Warzone 2.0 is introducing a wealth of new features, updates, and modes, ensuring that players have an immersive and thrilling gaming experience. With the arrival of Massive Resurgence in Al Mazrah, a resurgence of Plunder mode, and a host of additional in-season features, Warzone 2.0 promises to be the ultimate playground for all Warzone competitors.
Massive Resurgence Comes to Al Mazrah
The fast-paced Resurgence mode is making a return with a new version called Massive Resurgence, set on the larger Al Mazrah map. Players can expect to face dozens of duos or other squad sizes as the player count is increased to accommodate the map size.
Plunder Arrives In-Season
Originally introduced in Call of Duty: Warzone, Plunder is making a comeback in Warzone 2.0 during Season 03. This respawn-enabled mode pits squads against each other in a mad dash for cash, with the team accumulating the most cash emerging victorious. Players can use their Loadouts from the first drop and will redeploy with a reduced portion of their current cash if eliminated.
New Gulag in Al Mazrah
A new Gulag, known as the Blacksite, will be introduced in Al Mazrah in Season 03. This training ground for Operators offers a rectangular, asymmetrical map with several interior spaces and long external routes.
New and Returning Features to Battle Royale
Warzone 2.0 is introducing new features across all Battle Royale modes, including Redeploy Drones in Al Mazrah, Tempered Plate Carriers, and UAV Towers. Additionally, expect more new and returning features and items to arrive as part of a Mid-Season Update, such as Decontamination Stations and Perk Package Items.
Deployable Buy Station and Gulag Entry Kit
In-Season additions include the Deployable Buy Station, a portable version of the Buy Station with limited stock, and the Gulag Entry Kit, which allows players to re-enter the fight via the Gulag even after their initial visit.
DMZ Overhaul: Barter System, Workbench, and More
The DMZ is getting a significant update with the introduction of the Barter System, allowing players to trade items for valuables, and the Workbench, which enables players to modify Contraband weapons for a fee. Active Duty Operator Slots, a new faction called REDACTED, new and remixed missions, and two new bosses are also coming to Warzone 2.0.
New Operators and Weapons in Season 03
Alejandro and Valeria, two rival characters from the Modern Warfare II campaign, join the roster of Operators in Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 online modes with the purchase of the Battle Pass for Season 03. Alejandro Vargas is a dedicated protector, serving in the Mexican Army Special Mission counterterror unit, while Valeria Garza is a former Mexican Army commando who defected to enforce cartels and later became the leader of the Las Almas Cartel. Additional Operators will be added throughout Season 03, reinforcing KorTac and SpecGru.
The Season 03 Battle Pass also introduces a legendary sniper rifle and a brand-new battle rifle, as well as other weapons arriving in-season. The FJX Imperium sniper rifle features hard-hitting .408 rounds, while the Cronen Squall battle rifle is chambered in 6.8 Wrath and designed for distance shooting and exceptional damage output. Two new sidearms will be available within Season 03 Reloaded.
The Trophy Hunt Event kicks off Season 03, where players can earn and exchange trophies for items such as weapon blueprints, vehicle skins, and Battle Pass Token Tier Skips. An exclusive mid-season camo challenge event will also be available.
A new Battle Pass offering, BlackCell, launches in Season 03, replacing the current Battle Pass Bundle. It includes over 7,000 COD Points of value, access to the full Season 03 Battle Pass, 20 Tier Skips, and exclusive content such as a BlackCell Operator and additional Battle Pass content. The Battle Pass also introduces an Automatic Pathing feature, allowing players to unlock content through a more streamlined process.
