Warzone Loud Numbers event audio has been adjusted

Call of Duty: Warzone got so many community complaints about painfully loud audio during the ongoing Numbers event countdown. And now, developer Raven Software has finally adjusted the audio prompts for Warzone’s Numbers broadcast. Players should hopefully be able to hear the game’s important audio now that the frequency and volume level of the Numbers event audio has been adjusted instead of Stitch’s voice counting some numbers.

Today’s tweet from Raven says, “Even through all the noise, we heard you loud and clear! The feedback is appreciated.”

Call of Duty Season 5 Reloaded’s ongoing Numbers event offers in-game challenges across Black Ops Cold War and Warzone, and many players are complaining that the battle royale part of the event is way too loud.

Event is themed around the iconic Black Ops campaign narrative of the brainwashing Numbers program. Call of Duty’s Numbers event in Warzone includes activating Mobile Broadcast Stations around Verdansk. Activated stations then loudly broadcast a series of numbers and include a scrambled audio effect that hinders players from hearing the important game sounds around them like footsteps and gunshots. It’s excruciatingly loud audio, and there are often a series of numbers flashing across the screen that can be very distracting. As expected, players have used the social media to plead with the developers Raven Software to either remove the audio completely or allow players to toggle off the event sounds. 

Players who activate or listen to all nine of Verdansk’s Mobile Broadcast Stations will complete the Warzone-side of the Numbers event. This will reward players with cosmetic items, 5,000 XP, and unlock the new Sai melee weapon.

Overall, this is probably one of the most underwhelming Warzone events, but the Sai melee weapon is still worth unlocking. The Sai can also be unlocked through a series of challenges in Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer and Zombies, but the challenge will be quickest to complete in Warzone.

Players can even activate all the mobile stations in a single match or two, assuming they just rush around to all the different locations. Unfortunately, completing the Warzone event doesn’t take away the event’s audio cues for future matches. Players will still be subjected to the flashing red numbers on their screen, along with blaring and drawn-out shouts of the Numbers broadcast. And the event’s audio cues and visuals will be activated once again when you go into the gas. 

Hopefully the developers found a way to make the event less distracting and less painful for the ears. The Numbers event is scheduled to end on October 6 at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET on October 7. More content is set to follow Warzone’s event, as Call of Duty Season 6 is expected to start around October 7.
