounty contract that selects one enemy player somewhere near you in the game and asks you to eliminate them. Doing so rewards you with a healthy lump sum of money. But Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 now appears to only be rewarding the individual that takes out the target.
The news was first widely reported by ModernWarzone as they issued a warning to any confused players not being rewarded for completed contracts.
“Bounties in #Warzone now only reward the individual player who killed the bounty with cash. Intentional or not?,” they Tweeted.
There’s a good chance that this isn’t a deliberate change because it hasn’t been mentioned by Raven Software, or appeared in the Season 5 patch notes.
ModernWarzone also posted a follow-up Tweet to alert players that other contract opportunities are also experiencing similar issues.
This could simply be a bug or a glitch that has gone undetected in the lead-up to the Season 5 release. Such a significant change would have probably been outed by the devs ahead of its release.
