After reviewing internal data, we've decided to slightly adjust the player count in our newest revival map area 99.

The updated player counts are as follows:

• Quads: 44 → 40
• Triad: 45 → 42
• Duos: 44 → 40
• Single: 45 → 40

These changes aim to improve the overall pacing of each game and reduce the frequency of third-party interruptions during engagement. We hope to reduce friction by striking a fine balance between action and player agency, allowing players to carve out that all-important time – and get their loadout.

In the meantime, we will continue to monitor feedback and data to make further adjustments if necessary.

We look forward to sharing more about upcoming Warzone updates soon.
