Call Of Duty Warzone Explains Its New Covert Exfil Feature, But Players Still Aren't Happy
Leaving a game early for rewards isn't what players seem to want.
Warzone's new Covert Exfil feature isn't exactly garnering praise from Call of Duty players. The controversial new feature gives the shooter's players the ability to exfil from Battle Royale matches early by purchasing Covert Exifls from a Buy Station.

Will the Warzone devs listen? Doubtful. For their part, Raven Software says that more details and design intent will be shared in next week's patch notes.
