Driving myself mad trying to do vault 11 on my own last night (drink may have been taken).

Got as far as approaching the 3rd Morse code phone when I was brutally murdered...it was the one in the office in the TV station that has about 4 windows overlooking it.

Whats really frustrating me the last few days:

- Lads who die while dropping in
- Then the same guys instead of even going to the gulag just quit
- Folks who don't follow the in game chat/markers
- got a card the other day and no one came with me to the bunker and then basically got killed by bunker campers
- folks who despite having loads of cash refuse to buy you back

Can't expect too much playing with randoms.

yeah i know, but if you join a quad/trio i think trying to "help" the team should be sensible.

Lads who just drop the other side of the map and start doing scavenger etc over seems a bit mad.

Has been grand until recently. People would gel well together as a team but recently its piss poor. It could be because I've fallen way down on my kill ratio since the game just suddenly got so bloody hard and now I'm mixing with the riff raff.

if video games have taught us anything it's never play with randoms, unless you can solo the activity yourself or have a lot of patience

Unless like me you ARE the random

I'm one of a group of five. I only play solos or depending on who else is online, play up to the max of us allowed. When there were two of us, before Duos came in you'd inevitably end up with some crap random who has no voice chat option, ignores the contracts you mark before the jump and just go and do their own thing. Because they were on their own they promptly get killed, then expect you to buy them back. Thankfully duos has fixed that a lot. Playing in a team always more enjoyable than solos.

Managed it last night - tried to get my teammates to come in the heli with with me but they wouldn't have it. More loot for me!

I always set my PS4 to standby mode in the hope it will download these updates but it never does I end up having to manually start it when I turn it on 32.375GB update size on my PS4 btw

gimli2112

I smugly saw the PS update was smaller than Xbox and PC and then remembered downloading it through the PSN network will take 14 times as long.

I turned it on this morning, one of the benefits of working from home.

Good luck with that! Kicked mine of at about 8:30 and it reckoned 30 mins. Still not complete. Don’t forget the extracting and install after it downloads

WHAT’S NEW

Weapon Mastery Challenges!

Once you’ve unlocked Gold for a weapon, Mastery Challenges become available. There’s 8 Challenges per weapon, each granting their own rewards, with 4 Playercards and 4 Emblems up for grabs. You’ll need to make your way through 2 Kill Challenges, 2 Headshot Challenges, and 4 additional Challenges that must be done in order (Gold, Platinum, Damascus, Obsidian). Completing all challenges for 51 weapons unlocks a badass special Sticker and Playercard!

Warzone In-Match Events!

Events can occur during Warzone Battle Royale matches and have an impact on the strategy and approach to gameplay. Events can happen in any given match without advance notice. When they happen events will always occur mid-game. E.g. after the first drop kit and before the Gulag closes. Only one event type will occur in a given match, so familiarize yourself with three new event types, available at the start of Season Four – ‘Jailbreak’, ‘Fire Sale’, and ‘Supply Chopper’.

When a ‘Jailbreak’ occurs, all players that have been eliminated will be released back into the match. Whether you were waiting for your 1v1 in the Gulag, or had been relegated to a spectator, now you’ll have another chance. You will get a one-minute notice before a Jailbreak event happens to find additional armor or secure a weapon for your returning teammates. Jailbreak events can occur any time during the middle game of a Battle Royale match, so it may

be worth it to spectate, just in case. Be mindful that when a Jailbreak occurs, it’s not just your teammates that are coming back, but tons of additional enemies.

A ‘Fire Sale’ is an in-game event that temporarily discounts most of the items at a Buy Station up to 80% or even gives items out completely free. A Fire Sale is the perfect time to pick up a UAV, Armor Box for your squad, or even a lethal Killstreak. During a Fire Sale buying back a fallen teammate is completely free. If your short on in-match Cash, a Fire Sale might be the best chance to redeploy a squadmate. Note that even during a Fire Sale, Loadout Drops are not discounted. Fire Sales only last sixty seconds, so expect Buy Stations to be crowded and prepare for a fight.

A ‘Supply Choppers’ event brings a non-lethal, but heavily armored helicopter to Verdansk. The helicopter will have a lot of health, and it will require a few rounds of bullets and maybe a rocket or two to bring it down. The helicopter will not shoot at you, but make sure that while you’re distracted enemy teams don’t take advantage. Once you destroy the Supply Chopper, it will drop high quality loot for players to pick up. This loot includes three UAVS, two armor boxes and munitions boxes, a gas mask, a grenade launcher, and tons of Cash at a minimum. Supply Choppers leave after a certain period of time, so if you want to take one out start firing right away. Remember, that after taking down a Supply Chopper, you have to collect the loot. Watch out for enemy teams who might try to take you out during the collection or steal your hard-earned rewards.

Contraband Contract System!

Contraband is a new, rare contract with a permanent Blueprint Reward. Contraband contracts have a chance to spawn after a previous contract is completed. If you see the Contraband briefcase, hurry up and collect it. Once you have it, take it to the designated Helicopter Extraction location to call in the helicopter. The player carrying the briefcase must deposit it into the helicopter drop-bag to complete the mission. If you kill a player carrying this briefcase you can steal it complete the contract for your team. Be on the lookout for them on your Tac Map!

DOWNLOAD SIZE

The Season 4 download is going to be large. In order to reduce the overall disc space that MW and WZ take up, we're compressing a bunch of assets. Once installed, the S4 launch will only take up an additional 4GB on consoles for all of the new content.

We're continuing to sweep all assets to make size reductions where we can, and also further optimize future patches for size. If helpful, one reminder for console players, you can uninstall the content packs for modes that you're not playing if you want to free up space. 

You can learn how to do so HERE.

So if I don’t play war zone. Then this is irrelevant to me basically? Fixes are niche by the look of it. No additional MP maps/weapons or did I miss something?

gimli2112

Scrapyard and looks like some new weapons Fennec and CR-56 Amax
It's grim for MP but scrapyard makes it a good kind of grim.

I am still only getting 50kbs.

Is there any solution to this. Can we get someone who has downloaded the game files to just drop them somewhere....

errlloyd

For those on Battle.net.

I used this guide to get a free VPN and now I am downloading at 9MB/s... Just under 100 times faster than I was before.

"On Sony's PlayStation 4, the installed game can now take up close to 200GB in total - about half disc space available on the basic version."

You can delete co-op and campaign from ps4 if you don't play them, wish PC had the same options though.

I spent a while (admittedly not long) trying to find this option, where is it? Don't play campaign after completing it
