Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare players can now earn new rewards online. The latest update for the Xbox One, PS4 and PC versions introduces Supply Drop Daily Challenges.
Each day, players will be given a randomized multiplayer objective to complete. These objectives will be visible in the "Challenges" and "Find Match" menus. These daily challenges can include playing specific game modes or getting a set number of kills with a weapon.
When you complete one of these challenges, you'll earn an XP bonus or Supply Drop. Supply Drops can include temporary boosts, weapon variations or character gear. The Supply Drop Daily Challenges could also reward rare items from a new KVA Recon Character Gear Set. Daily Challenges are actually the only way for players to earn the KVA Recon set.
“The design for the KVA Recon gear was intended to be bold and high-contrast while still feeling grounded," said associate concept artist Alex Jessup on Sledgehammer Games' blog. "The matte green on white was inspired by winter gear, and the dark-on-light makes it stand out while still looking military. Instead of trying to be flashy, I wanted a minimalistic utilitarian look, much like actual recon equipment.”
The patch also includes a number of fixes for matchmaking, profile switching and other aspects of the game. The full list of changes are below. Beneath the patch notes you can find a few screenshots of the KVA gear.
