Elite Contracts New System

Elite contracts are an evolution of the classic contract system, offering a greater challenge for a greater reward.
Players can expect the same objectives with a considerable reduction (35%) in time to complete them.

In addition to normal contract rewards, they also drop:

$1,500 per player
80% more experience
An Elite Cache containing one of the following
Foresight Killstreak
Advanced UAV Killstreak
Specialist Perk Package
Redacted Weapon

Additional details:

7% of available contracts will become Elite
The game may spawn additional Elite contracts throughout the match
Any contract can become Elite except for Most Wanted
In Ranked Play, the Elite Cache drops a Legendary Weapon instead of the 4 other normal rewards
This feature will be disabled in World Series of Warzone

Recon Flyover New Public Event

This new public event spawns 2 large waves of Advanced UAVs over highly populated areas revealing anyone in their path.
Players near these Advanced UAVs are tracked live in the tac-map and minimap. Players must venture outside of the effect radius in order to stop being tracked.
Ghost and Counter UAVs do not counter the effect of this event.
Timing:
In Battle Royale, the public event can occur during circle 4.
In Resurgence, the public event can occur during circle 2.
