Summary
In Season 5 ofCall of Duty: Warzone, Raven Software has finally addressed the longstanding and widespread complaints regarding the gas mask overlay. The latestCall of Duty: Warzoneupdate introduces a dynamic gas mask feature, ensuring that players' vision is no longer obstructed when they are outside the gas.
Call of Duty: WarzoneSeason 5 patch notes were recently revealed, bringing significant updates in performance, customization, content, gameplay mechanics, bug fixes, and more. Performance improvements address issues on Xbox One, while customization enhancements include better first-person arm textures for the Jeans Ghost Operator Skin and the removal of an incompatible underbarrel from the Matambre Blueprint for the FJX Horus. The update also adds theSuperstore point of interest to the Urzikstan map, offering a new location for looting and combat. Additionally, the new limited-time mode, Superstore Resurgence, features a 28-player, 10-minute match with squads of four.
Theupdatealso introduced several UI/UX improvements, including a key enhancement to thegas mask inWarzone. Previously, the gas mask’s overlay, which obscured vision and displayed cracks when damaged, was always active when the mask was equipped. This often led players to store the mask in their inventory and only equip it when necessary to avoid vision impairment. The new “Dynamic Gas Mask Overlay Quality of Life” change addresses this issue by making the overlay fade in and out based on whether players are in a gas zone. Now, players can keep the gas mask equipped at all times without it obstructing their view, significantly improving their gameplay experience.

The update was generally well-received, but some fans voiced their frustration about the long delay. They remarked on how it took over four years for this change to be implemented, expressing a mix of disbelief and amusement that the gas mask animation was only now being addressed.
