Call of Duty’s Festive Fervor event kicked off on December 16, adding Christmas trees, elves, and Krampus to Warzone’s Caldera. The addition of Krampus has brought a lot of frustration to Call of Duty’s seasonal events in both Vanguard and Warzone. Thankfully, Krampus has at least been nerfed for Warzone.
With the launch of Festive Fervor, the seasonal folklore creature known as Krampus has been an absolute menace in Warzone, acting as a bullet sponge and targeting victims at random with very little warning. Thankfully, Raven Software has tweeted an update was made to make Krampus encounters less frustrating, stating that Krampus made it to the very top of the Festive Fervor naughty list.
Looks like Krampus made it to the very top of the Festive Fervor naughty list. So…
• Krampus' health has been reduced significantly across all modes / respective squad sizes
• Krampus no longer spawns after the 4th Circle
Let this be a lesson to all those pesky Elves. 🎄

The December 21 update to Krampus should help with players’ frustration about how difficult Krampus was to kill, as the health of the creature has been reduced significantly across all modes and squad sizes. Another complaint was that Krampus was costing players a match win, because the creature would arrive late in the game when survival is most crucial. Thankfully, Krampus no longer spawns after the fourth circle, so players should still be able to focus on getting the win without fear of his wrath.
Krampus also gained a lot of haters in Vanguard’s multiplayer, as the creature was spawning in private matches and ruining Call of Duty Pro League scrims. Thankfully, Sledgehammer Games was able to correct this issue on December 17 before Krampus could ruin any of the past weekend’s big tournaments.
The Festive Fervor event arrived as walkouts continue in protest of surprise contract terminations within Raven Software’s QA team. Activision Blizzard faces lawsuits and other investigations related to alleged sexual harassment and discrimination against women.
