All Warzone Season 5 teasers and what they mean Infinity WardWarzone content creators Nick ‘NICKMERCS’ Kolcheff, Tyler ‘Teep’ Polchow, and Jack ‘jackfrags’ Mason have received teasers from Activision about Season 5 of the battle royale – but what do they all mean? The hype has been building for Season 5 of Warzone after it was revealed that Activision has been sending some of the game’s top streamers packages, which contains a USB drive with a brief video clip to share with their fans. The three Warzone teasers that have been revealed so far, by NICKMERCS, Teep, and jackfrags, have hinted at details of an upcoming event in Verdansk, with all of the clips pointing to one date, August 5. With Season 4 ending on August 5, it is safe to assume that Season 5 will be starting on the same day but Activision and Infinity Ward clearly have some big plans for their first major in-game event. There has already been plenty of speculation surrounding this date, however, these teasers have now provided some major clues for Season 5, so let’s take a look at each of them and what they could all mean. NICKMERCS’ Warzone Season 5 teaser Popular Twitch streamer NICKMERCS was the first to receive one of these mysterious packages, on July 20, and he revealed that he had been given a ‘Black Rook’ chess piece, which stored a USB drive inside. Kolcheff opened it up during his stream and uncovered a video file on the USB, later sharing it for his fans to see. The clip itself was a recording from one of the trains, near Verdansk’s Train Station, and displayed a helicopter flying overhead. However, many viewers took notice of the train’s horn which also went off during the teaser, suggesting that someone was occupying the train and signaling its departure. The time and date of the event were also revealed during the brief video, as it is now expected to occur around 10:46 AM on August 5, although it is unclear how this will affect different time zones. Activision gave @NICKMERCS and the #MFAM a new teaser for #ModernWarfare and Warzone Season 5 💪 Details: https://t.co/FENcXOtME2 pic.twitter.com/L96J4zMfUB — Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) July 20, 2020 With the train expected to leave the station on August 5, this left many Warzone fans wondering just where it could be headed but the next two teasers seem to provide some more clues. Teep’s Warzone Season 5 teaser Call of Duty world champion Teep was another star to reveal a teaser for Season 5, however, he received a letter along with his chess piece, from Marcus Ortega of the Shadow Company. The Shadow Company was previously featured in Modern Warfare 2’s campaign mode, as an elite unit under the command of General Shepherd, and it appears as if they are ready to make their return to the franchise in Warzone’s Season 5. The letter shared some details about the private military unit and their mission, before issuing Teep a vague invite to “Find us on landing.” You can check out the full letter below. The clip that Teep shared took place twenty minutes after NICKMERCS’ teaser and was filmed inside a room that has not been seen before in Verdansk. Towards the end of the footage, a massive explosion seemingly takes place nearby, which could mark some major map changes coming in Season 5. Jackfrags’ Warzone Season 5 teaser The footage in Jackfrags’ teaser happens just moments after the explosion in Teep’s video and reveals that at least some of the area has remained intact following the blast. While it is hard to much out from the CCTV’s cracked lens, fans of the battle royale figured out that the clips that jackfrags and Teep received are both set to take place inside the stadium. https://twitter.com/jackfrags/status/1286057962998571008 The codes on the top left of these teasers signify different areas around the map where these events will take place. With the first two characters referring to the location within Verdansk’s Grid, as seen below. 6DTC7 = 6D Train Cart #7 – 5GCONCRSEA3 = 5G concourse level A section #3 – 5GTUNL2 = 5G Tunnel #2 – With the explosion seemingly happening in 5G section of the map, players are now expecting the inside of the Stadium to finally become accessible. While it is unclear just what kind of role the train will play in the explosion or the event, fans should be able to witness it in-game for themselves when Season 5 rolls around on August 5. Leakers also claimed that fans would be getting a reveal for the next Call of Duty 2020 title in a Warzone event, however, Activision or Infinity Ward has yet to reveal any clues suggesting this to be true.

All weapon buffs & nerfs in Warzone Season 3 update – Dexerto
All weapon buffs & nerfs in Warzone Season 3 update ActivisionIt’s balance changes galore in Warzone Season 3 — in total, 11 guns and 18 attachments have come under Raven Software’s microscope for buffs & nerfs as the battle royale deals with the fallout of the Verdansk nuke event. Warzone Season 3 is here — welcomed with a nuke, no less — and it’s massive, to say the least. Across the battle royale, there’s been a host of changes. This includes a raft of weapon changes, as Raven Software looks to balance Warzone’s huge arsenal of guns. In total, 11 guns were put under the microscope in the April 22 update, with changes ranging from bullet damage, to recoil adjustments and ADS values. Six of the 11 guns changed this season were assault rifles. On top of the gun-specific changes, at least 18 attachments have also changed this patch. The decision to change attachments as well as guns should “build variety,” Raven Software wrote in the Season 3 patch notes, released this week. PPsh-41, Swiss K31 added in Warzone Season 3 There’s plenty of changes that just dropped in the Season 3 update, yes, but there’s also new kids on the nuked Verdansk block: the PPSh-41 and the Swiss K31. The two new guns are an SMG and sniper rifle respectively, and will be available in the newly-released Season 3 battle pass that is now available in-game. The PPSh-41 is unlocked at Tier 15, while the Swiss K31 will require a grind all the way to Tier 31 if you want to get your hands on the new sniper rifle. Read More: Warzone Season 3 patch notes – The LC-10 and FARA 83 have also had new challenges added. M-16, AUG headline Warzone’s latest nerfs The biggest changes come in the assault rifle department; after reigning supreme for much of Season 2, the FFAR 1 has finally copped a major hit. In particular, its max damage and range have both been decreased (30 to 27, and a 15% drop). The rifle will now also deal less neck damage (1.1 → 1), less upper torso damage (1.1 → 1), and has had its ADS values “decreased slightly.” Meta picks like the M-16 and AUG have been whacked with similar nerfs. Both tactical rifles had their burst time chopped down, to 10% and 33% respectively, and suffered dints in their neck damage modifiers. The AUG now deals 1.3 more damage with neck shots, down from 1.8, while the M-16 dishes out just 1.1 damage if you land a lower-side neckshot. Here’s the full list of buffs & nerfs, below. These were included as part of the Warzone Season 3 patch notes, which dropped on April 22. All Warzone Season 3 buffs & nerfs Assault Rifles Cold War AK-47 Recoil pattern has been adjusted – FARA 83 Minimum damage increased from 25 to 26 – Maximum damage decreased from 33 to 31 – Maximum damage range increased by 17% – Recoil pattern has been adjusted – FFAR 1 Maximum damage decreased from 30 to 27 – Maximum damage range decreased by 15% – Neck damage multiplier changed from 1.1 to 1 – Upper torso damage multiplier changed from 1.1 to 1 – ADS speed decreased slightly – Groza Recoil increased slightly – ADS speed decreased slightly – Upper torso damage multiplier changed from 1.3 to 1.1 – Krig 6 Head damage multiplier changed from 1.4 to 1.5 – Neck damage multiplier changed from 1 to 1.3 – Upper torso damage multiplier changed from 1 to 1.1 – Lower torso damage multiplier changed from 1 to 1.1 – QBZ-83 Move speed increased – ADS move speed increased – Neck damage multiplier changed from 1 to 1.2 – Upper torso damage multiplier changed from 1 to 1.1 – Submachine Guns LC10 Bullet velocity increased slightly – Mac-10 Maximum damage decreased by 1 – Sniper Rifles Pelington 703 ADS speed increased – Raise time increased slightly – Tactical Rifles AUG (Tactical Rifle Charlie) Time between bursts increased by 33% – Neck damage multiplier changed from 1.8 to 1.3 – M16 Time between bursts increased by 10% – Neck damage multiplier changed from 1.8 to 1.1 – Attachments Position Concealment Position Concealment will reduce the time your position is visible on the compass and minimap after firing.

All Warzone Season 2 map changes: New Ship POI, Weapon Silos, closed-off locations – Dexerto
All Warzone Season 2 map changes: New Ship POI, Weapon Silos, closed-off locations ActivisionWarzone Season Two has arrived, and along with all the new content that Raven Software have added, there are several major changes to the Verdansk map. There’s no denying that many Warzone players were looking forward to possibly getting a new map in Season 2, and while there isn’t one just yet, the community will have to make do with several notable changes made to Verdansk. Headlining the map changes is the new Ship POI that’s brought Zombies back into Warzone. In addition, there are three new massive Weapon Silos that contain lots of valuable loot. To round off the list, the devs have opted to close off a few locations as well, including the Subway and six different bunkers. You can find a full breakdown of this below. Warzone Season 2: new Shipwreck POI “The doomed cargo tanker known as the Vodianoy has run aground in the low estuary of swamp ground less than a klick west of the Zordaya Prison Complex.” The cargo tanker that was getting closer and closer to Verdansk has finally made port, and by that we mean it’s crashed entirely into the shore near Prison. Officially called Shipwreck, this new POI is pretty massive in size, featuring a fully-accessible exterior area and several floors of interior space. Read More: Warzone Season 2 patch notes – The most important thing to know about the ship is that it’s infested with Zombies, as part of the new Outbreak Event going on in Cold War and Warzone. Killing these Zombies will earn you score to unlock new rewards in the event, and if you slay enough, you can get a yellow key card that unlocks crates with lots of high-tier loot. Killing Zombies at the Ship in Warzone will give you a “”Yellow Key Card”” that opens up yellow colored crates. Vid Credit: @BennyCentral pic.twitter.com/itIXN2lopt — CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) February 25, 2021 Warzone Season 2: new Weapon Silos “A team of Operators discovered Missile Silos hidden underneath the city’s three war monuments.” Also new to Verdansk are three Weapon Silos that contain lots of valuable weapons and items for players to loot. These Silos are actually pretty big, so you should definitely consider exploring through them if you have the chance. Where to find the Weapon Silos in Warzone Season 2: Jarvdinsk Spomenik above the Arklov Peak Military Base – Zoszni Spomenik southeast of the Novi Grazna Hills – Styor Spomenik in Tavorsk Park – Here are walkthroughs of all three Silos: MILITARY BASE Here’s a look through the first Weapon Silo, located near Military Base: pic.twitter.com/jgzAb9cdfT — Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) February 25, 2021 NOVI GRAZNA HILLS Walkthrough of the new Weapon Silo near Novi Grazna Hills. pic.twitter.com/pgPLKDWFNg — Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) February 25, 2021 TAVORSK PARK Final new Weapon Silo is located in a brand new hallway in Bunker 10 near Tavorsk Park. pic.twitter.com/QGYc46yag3 — Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) February 25, 2021 Warzone Season 2: Closed-off locations “Due to the contamination, security protocol mandates a complete shut down of the following locations.” Raven Software giveth and Raven Software taketh away. Balancing out all of the new additions to Verdansk are several areas that the devs have decided to restrict access to. These include the Subway system, Stadium Garage, and Bunkers 00, 04, 05, 06, 09, 11. At this point it’s not clear whether or not any of these POIs will be re-enabled, although that could be a moot point if Verdansk does end up getting destroyed during Season 2. That wraps up everything you need to know about the major map changes to Verdansk in Warzone Season 2; make sure to check out the following links for the rest of the Season 2 info in both Warzone and Black Ops Cold War:

All Warzone POW Camp locations for Rambo Fallen Soldier dog tags – Dexerto
All Warzone POW Camp locations for Rambo Fallen Soldier dog tags ActivisionRambo and Die Hard have taken over Warzone for the time being with some special movie-themed locations coming to Verdansk. Here’s how you can find POW Camps for the Fallen Soldier dog tags. After a few rumors, teasers, and eventual leaks, the worlds of Rambo and Die Hard came to Warzone with the May 19 update. Warzone players can buy skins of both John Rambo and John McClane with the 80’s Action Heroes bundle, and live out their dreams of fighting through Nakatomi Plaza. The update also included some map changes and challenges for players to get their teeth into, including a bunch of POW (Prisoner of War) Camps that are iconic in the Rambo franchise. These locations have dog tags to claim, but if you’re not careful, you may miss out. Where to get Fallen Soldier dog tags at Warzone POW Camps In total, there are 10 POW Camps in Warzone, four in the north, four in the center of the map, and two to the south. To get them to appear on your in-game mini-map, you need to go to the CIA Outpost that can be found at the Airport and interact with the whiteboard. Once you’ve done so, the POW Camps will appear on your map for that game. However, once you leave and start another game, they won’t re-appear unless you retrace your steps. So, you may as well just make a note of them the first time around. Drop into a game of Warzone – Head to the CIA Outpost at Airport – Interact with the whiteboard – The POW Camps will appear on your map – How to find Rambo dog tags in Warzone When you visit a POW Camp, you have the chance to collect the Fallen Soldier dog tags. However, if you’re too slow, another team can claim them. It appears as if one set of dog tags spawns at each separate camp in each game, so there are only ten up for grabs. Plus, players have reported that you can only carry one set of tags per match, so you will have to repeat the process a few times to complete the dog tags-related challenge. Once you do, you’ll get a unique calling card and 1000 XP to help you towards your next level. Don’t forget, these locations are limited-time only, so you can’t wait forever to complete the challenge. So, jump on in!

All Warzone Pacific gameplay changes: Dead Silence, shallow water, contracts, more – Dexerto
All Warzone Pacific gameplay changes: Dead Silence, shallow water, contracts, more ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone Pacific’s Season 1 patch notes revealed some intriguing new gameplay changes coming with Vanguard’s integration and the Caldera map. Here’s how they will impact the meta and pace. Just over a week before the launch of Warzone Pacific Season 1’s Vanguard integration and Caldera map launch, patch notes were released on November 30. While the update’s centerpiece was the shiny new map, some gameplay changes are quite intriguing as well. For competitive players, the tweaks to field upgrades and equipment should hold weight for the Warzone meta. For casuals, adjustments to loadouts should affect the game’s pace, alongside additions of contracts, vehicles, and shallow water. To save you from wading knee-deep into the patch notes themselves, we’ve compiled some of the biggest adjustments. Here’s what they are and how they should impact the game. Warzone Pacific Season 1: Field Upgrades and Tactical, Lethal Equipment Warzone Pacific patch notes are wild. 🔹 Stuns & Heartbeat Sensors nerfed 🔹 Stims now add movement speed 🔹 Dead Silence nerfed, Stopping Power removedAll that, new map, anti-cheat, and more changes? Competitive WZ gonna be diffy 👀 pic.twitter.com/YxXwqd68DG — Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) November 30, 2021 The equipment meta in Warzone has stayed relatively constant for two years. But starting in Warzone Pacific and Vanguard Season 1, Dead Silences will be nerfed and Stopping Power Rounds will be removed completely. Further, a number of equipment changes are intriguing. The omnipresent Heartbeat Sensors and Stun Grenades are both getting nerfed, while Stim Shots are getting a buff (adding movement speed now) and all lethal equipment appear to be getting damage buffs as well. These tweaks should open the meta up, but players will need to test them out when the new season drops on December 8/9 first. Interestingly, items like Snapshot Grenades and Decoy Grenades are also getting buffed — possibly to open up the tactical slot. Warzone Pacific Season 1: Loadouts, Contracts, Shallow Water As for the map’s general pacing, there are a number of changes that should affect literally everyone — not just those who care for the meta. The simplest change is to loadouts, which will now only be available for purchase after the first public loadout drop. While that loadout mechanic will be familiar to Iron Trials players, the contracts are brand new. First is the Supply Drop Contract, which essentially drops a Care Package (like the killstreak) on the map. The contract team gets the location, but anyone can grab it. Second is the Big Game Bounty contract, which puts a bounty on the player with the highest kill count in the entire game. This is pretty spicy and puts a target on the most dangerous player’s head. There’s also a Top Secret Contract, but no one knows what it is just yet. Lastly, an interesting mechanic introduced to the game will be “shallow water.” Essentially, Caldera will feature water that players can swim or crouch in — which will give them the ColD Blooded perk temporarily. This basically adds a new layer of stealth to the game, counteracting the Tracker perk and granting some sneakiness to Warzone players. Fire-based equipment also creates smoke when they hit the water, so soldiers can turn Molotovs and the like into Smoke Grenades when trying to cross through water unseen.

All Warzone Pacific Caldera locations in real life: Capital, Terminal, Peak & more – Dexerto
All Warzone Pacific Caldera locations in real life: Capital, Terminal, Peak & more ActivisionThe new Warzone Pacific Caldera map is heavily inspired by real-life locations from around the world, and that played a part in World War II. Here are the real places that inspired Warzone’s new POIs, including Capital and Terminal. Warzone’s original Verdansk map was heavily inspired by real locations. From regions of Donetsk, Ukraine, to the building that starred as Nakatomi Plaza in the first Die Hard movie, there were plenty of winks to actual places. It appears that the new Pacific Caldera map will be no different. Reddit user Metaforze managed to dig up the very real Pacific locations that seem to have inspired some of the new POIs. Check out all of the real locales in Warzone Pacific Caldera, compared side-by-side. Capital – Ali’iolani Hale The Capital POI in Caldera is almost a carbon copy of Ali’iolani Hale, found in downtown Honolulu. Everything from the clock face to the supporting pillars has been plucked and placed straight into Warzone. Roughly translating to “House of Heavenly Kings,” the building was built in the 1800s and is home to the Hawaiʻi State Supreme Court. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks in all of Hawaii. Unfortunately, the famous statue of Kamehameha the Great hasn’t made its way into the game, but everything else seems to be here. Peak – Haleakalā Observatory Caldera’s highest point features a military battery installation for players to fight over, an ideal spot for weathering the endgame storm. Found on the island of Maui, the Haleakala Observatory was Hawaii’s first astronomical research spot when it was built in 1961. To look at, Peak doesn’t share too many similarities to the Haleakala Observatory, outside of its round shape and white color. However, both sit on top dormant volcanoes, so there’s no doubt that Sledgehammer is giving it a nod. Royal Cabana Resort – Royal Hawaiian Hotel The Royal Hawaiian Hotel is one of the world’s most striking hotels, thanks mainly to its pink color. It makes sense, then, that the Warzone devs would want it as a key location in Caldera. It’s a hotel that has become one of the most luxurious in all of Hawaii, with many celebrities staying there throughout its 90-year history. Royal Cabana Resort takes not only its bright palette but the building’s structure too. Both the arches and the roof share undeniable similarities with each other. Shark’s Lair Submarine Pen – Lorient Submarine Base Moving away from Hawaii, France’s Lorient Submarine Base shares very similar architecture to the Sub Pen POI. Vanguard players will also recognize this as the Sub Pens multiplayer map. Used by the German Navy in the Second World War, it was home to many of the U-boats that dominated the seas. Following their surrender, Lorient was taken over by the French navy. It remained in use until 1995, after which it was converted to civilian use. You can still visit the base to this day. Terminal – Ford Island Control Tower Last but not least, Warzone Pacifc’s Terminal POI takes more than a few cues from Ford Island in Pearl Harbor. Given its historical significance, it’s no surprise to see it show in Caldera. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a huge turning point in WWII and was the catalyst for the United States joining the conflict. Both Ford Island and the Terminal POI share clean white buildings with a red control room. There was a similar location in Verdansk, but it stood out far less. Those were all of the real-life locations in Warzone Pacific that we know of so far. Keen fans will be scouring the internet to find any more once the new chapter goes live, so we’ll be sure to update his page with any new discoveries.

All Warzone MW3 maps: Battle royale, Resurgence, more – Dexerto
All Warzone MW3 maps: Battle royale, Resurgence, more ActivisionWarzone is receiving a major update at the tail end of 2023, as the launch of Modern Warfare 3 brings a whole new field of play to the Call of Duty ecosystem. This includes a whole new battle royale map and significant movement changes, among other things, but which maps will be in the game when it comes out? At COD Next, Activision revealed both Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer and the brand-new Warzone experience that players will get to hop into in early December. Not only did players get to see how the new map, Urzikstan, plays, but there was also news regarding which maps would be playable in Warzone at launch — as well as some classics coming back in the new year. Here’s everything we know on MW3 Warzone maps so far. Contents MW3 Warzone launch maps At launch, MW3’s Warzone integration will have the battle royale, resurgence, and Plunder modes across three maps. Those maps will be: Urzikstan – Vondel – Ashika Island – The game will launch with Season 1 of Modern Warfare 3, so expect these maps and modes to be playable in early to mid-December. Old Warzone maps returning Not only are the three maps above going to be in the new Warzone, but there will be more to come down the line — including two classic maps that Warzone 1 players will love. As promised during COD Next, in 2024, Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep will make their grand returns to the Call of Duty battle royale, though details on their returns are scarce right now. Will Verdansk come back? At the time of writing, there has been no suggestion that Verdansk will come back to Warzone, though it will be available in Warzone Mobile, alongside Rebirth Island. Many players have speculated that since a number of Campaign missions will have Verdansk locations, and they have been seen in some of the art and trailers from the game, that the developers must be gearing up to re-introduce Verdansk at a later date. That’s everything we know about the next iteration of Warzone and its maps so far. For more, check out the rest of our MW3 coverage.

Here’s every buff and nerf affecting Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2. The sixth season of Call of Duty Warzone in Modern Warfare 2 marks the final season in the game before it gives way to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on November 10. To mark the end of the MW2 cycle, the devs are having a bit of a blowout and finally bringing the spooky season to Warzone. That’s right, the popular Haunting event will return this season, bringing a nighttime version of Al-Mazrah to the game. On top of that, there are also three new weapons – the TR-76 Geist, ISO 9mm SMG, and Dual Kamas melee axes. The two guns are available immediately via the battle pass and should jump right into the top end of the meta amid a whole host of weapon changes. All Warzone 2 & Modern Warfare 2 weapon changes in Season 6 That’s right, it wouldn’t be a new season without changes to the current crop of weapons and the devs have delivered on that front again. The popular ISO Hemlock and Kastov 762 have both been hit with a swift nerf, as the devs have tweaked their damage multipliers decreased. The Kastov has also had it’s close-range damage nerfed, but has seen its close damage range increased. On the flip side, the Lachmann-762 has been given a little bit of love and had all of its damage multipliers increased. Additionally, every other battle rifle bar the Cronen Squall – which has been nerfed – has been buffed in one way or another. So, that’s good news for battle rifle users. As noted, Season 6 is very much the final season of Warzone in MW2, and with the release of MW3 only being a few weeks away, it remains to be seen if we’ll get a mid-season Reloaded update. For now, though, You can find the complete range of weapons buffs and nerfs for Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 6 below.

All Warzone map changes in Season 4 update: New Satellite Crash POIs, Red Doors, more – Dexerto
All Warzone map changes in Season 4 update: New Satellite Crash POIs, Red Doors, more ActivisionWith the arrival of Warzone Season 4, Verdansk has been updated with a number of new changes to popular POIs and even a drastic Gulag overhaul. Here’s every map change you need to know about. No different from previous seasonal updates, Warzone Season 4 brought with it a good number of map changes across Verdansk. Ranging from a few minor adjustments to entirely new additions at popular POIs, there are a few key things to wrap your head around. Outside of the adjustments to Verdansk itself, we also have a new Red Door fast-travel system and even a completely fresh Gulag experience as well. Before you drop into the brand new season, here’s a comprehensive list of map changes in Warzone Season 4. New Satellite Crash POIs in Warzone Season 4 Up first are the new Satellite Crash POIs around Verdansk. As part of the Ground Fall event kicking things off, Satellites have crash-landed throughout the map, as the name may have implied. Four locations, in particular, have been altered as a result of these crashed Satellites. Krovnik Farmland was first in line as you’ll now be able to find one of these crash sites in the middle of a field. Next is Bloc 18 which now has a crash site located right next to the Salt Mines POI. Furthermore, Bloc 16 closeby also has a Satellite next to the Airport Control Tower. Last but not least is Gora Bridge which was impacted by the final Satellite crash. This location appears to be more visibly damaged than others as bricks have been sent flying as a result of the explosion. New Hijacked Gulag in Warzone Season 4 Outside of Verdansk itself, we also have a new Gulag layout for the beginning of Season 4. Taking inspiration from yet another classic Black Ops map, this time around we have the popular Hijacked taking over the Gulag. Replacing the Standoff layout, this new design should make veteran players feel right at home. Additional map changes in Season 4 Outside of these drastic changes, a few other smaller tweaks have been made in Season 4. Downtown Tower is now “under new management” after a season inspired by 80’s Action heroes. This location should still play just the same as usual, but with a slightly different appearance. Finally, there’s a brand new fast-travel system in place across Verdansk as well. The previously leaked Red Doors are now scattered throughout the map, allowing players to teleport from one POI to another.

All Warzone map changes in Season 3 Reloaded update: New Rambo & Die Hard locations – Dexerto
All Warzone map changes in Season 3 Reloaded update: New Rambo & Die Hard locations ActivisionThe Warzone Season 3 Reloaded ‘midseason’ update brings with it several major map changes to Verdansk ’84, including new POIs themed after the Rambo and Die Hard films. It’s rare to see any significant map changes midway through a season in Warzone, but that’s exactly what Raven Software have cooked up for the upcoming mid-Season 3 Reloaded patch. With iconic movie characters like Rambo and Die Hard’s John McClane coming to Call of Duty, Activision want to amplify the battle royale’s connection to those classic ’80s films with new themed locations in Verdansk. One thing that is important to note, however, is all of the map changes highlighted here are officially called “limited time locations,” meaning that they will be reverted after a period of time. Nakatomi Plaza added to Downtown Anyone who’s seen Die Hard will recognize Nakatomi Plaza, the massive skyscraper that stands 490 feet tall. The 35-story building is coming to Downtown, replacing the Broadcast Tower and surrounding blocks in the southern end of the POI. Nakatomi Plaza will feature optional side-missions as well that players can complete for in-game rewards, including disarming the tower roof with C4, interrupting an arms deal, and cracking the vault in the Plaza. New Rambo-themed Survival Camps The various campsites spread around Verdansk are being transformed into Survival Camps, themed after the Vietnamese camps that are seen throughout the Rambo films. As with Nakatomi Plaza, these now locations also include side-missions that involve collecting Dog Tags for rewards. CIA Outpost One of the aircraft hangers located in the northwest area of Verdansk is being converted to a new location called CIA Outpost, once again from the Rambo films. Specifically, this POI will resemble the CIA outpost in First Blood Part II, the sequel to the original Rambo movie. When is the Warzone Season 3 Reloaded update? All of these map changes will officially go live with the midseason update on Wednesday, May 19 at 9PM PT, which means overnight on Thursday morning for most of the world. Here are the global release times for this patch: 9:00 PM PT – May 19 – 11:00 PM CT – May 19 – 12:00 AM ET – May 20 – 5:00 AM BST (UK) – May 20 – 6:00 AM CEST (Europe) – May 20 – 2:00 PM AEST (Australia) – May 20 – You can check out everything new coming to this update in the Warzone Season 3 Reloaded patch notes here.

All Warzone locations in real life: Stadium, Airport, Tower & more – Dexerto
All Warzone locations in real life: Stadium, Airport, Tower & more Infinity WardCall of Duty: Warzone’s Verdansk map is heavily inspired by real-life locations, buildings and regions of Donetsk, Chernobyl and other Ukrainian landmarks. You’ll know all of these locations in Warzone like the back of your hand by now, but seeing just how closely they resemble real places is eye-opening. This isn’t really a shock since most Call of Duty games feature levels inspired by real-world locations, such as the Chernobyl pool which has featured in a number of CoD games. Here you’ll find all the real-life locations in Warzone, compared side-by-side. Warzone Stadium – Donbass Arena No, the above image is not an in-game screenshot of the Stadium location on the Warzone map – it’s an actual picture of the Donbass Arena in Donetsk, Ukraine. Upon Verdansk’s launch, the roof was originally closed. This changed over time, though, with the opening of the roof in Season 5 adding another dimension to the battle royale’s already varied map. Donbass Arena was built in 2009 as the home for FC Shakhtar Donetsk of the Ukrainian Premier League and for use in UEFA Euro 2012, but the ongoing conflict in the region forced the team to relocate and the stadium to close to the public in 2014. Shakthar Stadium – Verdansk 84′ Stadium When Verdansk moved back to the 80s, the developers changed the stadium to Shakhtar Stadium, also in Donetsk. Although the stadium is still there today, it is no longer used by the football team, who now play at the Donbass Arena. The Warzone replica is nearly identical, with the same floodlight designs, commentary boxes and overhanging roof. Verdansk Airport & Tower – Donetsk Airport & Tower Next, we’ll travel to the Verdansk airport, whose terminal and control tower are almost exact matches for the Donetsk Airport in real-life. The tower in Warzone looks well on its way to collapsing, but that would fit with its IRL counterpart, which was destroyed during a battle for the airport in 2015. Really, the only difference between the two towers is the Warzone version comes with fewer windows, and also doesn’t have an external stairway attached. Verdansk Pool – Chernobyl pool First featured in Call of Duty 4, this abandoned swimming pool in Chernobyl is an iconic location, showing how people would have lived before the nuclear disaster in 1986. The city was left derelict and in total ruin, but it also makes for a dark and intense location, both in Call of Duty multiplayer and campaign, and now Warzone. Grid Radar Array – Duga Radar (Chernobyl) Located in the forests of Ukraine, the Duga radar was once “one of the most powerful military facilities in the Soviet Union’s communist empire.” It’s 150 meters high, and was intended by Soviet scientists to prevent long-range missile threats came with a huge radar, that would be able to look over the curvature of the earth. But, the scientists apparently lacked “full understanding of how the ionosphere works”, and so the whole project was never going to work from the very start. Now, it sits in ruin, in complete isolation. Gora Dam – Dnieper Hydroelectric Station The Gora Dam might be the single largest structure in Warzone itself, and it seems to bear a striking resemblance to the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station, the largest dam in Ukraine. Being a video game, Call of Duty devs were able to make their dam seam even larger than its IRL counterpart, which is one of the biggest in Europe. Read More: Best XM4 loadout in Warzone – Unlike our last two examples, the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station is still functioning and open to the public with a highway running across the top, just like the Gora Dam. Salt Mine – Soledar Salt Mine Although not an exact match, the Soledar salt mine looks to be clear inspiration for the Quarry / Salt Mine in Warzone now. Much of Ukraine’s economy is based on mining, so it’s an important feature in a Ukraine-inspired map. Nakatomi Plaza – Fox Plaza For the 80s heroes event, Warzone added Nakatomi Plaza, made famous by the original Die Hard movie. But, for the movie, Fox Plaza in Los Angeles was used, so this too is a real location, still standing today. In real life, it is actually much bigger than in the game, at 34 stories high. Verdansk Parliament – Ukrainian Parliament While the materials, along with the color of the stone and the shape of the building itself, differ from the real-life counterpart, it’s incredibly apparent that the Ukrainian parliament building is the basis for the one seen here. Rebirth Island – Alcatraz Rebirth Island is a reimagining of Black Ops 4: Blackout’s Alcatraz Island map, and so the comparisons here, to many, are obvious. Only hosting 40 players maximum, this smaller and more intimate experience is. Read More: Rebirth Island best landing spots – Featuring an incredibly similar layout, with the central building on a hill surrounded by outbuildings and a dock, it’s uncanny when comparing it to its real-life counterpart. Verdansk bank – Donetsk bank Finally, even smaller buildings from Donetsk, like the green bank above, seemed to be copied to fill out the town of Verdansk. The in-game version has fewer windows, but it’s immediately apparent from the awnings and the large window on the front these two buildings are one and the same. Atlas Supermarket Verdansk – Metro Supermarket Donetsk While the Atlas Supermarket’s real-life counterpart has since been torn down, the structure is a dead-ringer for its video game version. Featuring similar columns on either side of the gigantic, curved sign, only a few small differences set these two apart. That’s all of the real-life counterparts that we’re aware of in Warzone. Be sure to check back, as we’ll continue to add to this list as more real-world locations are revealed.

All Warzone bunker codes: Locations, map, more – Dexerto
All Warzone bunker codes: Locations, map, more ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone is full of bunkers, some with key codes, some requiring red access cards, and some involving easter egg hunts. From the code-locked bunkers to the phone and computer-based Bunker 11, here’s all the current Warzone bunker codes. Warzone’s big Season 3 update brought a host of new content and features to the game. While Verdansk ’84 is littered with new POIs and locations, the bunkers have been closed and currently remain inaccessible to players. This is obviously a shame for squads that enjoyed getting their hands on the best floor loot. Despite this, it is likely that these bunkers will be accessible in the future. As of writing, there are three types of bunkers in Warzone: 1) Those that require red access cards, 2) those that require readily available key codes, and 3) those that require completing a complicated easter egg. Warzone bunker locations The Warzone bunkers had taken a bit of a backseat in Season 3. While there are 12 bunkers in various locations around Verdansk, and 11 of them can usually be opened through either a keycard or a key code, it seems like all of them are currently inaccessible. That being said, if they open up again, there is a wealth of loot available for you and your teammates. Inside, Legendary Supply Boxes, Epic weapon blueprints, and stacks of cash will be laying around ready for you to swoop up. Read More: Best Warzone Weapons: Ultimate Tier List – Bunker 11 (located North-West of Military Base) normally requires you and your squad to complete a hidden easter egg to grant you access. If you manage to successfully slip in, then you’ll earn an exclusive Legendary MP7 weapon blueprint — check out our step-by-step guide on how to open the bunker with phones! Bunker 00: Located south of Hills, in Sector D8 – Bunker 01: Located between the racing track and the junkyard in Sector B7 – Bunker 02: Located north of the junkyard, in Sector B6 – Bunker 03: Located north of junkyard, near Bunker 03 in Sector B5 – Bunker 04: Located south of Dam, in Sector D2 – Bunker 05: Located south of Military Base, in Sector E3 – Bunker 06: Located southeast of Quarry, in Sector H3 – Bunker 07: Located south of Quarry, in Sector H4 – Bunker 08: Located south of Quarry, next to Bunker 07, in Sector G4 – Bunker 09: Located near Prison, in Sector I8 – Bunker 10: Located south of Park, in Sector F8 – All Warzone bunker codes All the Warzone bunker access codes can be found below: Warzone Boneyard bunkers (0-1): 87624851 and 97264138 – Warzone Park bunker (2):60274513 – Warzone Prison bunker (3): 72948531 – Warzone Farmland bunker (4): 49285163 – Warzone TV Station bunker (5): 27495810 – How to get inside Bunker 11 in Warzone Getting inside Bunker 11 will require a little more work compared to the previous bunkers. You don’t need a keycard to access this bunker. However, you do need to track down a phone (highlighted by icons on the map) that will be playing a message in Russian. To complete the easter egg, you’ll need to know the locations of each phone. Phones are dotted all over the map and are usually found on a desk of some kind. You’ll know when you’ve found one of the phones, as you’ll be able to interact with it and listen to either a message in Russian (relating to the Bunker 11 easter egg) or a flat dial tone. Spoiler warning: Don’t read on if you intend on completing the aforementioned Bunker 11 easter egg. After completing the Bunker 11 easter egg, players will see a few storyline teasers, including a nuke workshop. To top things off, players can interact with a computer inside the bunker (which some believe ties into a second easter egg associated with the remaining computers around the map). With that in mind, there are five currently known computer locations on the surface of Verdansk, with the majority located in the South-East portion of the map. Other bunkers and underground structures in Verdansk Beyond the 12 bunkers in the game, there were also a few other underground structures that had been added to the game during its Season 1 and Season 2 updates. The Airport “bunker” added in Warzone’s Season 1 update is more of a landing location than a traditional Verdansk bunker. However, it’s by far the biggest on the map and is filled with plenty of loot to prepare you for a match. The bunker can be accessed by parachuting into a giant hole located in the center of Verdansk’s Airport runway or by finding the access ladder towards the end of the runway. It’s worth noting that this is an extremely popular landing spot so don’t expect to be alone once you’re inside. Beyond that, there are three Missile Silos that opened up with Season 2, which could also be counted as bunkers, as they do give you a good amount of loot. They aren’t traditional bunkers in the sense that you need a code to open them, however, they are still underground areas that can be explored. So there you have it, every bunker, phone, and computer location currently known in Warzone’s Verdansk. We’ll be updating this page as time goes on, so if new information becomes available about these bunkers and how to access them, you can check back here. Until then, keep it locked to Dexerto.

All Warzone blueprint weapon locations on Rebirth Reinforced map – Dexerto
All Warzone blueprint weapon locations on Rebirth Reinforced map ActivisionAs Warzone Season 2 Reloaded brought us Rebirth Reinforced, you need to know where the hot drops are. So, we have compiled a list of every blueprint weapon you can get on and where to find them. The mid-season update dropped on March 23 with a brand-new Rebirth experience. From new POIs to a Weapon Trade System, there’s a lot to discover. While players feel out the new environment, they have found stuff like keycards that reward players with rare weapons. However, there are also Legendary Blueprints that are hidden on the map and easily accessible. Here’s which weapons are available and where they are located. Rebirth Reinforced weapon blueprints & locations There are 15 different blueprint weapons that are chilling around Rebirth after the Season 2 Reloaded update. Reddit user ‘ohhAtaraxia’ provided a map that outlines the general area of these guns. Each of these have fully-kitted Legendary weapons that can easily propel you through the early-game and find some victories. Here are the ones available and where to find them Swiss K31: Wake Up Call, Stronghold Tower – DMR: Piercing Strike, Tents Wall – MP5 (MW): Buzzkiller, Tents – MAC-10: Cross Multiply, Bottom Control – Buren: Spoiled Rotten, Top Prison – Kar98k (MW): The Tower, Lighthouse Tower – Kilo 141: Homecoming, Nova 6 Basement – AMAX: Shadow Realm, Living Quarters – Streetsweeper: Brutalizer, Prison Cells under the zipline – HDR: Feral, Water Tower – Bullfrog: Silent Death, Chemical Engineering/Decon Tunnel – Nailgun: Puncture Wound, Prison Yard – FFAR: Great Emperor, Shoreline Bunker – Stoner: Denominator, Bio Basement – R9-0: Krakatoa, Boiler Room at Chemical Engineering – If you’re still having trouble finding them then you can check out ohhAtaraxia’s video, where they show off the exact location of each. It’s important to note that unlike the Red Room Milano, which could be acquired previously by doing the vault easter egg, these are not permanently unlocked after getting them. So, if you don’t have these already, they won’t be added to your inventory, but this could server as a good landing spot until you can get your desired loadout.

All Warzone 2 Vondel secret loot containers: Locations & how to unlock – Dexerto
All Warzone 2 Vondel secret loot containers: Locations & how to unlock Activision/YouTube: GeekyPastimesVondel is quickly becoming a fan-favorite map in Warzone 2, as players look for some more fast-paced action away from Al Mazrah. But if you’re looking for the best start possible when you land, you might want to head for a secret loot container to get premium weapons and equipment. In many Warzone maps since the original game first launched in 2020, the devs occasionally add in locations for top-tier loot, but naturally, they become high-stakes when players start attempting to drop there en-masse. But half the battle is knowing where these locations are, and how you keep running into players that have gold-tier loot so early in the game. Here’s everything you need to know about Vondel’s secret loot containers. Vondel loot container locations Here are all of the locations for the Vondel loot containers, including marks on the map to help you easily find them as you’re flying in: University – Fire Station – Central Station – Cruise Terminal – Windmill – Mall – The issue is — they don’t spawn in the same spots every time, so you’ll have to manually check each place to see where the loot container has ended up, adding some luck to the draw. Not only that, but you then also have to unlock the containers. Unlock Vondel loot containers After finding the loot container, you will have to shoot five different security sensors positioned near the container. There are usually four outside the main location and one inside. All security sensors emit a loud tone when in close proximity, but keep in mind that the security sensors’ progress is also shared across the entire lobby, so other players will know how you’re progressing. What is in them? After destroying the five sensors, the loot container will open and reveal its hidden treasures. This includes four weapon blueprints, a UAV, and two Field Upgrades (Ammo and Armor boxes), making it perfect for any squad size, from solos to quads. So, be sure to go searching for these loot containers when you drop in for a good chance at some premium loot. If you’re in a squad, it might even be worth splitting up a little so as to easier find the containers.

So whether you’re just dropping in for the first time or an experienced DMZ grinder looking ahead at what’s next, here’s a full breakdown of the latest Faction Missions in Warzone 2’s DMZ mode. Legion Missions in DMZ First up in the DMZ is Legion, a private military looking to hire new recruits for its bidding. That’s where you come in, assisting the organization in taking control of certain regions in Al Mazrah. Below is a full look at all Legion Missions up for grabs in the DMZ. White Lotus Missions Second in the chain of command is the White Lotus, a faction with plenty of experience in Al Mazrah. With your help, they’re looking to regain control of the locale by any means necessary. White Lotus Missions can only be unlocked upon the completion of all Legion Missions in the DMZ. We’ll be sure to update you right here once we’ve progressed further in the new Warzone 2 mode. Black Mous Missions Last but not least comes the Black Mous, the final group offering Missions in the DMZ. Maintaining anonymity, very little is known about those in charge of this particular faction, only that they aim to take Al Mazrah for themselves. This third tier of Missions can only be unlocked by first completing all Legion and White Lotus Missions. Be sure to check back soon as we’ll have a full rundown on these Missions once we get to them.

To make the most of them you’ll need to know where they are, so here’s every Warzone DMZ Dead Drop location as of Season 6. Infinity Ward’s extraction shooter mode DMZ is not for the faint of heart. Inspired by Escape from Tarkov and other extraction shooters, this mode introduced in 2022 sees players lose all of their gear and weapons if they go down in DMZ.

Nice and easy to spot as it’s in the open. Northwest of Fire Department Against the wall next to a ladder leading to the nearby rooftop, northwest of the Fire Department.

The enemy player gets tracked as soon as you start the contract while you get a limited time to eliminate them. If you’re able to complete this contract successfully, cash and XP will be rewarded to you in return. Most Wanted Contract The Most Wanted contract makes you the hottest target in Al Mazrah. It is quite the opposite of a Bounty contract as players will try to take you down instead. However, great rewards come with great risks and this is one of them. Once you pick the contract, the timer starts and you get limited time to survive. If you manage to survive successfully, then each and every eliminated player from your team will get revived at the same time, even after the Gulag gets closed. You also get some cash and XP as a reward. In case you get eliminated by any enemy team, they get some cash rewards in return. Safecracker Contract If you want to get your hands on good cash and loot quickly and repeatedly, then the Safecracker contract might just be the one for you. Once you pick the contract, you’ll see three icons in the shape of a ‘safe’ or ‘locker’ around you. These three safes are located in three different places in the same area and are filled with cash and great loot. Once you have gathered enough cash from these safes, you can head over to a Buy Station to bring back a dead teammate or buy that decked-up weapon from your loadout. Secure Intel Contract The Secure Intel contract is a bit more complex than the previous three and needs to be completed in two parts. In the first part, you’ll need to find a laptop that may be located anywhere in Al Mazrah. From this laptop, you need to recover some important data. Once you are done retrieving it, head to the location marked on the map. There, you’ll need to upload the same data to a computer and it’s done. It takes a bit of time to upload but once you’re done, you’ll get cash and XP as rewards. While it seems to be a tedious task to do, it also gives you the intel on where the next circle is going to end up. From there, you can proceed to plan your game toward victory with your mates. Tactical Nuke Contract Last but not least comes the Tactical Nuke contract in Warzone 2. It’s also known as the Champions Quest and getting it is the most difficult task in the game. The basic concept of the contract is the same as that of multiplayer – get your hands on Nuke and win the game instantly. However, the way it works in the battle royale is a bit different and requires you to find three elements. Once you start the contract, you get 27 minutes to collect them, locate the bombsite, put all the elements in the bomb, and arm the Nuke. If you manage to defend the site for two minutes straight, the nuke will go off and the match will be yours! In case you were wondering how to get Tactical Nuke in Warzone 2, our guide has everything you need to know. So, there you have it — that’s all about contracts in Warzone 2.

All Tomogunchi pets found in Modern Warfare so far – Dexerto
All Tomogunchi pets found in Modern Warfare so far Infinity WardTomogunchi pets arrived in the March 3 update, allowing players to raise and take care of virtual pets within Modern Warfare just by playing the game. Here’s the list of all the Tomogunchi pets currently available, and how to get some of them. Activision and Infinity Ward were purposefully tight-lipped with the different type of adult pets that your Tomogunchi could evolve into, as well as how each one could be further evolved. In their announcement article, they said that every pet has a different way to charge its bonus charge meter – either Captures, Killstreaks, Plants, or Top Three Wins – and left it up to the player base to figure it out themselves. While the first four steps of the Tomogunchi’s life are the same for everyone, there are several variants of the adult with different steps needed to unlock and evolve. Different variables will determine what creatures it evolves into, and each creature has a secret form. Here’s the full list we have so far, but keep in mind that everything here has been discovered mostly through community discovery, so it may not be fully complete. Riley the Dog Everyone’s favorite canine companion from the Call of Duty series, Riley from Ghosts, is available as an adult Tomogunchi variant. You can tell it’s Riley by the piece of headgear on the dog’s head. Riley was part of the trio of adult types shown in the trailer. Panda A normally peaceful creature, the precious panda must be kept safe during times of war. The panda was also part of the trio of adult types that was shown in the trailer. Dragon The dragon is the third and final part of the trio that was shown during the trailer for Tomogunchi. Players have been speculating that explosive damage or thermite/molotov kills are what causes your pet to evolve into a Dragon. One player on reddit said he played a lot of Hardcore mode, and got its special form. Ghost The iconic character from the Modern Warfare series isn’t just back as an operator, he’s available as an adult variant on your Tomogunchi watch. Now, if your Tomogunchi appears as a literal ghost, with the white bedsheet body and creepy smile, I’m afraid your pet is dead, and you’ll have to start over. Bat The winged creature of the night is an adult variant option for your Tomogunchi. A member of the developer team hinted that getting 10 execution kills with the Bat will lead to one of its secret forms, but it looks like you’ll need ten in a single game. Pony According to the same developer from above, the Pony comes up because of “average care.” So far, there haven’t been any photos of the Pony that have surfaced, so it seems no one knows what “average care” means. If you want to unlock its secret form, then don’t bank your bonus time while its an adult, because that completes its cycle and resets it. Unfortunately, while there’s plenty of information regarding how to advance the Tomogunchi through its life stages, there’s very little about what variables lead to the different Adult types, as well as what leads to their secret forms. You’ll have to experiment with different variations of the pet’s feelings, represented by the four squares on the right side of the watch face. From top to bottom it’s Hunger (Kills), Dirty (Win Games), Unruly (Objective Score), and Boredom (Activate Killstreaks).

All the Details We Have So Far About the Call of Duty ‘Blackout’ Battle Royale Beta – Dexerto
All the Details We Have So Far About the Call of Duty ‘Blackout’ Battle Royale Beta Call of Duty – ActivisionCall of Duty: Black Ops 4 will include the series’ first Battle Royale mode, appropriately named ‘Blackout.’ A list of all the details concerning Blackout’s upcoming beta release have been compiled, including release dates, platforms, and more. Blackout will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. However, the mode won’t be available on its own for everyone: console players must pre-order Black Ops 4 in order to get their hands on the title, while PC players will have the chance to test their skills in the Open PC Beta. The battle royale mode will release on Monday, September 10th for PS4 players, and on Friday, September 14th for Xbox One users. The PC Early Access beta will go live on September 14th for PC players, with the Open beta taking place on Saturday, September 15th. Players will be able to utilize a variety of vehicles in Blackout, allowing players to travel by land, air and sea. However, unlike this selection, Blackout will be strictly first-person only, without an option for third-person view. Players take note: those of you with motion sickness may have to adjust the FOV and framerate before proceeding. Blackout likewise acts as a celebration of past titles in the Call of Duty franchise. Said to have the largest map in the series’ history, Blackout will feature classic parts of CoD’s fan-favorite maps, including Nuketown, Firing Range, Cargo, and more. Characters and weapons from previous games will make an appearance in Blackout, as well. Blackout will feature three modes of play, with Solo, Duo, and Quad modes available. For those who have already downloaded the Black Ops 4 beta and are interested in playing the Battle Royale title, be sure not to delete it – platforms will switch it to the Blackout Beta in September. Keep an eye out for more details as the Blackout approaches this fall.

All Secrets of the Pacific Warzone event locations – Dexerto
All Secrets of the Pacific Warzone event locations ActivisionThe Secrets of the Pacific Warzone event is underway, with challenges to complete and rewards to earn before Verdansk leaves the battle royale game forever. Here’s where you can locate the pieces of Intel needed to complete the event challenges. The Secrets of the Pacific event in Warzone aims to help prepare players for the new Caldera map, due to arrive on December 8 after a delay, by uncovering small snippets of information. Though the launch of the event hasn’t been perfect — it was actually temporarily disabled on account of it causing game crashes on a wide scale — it’s still going to offer a fun way for players to do something a bit different in Verdansk before saying goodbye to it. Here’s how you can complete the Secrets of the Pacific challenges and what you’ll earn. How to complete Secrets of the Pacific Warzone challenges The Secrets of the Pacific event requires players to gather six different pieces of Intel from across Verdansk, then hold on to them for a certain amount of time. These are unique to each piece of Intel collected and explained in more detail below. It’s worth noting, however, that you can only hold one piece of Intel at a time, so you shouldn’t expect to complete more than one of these per game. Secrets of the Pacific Intel locations Intel can be found at the following locations in Verdansk, and you can use this map from CharlieINTEL to decide the best one to take on, depending on where your circle is on the map. All screenshots are courtesy of kaplangiran on Reddit. 1. Jailbreak Intel location: Prison You’ll find the first piece of Intel by heading to the showers on the ground floor of Prison. Once you’re there, look for a table tennis paddle on a bench by a set of lockers. Interact with the paddle and you’ll earn the Marina Street Calling Card for surviving with this piece of Intel. 2. On The Air Intel location: Promenade West The second piece of Intel can be found at the Electronics Shop between Promenade West and Train Station. Head inside the store and look for a microphone leaning against the northwest wall. Once you’ve collected the Intel and held onto it for the required time, you’ll earn the Local Radio Emblem. 3. Fast Food Intel location: Airport To find the third piece of Intel, you’ll want to land at Airport and immediately make a beeline for the Burger Town restaurant. In the raised seating area on the west side of the building, there should be a cash machine to the left of the counter. Collect and hold on to the Intel to unlock the Volcanic Souvenir Charm. 4. On Your Feet Intel location: Hospital To earn this piece of Intel, you’ll want to head to the building next to the main Hospital highrise, where the Helipad is. Enter through the ground floor and find the operating room with a blue first aid kit atop an operating bed. Hold on to this Intel to earn the Naval Plan sticker. 5. Abandoned Intel location: Mines (North-West) You’ll need to head into the mines on the northwestern side of the map to unlock the fifth piece of Intel. Head to the westernmost building of the tin area pictured above and use the zipline to head down into the mines. Interact with the dynamite button to earn the Familiar Machinery Spray. 6. Secrets Intel location: Bunkers The sixth and final piece of Intel can reportedly be found in any of the World War II bunkers that arrived in Warzone at the start of Season 6. Use the zipline at the red shipping containers at either Boneyard, Airport, or Array, then search for model battleships on a desk. Gather that Intel to earn the Hospital Resort Calling Card and complete the set. Once you’ve collected all of these pieces of Intel, you’ll have completed the challenge, earned a lot of XP, and, more importantly, unlocked the Secrets of the Pacific reward blueprint. Secrets of the Pacific rewards As well as unlocking snippets of info regarding the new Caldera map arriving with the Vanguard integration, payers will be rewarded with the Bomber Menace STG44 Blueprint, ready to take on your opponents from Day One of Warzone Pacific. Be sure to drop into Verdansk and collect your rewards before the event ends on December 8.

All scorestreaks in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War – Dexerto
All scorestreaks in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War TreyarchAn online game of Call of Duty can be turned around in a few seconds thanks to deadly scorestreaks. The newest game has some great tools that can help your team or boost your own stats big-time. So we’re going to tell you about all the scorestreaks in Black Ops Cold War. [jwplayer Q7ySHZq9] Scorestreaks and killstreaks have been in Call of Duty multiplayer since 2007’s CoD 4. From UAVs to airstrikes, to game-ending nukes. They promote an element of skill as players try to earn points and kills to unlock a big advantage in battle. In recent years, killstreaks have been dropped in favor of the more team-based scorestreaks. Scorestreaks encourage play based on the objective of the game mode. This year’s game is no different as there are 21 of them to help you, and your teammates, vanquish the enemy. Here is everything we know about them. Scorestreaks/killstreaks no longer reset The biggest change this year, regarding scorestreaks, is that you no longer lose progress if you die. In previous of CoD’s, if the player has earned progress toward a scorestreak but died, they would lose all their progress (hence you must stay on a ‘streak’). This means you can play a bit more freely without having to cradle your streak progression. However, the longer a you can stay alive and earn consecutive kills, the bigger the multiplier. The bigger the multiplier, the bigger your score and likelihood of acquiring the game’s highest scorestreaks. It’s a positive system that Treyarch has implemented which encourages attacking play instead of being conservative and trying to defend what you already own. Black Ops Cold War Scorestreaks This is everything we know so far about Scorestreaks in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. RC-XD Description: Remote controlled car strapped with explosives. Score Required: 800 Cooldown: 90 seconds Spy Plane Description: Reveal enemy positions through the Fog of War. Score Required: 1,000 Cooldown: 90 seconds Counter Spy Plane Description: Scramble enemy mini-maps and disable hostile Missile Turrets for a short time. Score Required: 1,200 Cooldown: 60 seconds Sentry Turret Description: Deploy a deadly automated turret that targets enemy planes, vehicles, and equipment. Score Required: 2, 000 Cooldown: 60 seconds Napalm Strike Description: Launch a targeted carpet bomb strike of explosive napalm. Score Required: 2, 100 Cooldown: 90 seconds Artillery Description: Launch a targeted airstrike on three locations. Score Required: 2, 300 Cooldown: 90 seconds Air Patrol Description: Call in a squadron of jets to attack enemy air streaks. Score Required: 3, 600 Cooldown: 90 seconds War Machine Description: High explosive grenade launcher. Score Required: 4, 000 Cooldown: 90 seconds Attack Helicopter Description: Call in an armed support helicopter. Score Required: 5, 000 Cooldown: 90 seconds Chopper Gunner Description: Be the gunner in a close air support helicopter. Score Required: 8, 000 Cooldown: 90 seconds The remaining scorestreaks will be available in the full release of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, but we just don’t have the full details just yet. Incendiary Bow Description: Unknown Score Required: Unknown Cooldown: Unknown Armor Description: Unknown Score Required: Unknown Cooldown: Unknown Flamethrower Description: Unknown Score Required: Unknown Cooldown: Unknown Care Package Description: Unknown Score Required: Unknown Cooldown: Unknown Death Machine Description: Unknown Score Required: Unknown Cooldown: Unknown Cruise Missile Description: Unknown Score Required: Unknown Cooldown: Unknown Hand Cannon Description: Unknown Score Required: Unknown Cooldown: Unknown Strafe Run Description: Unknown Score Required: Unknown Cooldown: Unknown H.A.R.P.

All Rebirth Island map changes in Warzone Season 2 Reloaded: New POIs & features – Dexerto
All Rebirth Island map changes in Warzone Season 2 Reloaded: New POIs & features ActivisionRebirth Island received a major overhaul in the Warzone Pacific Season 2 Reloaded patch with new POIs and features aplenty. Here’s a full breakdown of what’s new in the fan-favorite battle royale map. For the first time since its introduction in 2020, Rebirth Island is in the spotlight with new map changes and features arriving as part of the Warzone Pacific Season 2 Reloaded update. The map itself has been tweaked in a number of ways to keep the experience fresh. While some old areas have been removed and new layouts have been added, rest assured it’s still the same Rebirth as before, just with a few key upgrades. From the addition of the Stronghold POI to the brand new Communication Towers, here’s a full rundown on all there is to know about the latest Rebirth Island map changes. Stronghold POI replaces Security Area If you’re an experienced Rebirth player, you’ll know that the Security Area POI is among the least popular in the game. Given its awkward position off to the side of the map, it’s rarely a good drop spot since you’re limited in options when it comes time to rotate. Addressing this problem head-on, the newly upgraded version of Rebirth has overhauled this spot entirely. Now known as ‘Stronghold,’ this POI has been described by the developers as one of the “strongest places on the map.” Now a viable landing spot, you should be able to find plenty of valuable early-game loot. Moreover, with new ways to navigate around the map, more on that below, rotating from this side of the island is easier than ever. New Dock and Prison Courtyard POI Dock is one of the new POIs on Rebirth Reinforced. Players can find this located near Construction Site as it extends out into the water. Part of this includes a ship that is fully accessible. There is also another boat located next to the Nova 6 Facotry. Players can explore both of these ships for loot and any enemies that may be on the loose. On top of this, Prison Courtyard got reworked with stronger materials being added around, making it hard to shoot enemies that are on the run. Redeploy Balloons & Communication Towers With Warzone Pacific’s Season 2 update came the Redeploy Balloons in Caldera. While these Apex Legends-style balloons raised eyebrows at first, they quickly became some of the most popular additions in recent updates. In just a few quick seconds, players can zipline up the skies, redeploy, and glide back down to a new chunk of the map. It allows for some of the fastest rotations in Warzone today and now, the feature is making its mark on Rebirth as well. Alongside a few Redeploy Balloons scattered throughout, the new version of Rebirth also comes with something completely new: Communications Towers. Using these Towers provides a similar effect to a UAV. For $1,500, players can activate them to send out a single UAV-style ping on the map. While it’s extremely brief, just one ping could be all that’s needed to help your team in a crucial moment. As the first major update to Rebirth in 15 months, expect these new additions to be fairly hot following the Season 2 Reloaded patch. Be sure to brush up on every other significant change in the update with our full breakdown here.

All Rebirth Island Biometrics Scanner locations & rewards – Dexerto
All Rebirth Island Biometrics Scanner locations & rewards ActivisionSeason 3 sees Rebirth Island return to Warzone with a new feature, the Biometric Scanner. Rebirth Island returned to Warzone with Season 3, albeit with a few changes. Scattered around the map are hidden interactable objects known as Biometrics Scanners. Interacting with these items will dole out some decent rewards, provided you live long enough to trade them in. Without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about the Biometric Scanners on Rebirth Island. How do you use the Biometric Scanner? Biometric Scanners are interactable terminals scattered around Rebirth Island. Step up the wall-mounted unit and interact with it. It will produce a tiered rarity keycard that you must bring to a Buy Station for a special reward. All Biometric Scanner locations There are 10 Biometric Scanner locations scattered across Rebirth Island. Below, you’ll find them all courtesy of Warzone Tac Map: All Biometric Scanner rewards The rewards earned depend on the Keycard rarity, of which there are six different tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Polyatomic, and Orion. A key note to keep in mind is interacting with a Biometric Scanner while a teammate is nearby seems to provide a better shot at a higher-tiered Keycard. Another thing to note is the 8-attachment weapons seem to be from a predetermined loot pool. Players have reported getting the HRM-9, KATT-AMR, or even the RAM-7. Additional and Permanent Biometric Scanner rewards As teased in the Season 3 blog post, interacting with Biometric Scanners on nonconsecutive days will provide permanent in-game rewards. Here’s what’s been discovered so far:

All Prestige levels & rewards in Modern Warfare 3 & Warzone Season 1 – Dexerto
All Prestige levels & rewards in Modern Warfare 3 & Warzone Season 1 ActivisionMW3 and Warzone’s first season comes with the arrival of Prestige Ranks for players to grind through. This is our breakdown of all Prestige levels and rewards in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 1. Season 1 has turned out to deliver a huge overhaul to both Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Not only has it seen the bulk of MW3’s content introduced into Warzone, but also plenty added to multiplayer and Zombies too. Some features are universal across all three core game modes such as Prestige Ranks. The classic leveling system returns once again in the latest Call of Duty with new emblems, levels, and rewards all up for grabs. Prestige levels in MW3 & Warzone Season 1 Season 1 introduces five Prestige Ranks for players to grind through, officially letting everyone proceed past Level 55 at last. These five Prestige Ranks are made up of 250 Ranks. This is how the Prestige Ranks are divided up as of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 1: Prestige 0: Rank 1 – 55 – Prestige 1: Rank 56 – 99 – Prestige 2: Rank 100 – 149 – Prestige 3: Rank 150 – 199 – Prestige 4: Rank 200 – 249 – Prestige 5: Rank 250 – Rank 250 is the level cap as of Season 1 and players won’t be able to go past this level until Season 2. Once Season 1 ends you will keep whatever Operator Rank you reached during Season 1, but now be able to continue beyond Rank 250. Furthermore, MW3 uses seasonal prestige meaning you’ll automatically enter the next prestige after reaching the appropriate rank rather than having to manually reset as per the older CoD games. Prestige rewards in MW3 & Warzone Season 1 Reaching each Prestige Rank rewards you with unique cosmetics and challenges. Reaching the required Prestige Rank is the only way to unlock these items as they are not available through the store or any other means.

All POIs in Warzone’s updated Rebirth Island map – Dexerto
All POIs in Warzone’s updated Rebirth Island map ActivisionThe rerelease of the fan-favorite Rebirth Island map in Warzone is bringing with it a good handful of new POIs for players to head to for loot, battles, and more. The upcoming update to Rebirth Island in Warzone is bringing some big changes to the original map, as well as some familiar places that players can seek out to fight, get some good loot, and more. Knowing the layout to the map can be a major different between victory and defeat in Warzone, and luckily, the new map has been revealed. While a good chunk of the map looks to be the same as what was seen in the original version, there are still some differences that the devs are implementing to make the experience fresh. According to the official release of the new Warzone map, there are a total of 11 POIs that players can battle in and loot: Bioweapons – Chemical Engineering – Industry – Dock – Prison – Harbor – Control Center – Headquarters – Factory – Living Quarters – Stronghold – What is not seen in the map, however, is a new network of underwater tunnels that players can use to get around the map beneath the surface. This is most likely added thanks to the new swimming mechanics in Warzone that were not around when the map originally released. From this list, it can be seen that Construction Site, Decon Zone, Security Area, and Shore are not in this revised version of the map. These are replaced by newcomers Industry, Dock, Control Center, and Stronghold. The new Warzone trailer also hints at possible destructible environments, which means some of these POIs can be destroyed mid-game. Players will be able to explore all of these POIs, both old and new, when Warzone brings back Rebirth Island on April 3rd.

All POIs in new MW3 Warzone map Urzikstan – Dexerto
All POIs in new MW3 Warzone map Urzikstan ActivisionIn December, Season 1 of Modern Warfare 3 will start and with it, a whole new Warzone battle royale experience will be born. Urzikstan will replace Al Mazrah as the primary map in the game, as some huge changes are set to take place. With a nostalgia-heavy feel, here are all 11 Points of Interest in Urzikstan. Urzikstan is going to be one of three maps in Warzone after the new integration, joined by current small Resurgence maps Ashika Island and Vondel. It will be the fourth large-scale map in Warzone history, following Verdansk, Caldera, and Al Mazrah, each of which have represented huge changes and new eras in Call of Duty BR. Fans are already excited about Modern Warfare 3, which is set to feature all 16 classic MW2 (2009) maps remastered for the current day, especially with the huge movement changes that look set to bring gameplay back to the beloved style commonly seen in Verdansk and Caldera. But what are the locations that will feature in Urzikstan? Warzone Urzikstan POIs Here is the full list of POIs in Urzikstan, as revealed at COD Next on October 5. Levin Resort – Popov Power – Orlov Military Base – Seaport District – Urzikstan Cargo – Old Town – Low Town – Hadiqa Farms – Zaravan City – Zaravan Suburbs – Shahin Manor – There will be some recognizable locations on here for longtime Call of Duty players, as Countdown from COD 4, and Overwatch from Modern Warfare 3 will become playable POIs in Urzikstan. Many players had already compared some of the pre-released screenshots of the map to having “Verdansk vibes” and both players and devs alike will be hoping for the same kind of magic and gameplay to be captured as when the game first launched back in 2020.

All PlayStation-exclusive bonuses for MW2: Extra loadouts, XP, free skins and more – Dexerto
All PlayStation-exclusive bonuses for MW2: Extra loadouts, XP, free skins and more ActivisionModern Warfare 2 brings another Call of Duty that offers PlayStation players exclusive in-game content. Here, we’re running through everything PS players have to look forward to following MWII’s launch. As has become typical in the Call of Duty series, PlayStation players are set to receive exclusive content across Modern Warfare 2’s life-cycle as a result of Sony’s partnership with Activision. It looks increasingly likely that this exclusivity will change in the future, with Microsoft (the company behind Xbox) set to acquire Activision Blizzard in an enormous and potentially controversial takeover. Now that Modern Warfare 2 is live globally, players are settling into a new CoD and looking ahead to what they can expect. For PlayStation players, that means another year or two of exclusive and early content. All Modern Warfare 2 PlayStation exclusive content We have now received confirmation from Activision and Sony as to what PlayStation players can expect. Battle Pass Bundle Bonus: Unlocked new gear and goodies even faster. PlayStation players that purchase a new Battle Pass Bundle will get an additional 5 tier skips. That’s a total of 25 tier skips. – Double XP Points: PlayStation players can look forward to exclusive Monthly Double XP events (24 hr duration), so prepare to boost your rank. – Combat Packs: Get a free in-game bundle each Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II season. Includes such items as an Operator Skin, Weapon Blueprint, Emblems and much more. Limited time only for PlayStation Plus members. – PlayStation Party Bonus: Teamwork makes the dream work. PlayStation players that play together in parties +25% bonus weapon XP. The bonus still counts when playing with cross-platform teammates. – Extra Loadouts: Be prepared for any scenario. PlayStation players get an additional 2 loadout slots, ready for customization. Available when Create-A-Class unlocks upon reaching Level 4. – Currently, that’s all the exclusive content PS players are set to receive. Those who pre-ordered also get access to the Hiro ‘Oni’ Watanabe Operator Skin and Weapon Blueprint. PS exclusives are also only set to last for a year, with Activision stating they are set to end on October 27, 2023. Presumably, from that point onwards, Sony’s deal with Activision is no longer valid and, as previously stated, the future of the franchise and its relationships to consoles could change for good.

All Perks in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies: Juggernog, PHD Flopper, more – Dexerto
All Perks in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies: Juggernog, PHD Flopper, more ActivisionWith Zombies returning in Modern Warfare 3, albeit in a more expansive mode rather than the round-based structure, many of the series’ classic Perks are returning alongside it. Here’s a look at every confirmed Perk thus far. While historically, Zombies has largely been exclusive to Treyarch-led CoD titles, that isn’t the case here with 2023’s release. Assisting Infinity Ward and the dozen other teams working on CoD each year, Treyarch’s iconic undead experience is back in Modern Warfare 3, with more of an open-ended twist. Rather than fending off rounds of enemies, players now have all sorts of objectives to complete in a vast open map. Though that doesn’t mean some staples aren’t returning for the revamped mode. Perk machines are back once again in MW3 and here’s a look at all of the confirmed Perks we know about thus far. All confirmed Perks in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies Modern Warfare 3 Zombies does not use the vest, gloves, boots, and gear perk system from Multiplayer. Instead, players find or craft Perk-a-Colas and receive a permanent boost until they fully die. Here is every perk on Modern Warfare 3 Zombies. Deadshot Daiquiri: ADS (aiming down sight) moves to enemy critical location. Removes scope sway. – Death Perception: Obscured enemies, chests, resources, and item drops are more easily spotted. – Elemental Pop: Every bullet you fire has a small chance to apply a random Ammo Mod effect. – Jugger-Nog: Increases maximum health. – PHD Flopper: Diving to prone triggers an explosion. The explosion increases the higher you fall. Immunity from fall damage while diving. Immunity from area-of-effect damage from weapons you are using. – Quick Revive: Reduce the health regeneration delay time by 50%. Reduce the time it takes to revive an ally by 50%. – Speed Cola: Drink to reload and replate armor faster. – Stamin-Up: Increases run and sprint speed. – Tombstone Soda: On death, you create a tombstone stash at that location, containing your backpack inventory in the next game. –

All Perks in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Multiplayer From the Community Reveal Event – Dexerto
All Perks in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Multiplayer From the Community Reveal Event We can now reveal all the perks in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 – at least those available at the community reveal on May 17th. The Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 community reveal may be over, but developers Treyarch invited a number of well known personalities in the community to stream some multplayer gameplay live. Treyarch of course revealed before the reveal that perks would be returning for their fourth Black Ops instalment, putting at ease any fans who were discontent with CoD: WWII’s ‘Division’ system. So, in typical Treyarch fashion, we have some classic perks returning such as ‘Scavenger’ and the infamous ‘Ghost’, as well as some new ones too. Thanks to TheExclusiveAce’s livestream from the Treyarch Studios, we have been given an exclusive look at the perks (currently) in the game. Note that there is a good chance there will be more perks (typically six per tier) in the full game. Perk Tier 1 Engineer Show enemy equipment and scorestreaks. Lock on to vehicles faster. Flak Jacket Take less damage from enemy explosives, fire and radiation. Resistance Resistant to 9 Bang, Concussion, Razor Wire and Counter UAV. Cold Blooded Resistant to scorestreak targeting systems. Perk Tier 2 Scavenger Replenish ammo from fallen players. Dexterity Mantle, climb, slide and swap weapons faster. Increased weapon accuracy when jumping or mantling. Gung-Ho Fire your weapon and use equipment while sprinting. Recover from sprint faster. Move at full speed when reloading. Lightweight Move faster and take no damage when falling. Perk Tier 3 Reveal Increased Fog of War reveal radius for self and teammates. Dead Silence Move quietly and resist detection from acoustic sensor. Team Link See friendly teammates through walls. Ghost Undetectable by enemy UAV’s while moving, planting or defusing bombs or controlling scorestreaks. Reduced reveal time on enemy sensor darts and vision pulse. Wildcards are also returning for Black Ops 4, and include the standard perk greeds (allowing you to take two perks from one tier), and overkill (take two primary weapons) and a new ‘underkill’ (take two secondary weapons. Fans will have to wait until the private beta to try their hand at the new perks.

All perk changes in Warzone Season 2 update – Dexerto
All perk changes in Warzone Season 2 update ActivisionWarzone’s Season 2 changes were massive, and they included a few notable changes to Perks in-game. Here’s everything you need to know about the updates. MW3’s Season 2 is upon us, and as usual, the patch notes have dropped. These have revealed massive changes across the board, alongside the huge infusion of content across all Warzone and multiplayer. A few notable changes include huge improvements to in-game health regeneration, weapon nerfs and buffs, and even improvements to ADS. Tucked away in Warzone’s patch notes, the devs hid a few updates to Perks coming with Season 2, with some neat changes on the way. Perk changes in Warzone’s Season 2 update Per the developer patch notes, five Perks have seen some tweaking with Warzone Season 2. Here’s the breakdown of what’s changed, including dev notes as well. Flex Perk Revised audio levels while equipped. – – Irradiated Will now reduce gas damage by 20%, up from 10%. – Allows players to replace armor plates while in the gas. – – With this change there will be an adjacent benefit while using Irradiated. Being able to plate in the gas will open rotation opportunities. To accompany the fact that plates will still degrade in the gas, the damage reduction has increased slightly. This also helps to align the damage amount to be a smoother calculation for other systems. Battle Hardened Will now show the “resist” icon for the killstreak owner when a player resists the Guardian. – – Quick Fix Quick Fix will now correctly begin regenerating health when the player inserts an armor plate. – – Shrouded The deployed smoke grenade has a slight randomized offset so that it is not deployed directly on top of the player. – – This minor change makes it slightly less predictable where the downed player is within the smoke. We’ll see how the Perk changes play out, but Irradiated’s changes might be pretty massive, possibly encouraging players to play in the gas more than before.

All confirmed Operators in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 – Dexerto
All confirmed Operators in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 DexertoCall of Duty Black Ops 6 will follow the same structure as previous CoD titles, letting players choose their Operators to enter the battlefield with. Here is the full list of Operators present. CoD’s customization has grown over the years, letting players pick their soldier to enter Warzone, multiplayer, or Zombies modes with. Black Ops 6 is no different, as players will have a diverse cast of misfits to choose from, with that roster surely growing as new seasons arrive. Here are all the confirmed Operators in CoD Black Ops 6 so far. Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Operators There will be 12 total Operators available when Black Ops 6 launches, with both new and familiar faces between the two factions. However, not all Operators featured in the Campaign will be available to play in Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. Rogue Black Ops Operators Marshall – Yara – Bayan – Westpoint – Nazir – Ratcliff – Crimson One Operators Alejo – Caine – Stone – Niran – Baily – Volta – Frank Woods, who will be featured in the Black Ops 6 Campaign, is not listed as one of the starter Operators, but those who purchase the Vault Edition of the game will get three new versions of Woods to use in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. It isn’t unknown whether these skins will also transfer to the new title. In-store bundles and seasonal battle passes will offer various versions of these Operators, potentially expanding each roster with new names in the future. For now, only these 12 Operators have been announced for the official launch of Black Ops 6. With the release of Black Ops 6 just a few months away, there is a lot of new content to discover. Be sure to check out what’s coming in the new Campaign, what maps will be featured, and what can be expected from this year’s edition of Zombies.

All chilling Operator skins in Warzone & Modern Warfare 3’s The Haunting event – Dexerto
All chilling Operator skins in Warzone & Modern Warfare 3’s The Haunting event ActivisionA raft of terrifying new Operator skins are on the way to both Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 as CoD gears up for the 2024 iteration of The Haunting event takeover. It’s almost spooky season in CoD. Each and every year, the FPS franchise celebrates with a festive takeover. Game modes deliver frights with jump scares aplenty and there’s always chilling crossovers to send chills down your spine. We’ve seen everyone from Leatherface to Skeletor join the mix in previous years and this year’s update is no different with new frights around the corner. From the ever-violent Art the Clown to Daryl Dixon of Walking Dead fame, there’s plenty on the horizon. Here’s the full breakdown of every new Operator skin on the way as part of the 2024 Haunting event. Art the Clown – Terrifier Topping the list is Art the Clown from the more recent Terrifier series. Terrifier first made a bloody splash in 2016 as the low-budget flick freaked out audiences thanks to its over-the-top kills and outrageous gore. It’s since gone on to become a beloved horror franchise in its own right, the 2022 sequel raking in over $15 million at the box office. With the next sequel, Terrifier 3, fast approaching its October 11 release, hype is mounting once again. CoD fans will be able to terrify their opponents by dropping into lobbies as charmingly disgusting Art the Clown. This Operator skin will soon be available as part of its own bundle. Here’s what’s included: Tracer Pack: Terrifier – Operator Bundle: Art the Clown Operator skin – Two weapon Blueprints – Weapon charm – Weapon sticker – Large decal – Emblem – Loading screen – BlackCell “Alone” Operator Next up comes Season 6’s unique BlackCell Operator. This “Alone” skin is one-of-a-kind, dissimilar from anything we’ve seen in CoD thus far. With three heads morphing out of one body, this grotesque cosmetic is sure to turn heads in any lobby. BlackCell bundles are often among the priciest of any season, and this one is expected to be no different. Often found in the CoD store for $30 USD, they include more than just the one Operator skin. Below is a quick breakdown of what to expect in the Season 6 bundle: BlackCell “Alone” Operator bundle: Alone Operator skin – Weapon Blueprints – ‘Throat Rip’ finishing move – Battle Pass tier skips – CoD Points – Daryl Dixon – The Walking Dead Another legend from The Walking Dead is joining Rick and Michonne in Call of Duty. Daryl Dixon is next up, with Norman Reedus jumping from Death Stranding over into another popular game. Given Daryl now stars in his own spinoff show, this Operator skin focuses on the older version of the beloved character, rather than his appearance in earlier seasons of the mainline series. We know for certain an event is set to accompany Daryl’s arrival in-game, known as the “Road to Terminus”, though there’s no telling what it may entail just yet. Beyond that, here’s a look at everything arriving as part of Daryl’s own bundle in the game. Tracer Pack: Daryl Dixon – Operator Bundle: Daryl Dixon Operator skin – ‘Daryl’s Crossbow’ weapon Blueprint – 2 other weapon Blueprints – Finishing move – Weapon sticker – Loading screen – Michael Myers – Halloween Michael Myers is making a return to CoD as part of Season 6. Set to be featured in the upcoming Battle Pass, the iconic slasher is set to haunt enemies across both Warzone and Modern Warfare 3. Having initially featured as part of 2013’s CoD Ghosts, we haven’t seen him since. 11 years after first frightening CoD players with the classic theme in tow, he’s set to return through the Season 6 Battle Pass. Smile 2 If you haven’t been spooked by the chilling simplicity of Smile in recent years, you must have been living under a rock. The 2022 film went viral with its unique marketing campaign, dropping smiling strangers into backgrounds with chilling effect. The first movie was a smash hit, making over $200 million at the box office so obviously, a sequel is on the way. Set to release on October 18, it arrives in sync with this promotional bundle in CoD. The Valeria and Makarov characters have both been taken over by the smiley demon, getting their own ominous skins as part of the crossover. Here’s what the full bundle contains: Tracer Pack: Smile 2 – Operator Bundle: Possessed Valeria Operator skin – Possessed Makarov Operator skin – Two weapon Blueprints – Large Decal sticker – Loading screen – Trick ‘r Treat It’s been a while since Trick ‘r Treat first frightened audiences, but Activision clearly hasn’t forgotten. The 2007 horror film was one of the biggest flops in the genre, making just low five-figures at the box office on a $12 million budget. Despite the shocking reception, it’s become somewhat of a cult classic ever since. Now, it’s being thrust back into the spotlight with a range of unique cosmetics in Season 6. There’s an Operator bundle just for Sam, the face of the film, while a separate pack brings some simple masks to a number of other skins too. Zombified Bubby Last but not least comes the mascot of CoD’s Burger Town fast-food chain, only this time, he’s out for blood. Bubby has been morphed into a creepy killer, teeth sharp enough to bite through the competition. That’s it for every cosmetic we know about with 2024’s The Haunting event in CoD. As we get closer to the takeover, we’re sure to learn plenty more about prices and specific release dates. Rest assured, we’ll update you here as further details emerge.

All new Zombies Schematics in MW3 Season 5 – Dexerto
All new Zombies Schematics in MW3 Season 5 Call of DutyAs part of MW3’s Season 5 update, Zombies is getting some brand new content, including Schematics for assistance when facing off against tough bosses. Developers revealed the new schematics in a recent blog post, each offering unique bonuses that can be useful in various situations and predicaments. Furthermore, these new Schematics will be released during the mid-season update for MW3 Season 5. Without further ado, here is everything you need to know about the new Zombie Schematics, including what they are, how to get them, and when you’ll be able to do so. All new Zombie Schematics in MW3 Season 5 As detailed below, three new Zombie Schematics will be added to Modern Warfare 3 as part of the Season 5 update. Stash Increase The Stash Increase Schematic allows players to increase the size of their Stash from 20 to 30, in turn making extra room for additional loot and items. This schematic is particularly useful for long playthroughs, such as finding and collecting multiple items without swapping them or managing your stash capacity closely. Disciple Bottle This Schematic is very much like giving players a Genie in a bottle. When used, the Disciple Bottle will spawn a Disciple to help take down the waves of Zombies. Disciples are particularly helpful when attempting to complete challenges in a Dark Aether Rift, as they are a strong Special Zombie type in MW3. Grenade Bandolier Last but not least, the Grenade Bandolier is the third Zombie Schematic making its way to MW3 for Season 5. It works similarly to the Restock Perk in multiplayer and Warzone in that the Grenade Bandolier will consistently replenish your Lethal and Tactical equipment. Rather than having to save your Lethals and Tacticals for extremely dire moments, the Grenade Bandolier allows players to rely on them more and use them in advantageous and aggressive ways rather than simply on the defensive. How to get the new Zombie Schematics in MW3 Season 5 It is expected that players will need to complete challenges and events to increase the chances of getting the new Schematics in Reward Rifts or lootable caches; however, the exact details have yet to be revealed by the dev team. As such, be sure to check back in with this article as we keep it updated with all the latest information.

All new Warzone 2 features explained: Interrogation system, Gulag 2.0, new loadouts & more – Dexerto
All new Warzone 2 features explained: Interrogation system, Gulag 2.0, new loadouts & more ActivisionWarzone 2 is finally here and brings a ton of new features for the players to get excited about. So, here’s a rundown of all the new features in Warzone 2. CoD players are about to witness a new era of the franchise with the arrival of Warzone 2. While the sequel revolves around the same concept as that of the original Warzone, it does come with a slew of new features. In fact, Infinity Ward has introduced these features to enhance the Battle Royale experience even further. Some of them include the new Interrogation system, Gulag 2.0, a new loadout system, and a lot more. With that said, here’s a complete rundown of all the new features that Warzone 2 has brought to the table. Contents Gulag 2.0 – New Interrogation feature – Enhanced loadouts – New backpack system – Split gas circles – Strongholds and Black Sites – New modes of transport – Third-person playlists – Gulag 2.0 In Warzone 2, the Gulag has evolved into a 2v2 mode where players start with fists instead of weapons. You’ll be paired with a random player with whom you got to coordinate and take down the opposite duo. The biggest change this mode features is the presence of an AI enemy in the prison. Now the two duos have two options – either team up together and take down “the Jailer” (this brings all four players back to the game) or choose the elimination route. Thankfully, our guide has every tip you need on how to win your Gulag 2v2. New Interrogation feature The second new feature that Al Mazrah brings is the interrogation of enemy players. Here, you may approach a downed player and force them to reveal the location of the rest of their teammates. Executing this feature requires planning and our guide has everything you need to interrogate enemies in Warzone 2. Enhanced loadouts The way loadouts work in Warzone 2 is quite different from that of the original BR game. You can no longer buy them from Buy Stations. However, you do have the option to obtain them from random Loadout Drops or clearing out Strongholds. If you want to get a detailed overview of the loadout changes, our guide has everything you need. New backpack system Another feature that has made its debut in Warzone 2 is the new backpack system. This new backpack system will contain all the looted items of the player except for the primary weapons. Items like meds, ammo, cash, and gadgets will all be present inside the backpack. Split gas circles Poisonous gas circles are still a thing in Warzone 2 but are now split into smaller ones, unlike the original BR game. This means players will have a choice to select a bunch of safer locations and plan their endgame accordingly in Al Mazrah. If you’re wondering how Warzone 2 circles work, our guide has got everything explained. Strongholds and Black Sites Strongholds are new AI enemy combat zones in Warzone 2. The specialty of these areas is that players will get a chance to get their hands on custom loadouts. All they need to do is defeat AI enemies and disarm bombs in these areas for a Black Site key to drop. Once these keys are acquired, they can head straight to the designated locations to claim rewards like custom loadouts and free Weapon Blueprints. New modes of transport Warzone 2 features some new modes of transport in Al Mazrah in the form of new vehicles, boats, and even swimming! The swimming mechanic is similar to that of Modern Warfare 2 and provides new ways of escaping fights or catching enemies off-guard. You’d also be able to use certain weapons underwater! Third-person playlists And last but not the least, Warzone 2 has finally featured third-person playlists. The implementation of this feature provides new ways and perspectives of playing and approaching the battle royale game (similar to the likes of PUBG and Fortnite). These playlists were introduced as a part of the Battle Royale weekly rotation in Season 1. So, there you have it — those are all the new features that arrived with Warzone 2.

All new Warzone 2 equipment & streaks in Season 2 – Dexerto
All new Warzone 2 equipment & streaks in Season 2 ActivisionWarzone 2 took a page from the original battle royale experience, introducing a Counter UAV and Redeploy Packs in Season 2. Warzone 2’s second season started on February 15. The seasonal update adds a new Resurgence map, brings back the 1v1 Gulag, and changes looting and buy stations. It’s easy to miss an important detail while scouring Activision’s lengthy update blog post. Community members noticed Resurgence was listed as an LTM, and Raven Software quickly amended the patch notes to fix the mistake. The patch notes also stated, “players can now sprint while plating.” However, CoD insider CharlieINTEL clarified players couldn’t use plates while fully sprinting. In another move that flew under the radar, Season 2 introduces a Counter UAV Killstreak and Redeploy Pack Equipment item. Counter UAV and Redeploy Pack added to Warzone 2 Redeploy Packs are not new to Warzone. The original battle royale featured Redeploy Extraction Tokens, which allowed players to skip the Gulag and redeploy after a short countdown. Redeploy Packs work the same and can be found as ground loot in “some” buy stations, and are guaranteed from completing Strongholds and Black Sites Missions. In the official blog post, Activision described the Counter UAV as “a defensive killstreak that deploys and autonomous UAV to target an area and jam the enemy’s radar, minimap, as well as their HUD.” Community members have a shaky relationship with the controversial killstreak. Warzone 1 had a Radar Jammer that acted as a Counter UAV, and some players labeled it as “one of the worst additions to the game.” Players reacted negatively to the announcement, as Warzone 2 content creator HunterTV responded, “Counter UAV was the most hated streak on Warzone.” A second user added, “UAVs are limited, so why would there be a counter for that.” Currently, buy stations only sell a limited amount of UAVs, so some players questioned if the killstreak is needed. The Birdseye perk pinpointed enemies on the minimap, but the perk was removed from Season 2 anyways. It will be interesting to monitor how much of an impact Counter UAVs have on Warzone 2’s meta in Season 2.

All Mystery Box locations on Firebase Z in Black Ops Cold War Zombies ActivisionOne of the most important points of interest in Black Ops Zombies is the the moving Mystery Box. Here are all the Mystery Box locations, at least that we know about as of the time of this writing, in the brand new map Firebase Z. In Zombies, there’s no better feeling than getting a really powerful weapon from the mystery box. Gambling that 950 points and getting a high level weapon means that you don’t have to worry about searching for one for the rest of the game. That is, if you can find the box. The mystery box always moves around the map and it even starts in a different place every time, making it a bit annoying to find, and that’s no different on Firebase Z, the brand new Zombies map to hit Black Ops Cold War. That being said, here’s a helpful list of everywhere you’ll be able to find the box on the new map. Mystery Box locations Making your way to the first mystery box is a bit of a challenge. Firebase Z is split up into two areas: the main starting area, which is a small village, and the actual Firebase site. From what players have been able to surmise, not only is there one box spawn location in the small village but it won’t actually spawn there at the start of your game; it’ll be somewhere over in the base. Over in the base, however, there’s a few areas where players will be able to find the mystery box. If you want a quick tip, remember that the box will emit a large blue beam into the air, so if you’re ever confused, look for that. Courtyard: this spawn is in the main starting village in the central outside area. It’s pretty hard to miss. – Planning Offices: as soon as you come out of the teleporter in the base, open the door to your left. The spawn point will be inside the building upstairs. – Rocky Defense: This spawn point is located in the area outside of the Reactor rooms, where the the Artillery Strike is located. – Motor Pool: This spawn point can be found after leaving the room with the Rai K 84 Blueprint and making your way back to main starting area. – Barracks: If you open the door next to Tombstone and run down the main path, you’ll find this spawn point. – Jungle Defense: After you turn on the only Aether Reactor found outside, the blast should open up another area right behind it. The spawn can be found there. – It’s important to point out that, unfortunately, there’s no way of knowing if these are the only locations, they are just the one’s we know about right now. As more arise, we will update this article. Keep it locked to Dexerto for more Black Ops Cold War Firebase Z guides, including how to Pack-A-Punch your weapon and how to complete the Easter Egg once it goes live.

All MW3 perks changes explained in Season 5 – Dexerto
All MW3 perks changes explained in Season 5 ActivisionModern Warfare 3 Season 5 introduces a lengthy list of perk changes that will influence your vest of choice moving forward. There are 12 different vests in Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer, and each one besides the infantry vest received a buff in Season 5. Sledgehammer Games added new Perks or equipment slots to each vest, changing how you mix and match your loadouts in multiplayer matches. Each buff fills a gap that previously detracted players from using a vest or prevented them from reaching their full potential. But while these changes help every vest, a few appeal more on paper than others after the update. Every perk change in Modern Warfare 3 Season 5 Here is a list of every perk change made in Season 5: Engineer Vest Added a Lethal Equipment slot. – – Gunner Vest Added a Boots Perk slot. – – Demolition Vest Added a second Gear Perk slot. – – CCT Comms Vest Added a Tactical Equipment slot. – – Overkill Vest Added a Field Upgrade slot. – – Ninja Vest Added a Gloves Perk slot. – – Assassin Vest Added a Field Upgrade slot. – – Gunslinger Vest Added an extra Lethal Equipment to the equipped slot. – – Mission Control Vest Added a Boots Perk slot. – – Modular Assault Rig Vest Added a second Gear Perk slot. – – Compression Carrier Vest Added a Tactical Equipment slot. – – Best vest to use in Modern Warfare 3 Season 5 The engineer vest is the best option in Season 5. This vest was arguably the most useful already, but this update adds a lethal equipment slot, meaning players can now carry around a throwing knife, thermites, or whatever item they want to use in this slot. Unlike other vests, the engineer vest is not very restrictive in taking away other slots. It grants additional tactical equipment, recharges field upgrades faster, and locates enemy equipment, field upgrades, and killstreaks through walls for your team. If the engineer vest is not for you, the gunner vest is much more viable now that players can equip Boots while using it. The ability to carry around two primary weapons while also having silent footsteps is a game-changer and worth a try. Meanwhile, the ninja vest, which eliminates footstep sounds and resupplies throwing stars and knives every 25 seconds, now allows players to use gloves. This is a significant change because the quick-grip gloves allow players to throw quicker, and the ordinance gloves grant better throwing speed and trajectory. If you need a weapon to pair with these vests, check out our guide on the best ARs MW3.

All Modern Warfare nerfs & buffs for perks & weapons in Season 2 update – Dexerto
All Modern Warfare nerfs & buffs for perks & weapons in Season 2 update Infinity WardThe launch of Modern Warfare Season Two has implemented some major changes to some of the perks in multiplayer, as well as some weapon balancing. After weeks of anticipation and even a small delay, the second season of Modern Warfare finally launched on February 11, introducing a lot of new content and some major changes to the game. One of the biggest adjustments that the v1.14 update implemented was directed at how certain perks work in multiplayer – a whopping 11 of them were targeted to be exact. In addition, there was some weapon tuning also done via this patch – three guns were affected, including the recently-added Crossbow, SA87 SMG, and RAM-7 assault rifle. Read More: Modern Warfare Season 2 update patch notes – A full breakdown of all these changes can be found below, including the parts of the patch notes that directly pertain to them. Perks rebalancing & changes All three perk slots were affected by the changes that this v1.14 patch introduced – four from slot one, four from slot two, and three from slot three. Perk 1 slots The powerful Overkill perk was moved to the second slot with Killchain taking its place in the first category. For E.O.D., the hacking ability was removed and added to Spotter. Double Time was buffed to double the recharge rate of tactical sprint, and Quick Fix was also improved with reduced health regeneration delay, meaning that the regen immediately starts following any kill. Perk 2 slots Ghost was slightly nerfed with the removal of immunity to Snapshot Grenades, with the effect added instead to Battle Hardened. Restock was buffed, with the equipment recharge rate reduced from 30 to 25 seconds. As mentioned above, Killchain was removed from slot two and added to the first slot, switching places with Overkill. Last but not least, Pointman was nerfed so players now need to get more score to earn scorestreaks across all modes. Perk 3 slots Tune Up’s reduction to the cost of Field Upgrades was increased while Spotter, as mentioned above, now has the hacking ability that formerly belonged to E.O.D. Infinity Ward noted that they’re “working on the ability to hack through walls.” Battle Hardened was significantly buffed, as it now has the Snapshot Grenade immunity and added resistance to Gas Grenades. Now, when players enter gas, the game no longer plays a coughing effect. Also, the slowdown and vision blur caused by the gas have both been reduced. Weapon balancing changes The tuning to weapons in this Season 2 patch was not as extensive as some of the recent updates, particularly the one on January 28 that nerfed both the MP5 and M4. The main focus with v1.14 was the Crossbow, which many players have been frustrated about since it was able to take down the very expensive Juggernaut killstreak with a single exploding bolt. That’s now been changed, of course, along with the gun’s reload speed, which was “slightly tuned.” Two fixes were also implemented, one for some kills not tracking properly when attempting to unlock the new weapon and the second for a bug making the Crossbow unable to do melee damage to Deployable Cover. As for the rest of the weapon changes, the SA87 LMG’s recoil was “smoothed out” and its damage increased, while the RAM-7’s extended mag ammo count was increased from 45 to 50. Here are the official patch notes regarding the changes to both perks and weapons. For more details about the rest of this patch, make sure to visit our Season 2 update patch notes. Perks – Rebalancing Perk 1 Slots Overkill: Switched places with Killchain and will now be in Perk 2 – E.O.D.: Removed hacking ability (added to Spotter perk) – Double Time: Double the recharge rate of Tactical Sprint – Quick Fix: Reduced health regeneration delay – any kill will immediately start regeneration – – Perk 2 Slots Ghost: Remove Snapshot grenade immunity (moved to Battle Hardened) – Restock: Change the equipment recharge rate from 30 to 25 seconds – Killchain: Switched places with Overkill In Perk 1 – Pointman: Increase the score gain for Scorestreaks across all modes – – Perk 3 Slots Tune Up: Increase Field Upgrade cost reduction – Spotter: Added hacking ability (from E.O.D.); we’re currently working on the ability to hack through walls. – Battle Hardened: Added Snapshot grenade immunity (moved from Ghost) – Added Gas grenade resistance: Cough is no longer played when a player enters gas – Reduced slowdown under gas effect – Reduced blur when under gas effect – – – – Weapons: Crossbow: Fix for some kills not tracking properly when attempting to unlock the Crossbow – Fixed explosive Fury crossbow bolts to not kill Juggernauts in one hit – Very slight tuning to the reload speed. We’re still fine tuning this one, so more adjusting is in the works! – Fixed a bug where the Crossbow did not do any melee damage to Deployable Cover – – SA87– Smoothed out recoil, increased damage – Increased RAM-7 extended mags ammo count from 45 to 50 – *A note from the weapons team! The Solozero NVG Enhanced is supposed to see through smoke, but a rendering bug broke this one optic temporarily. We’ll have it fixed shortly! –

All Modern Warfare 3 Zombies acts & rewards – Dexerto
All Modern Warfare 3 Zombies acts & rewards ActivisionMW3 Zombies presents a much different story than Zombies fans are familiar with. Instead of delivering a plot through Easter Eggs and lore, MW3 utilizes multiple acts as a narrative device.

The military police try to stop Zakhaev, and the skirmish devolves into a gunfight. Outnumbered and out of options, Zakhaev throws one of the vials toward the police, and the vessel shatters, and purple smoke engulfs the entire street, transforming everyone into zombies. Operation Deadbolt tasks squads with stopping Zakhaev and Terminus Outcomes, a private military company, from stealing more resources while also containing the zombie outbreak before it spreads any further.

All Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2 Killstreaks revealed – Dexerto
All Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2 Killstreaks revealed ActivisonKillstreaks in Modern Warfare 2 are going to be essential for maximizing your total kills and taking home the win in a match, so here’s a full rundown of all the available killstreaks. While weapons, perks, and field upgrades are all essential aspects of Modern Warfare 2, it wouldn’t be a Call of Duty title without killstreaks. These lethal tools reward you for racking up enough objective points and kills, giving you the opportunity to push your advantage and crush your enemies. However, as you’ll have to choose three killstreaks before each match and there’s a total of 19 available, it’s key you’re familiar with every single option if you want to control the battlefield. So, let’s check out every single killstreak available to you in Modern Warfare 2 and the specific ones sold in the Buy Stations in Warzone 2. All killstreaks & scorestreaks in Modern Warfare 2 UAV – 4 Kills / 500 Score The classic UAV is of course available as a killstreak in Modern Warfare 2. Once activated, the UAV flies high above the playable space, revealing enemy locations on the minimap every few seconds for all squad members until it needs to refuel. Bomb Drone – 4 Kills / 500 Score The Bomb Drone is a user-controlled drone with a C4 attached to it, allowing you to scout buildings for potential enemies and blow up any opponents in your way. Counter-UAV – 5 Kills / 625 Score As the name suggests, the Counter-UAV killstreak foils any enemy UAV as well as other tools that use the minimap to display information. Care Package – 5 Kills / 625 Score If you want to add some randomness to your Modern Warfare 2 experience, the Care Package is the killstreak for you. After activating this Killstreak, your Operator gets a Care Package marker to throw or place down. A Care Package will contain one of any standard Killstreak that is not another Care Package or Emergency Airdrop. Cluster Mine – 5 Kills / 625 Score A brand new killstreak for Modern Warfare 2, the Cluster Mine will automatically detect enemy players within a short radius and send up one of four mines. The blast is slightly bigger than a lethal equipment explosion, making it possible to wipe out a small group of tightly-packed enemies. Precision Airstrike – 6 Kills / 750 Score Another classic killstreak, the Precision Airstrike will command two jets to swoop down in succession, raining down bombs and gunfire on the best available path. Cruise Missile – 6 Kills / 750 Score Similar to the iconic Predator Missile, the Cruise Missile can be piloted to target specific enemies or blow up other enemies’ killstreaks in the airspace. Mortar Strike – 6 Kills / 750 Score The Mortar Strike is targeted by using a laser pointer and will cause several artillery shells to pepper a circular zone in an explosive barrage. S.A.E. – 7 Kills / 875 Score Described as a “super Precision Airstrike” by the devs, the S.A.E. killstreak drops explosives that destroy any enemy, killstreak, or equipment that is not covered. Sentry Gun – 7 Kills / 875 Score An AI-controlled weapon, the Sentry Gun killstreak scans for nearby enemies and beams them down with fiery bullets. This killstreak is perfect for controlling a zone or chokepoint that opponents want to pass through. VTOL Jet – 8 Kills / 1,000 Score Modern Warfare 2 veterans know the power of the deadly VTOL Jet well. After calling it in to strike a specific area via tablet, the VTOL Jet will drop two sets of bombs, dealing massive damage in a wide target area. Overwatch Helo – 8 Kills / 1,000 Score The Overwatch Helo is a powerful killstreak similar to the Attack Helicopter from previous games. However, in Modern Warfare 2, it follows relatively closely behind your Operator and pings enemy locations. Wheelson-HS – 8 Kills / 1,000 Score The Wheelson-HS is a movable sentry that has a variety of offensive and aquatic capabilities. Equipped with a lethal mini-turret, the player-controlled device can make easy work of any opponent it encounters. Stealth Bomber – 10 Kills / 1,250 Score The Stealth Bomber, as hinted in the name, is an explosive killstreak that enemies will not see coming. Capable of blanketing the map with countless explosions, it’s well worth adding to your selection. Chopper Gunner – 10 Kills / 1,250 Score The Chopper Gunner allows Operators to jump into the pilot/gunner’s seat of a helicopter that brings plenty of offensive firepower against the opposition while it flies over the entire map. Emergency Airdrop – 10 Kills / 1,250 Score Why call in one Care Package, when you can call in three? The Emergency Airdrop killstreak is a high-risk and high reward, and is guaranteed to lure plenty of enemies to the area. Gunship – 12 Kills / 1,500 Score By far the most powerful user-control aerial killstreak in Modern Warfare 2, the Gunship offers laser-tracking missiles that can wipe out other killstreaks, vehicles, or large groups of enemies. Not only that, the 40mm cannon is perfect to pepper killstreaks and vehicles if the missile is not available. Advanced UAV – 12 Kills / 1,500 Score Once activated, the Advanced UAV reveals all enemy locations for you and all allies, as well as shows what direction those enemies are facing. This is active for as long as a standard UAV. Juggernaut – 15 Kills / 1,875 Score The Juggernaut killstreak provides Operators with a suit of heavy armor complete with a minigun. This weapon has the highest damage per second out of any gun in the game. Keep in mind, that after the Juggernaut perishes, this weapon becomes available with any remaining bullets it has, making it a surefire power weapon in anyone’s hands. All Warzone 2 killstreaks & scorestreaks Unlike Modern Warfare 2, killstreaks & scorestreaks cannot be earned by racking up kills in Warzone 2. Instead, players have to buy them from Buy Stations for a certain amount of money earned in a match. Currently, only UAV and Precision Airstrike were showcased as options to buy in the gameplay we’ve seen, but it’s possible more will be added in the future. In the original Warzone, Cluster Strikes and Strafing Runs were the two air support varietals, but they may be in for a remix this time around. So, there you have it, that’s everything you need to know about the killstreaks in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. For more news and guides check out our Call of Duty hub.

All Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2 Field Upgrades – Dexerto
All Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2 Field Upgrades ActivisionKnowing how all the Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Field Upgrades function will give you a huge advantage on the battlefield, so check out our hub for an explanation of every piece of equipment. Field Upgrades can give you a huge advantage in both Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, especially when used effectively. Not only can Defensive Archetypes like Deploayble Cover save you from incoming fire, but Aggressive Archetypes like Battle Rage can provide a much-needed boost to health regen. There are plenty of Field Upgrades to choose from in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, so we’ve provided a handy explanation for all of them. After all, knowing how each piece of equipment functions will help you choose the best Field Upgrades to use in the game. All Field Upgrades in Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2 Field Upgrades in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 are designed with three common Operator archetypes in mind, these are as follows: Aggressive Archetype: Operators who prefer the run-and-gun approach. – Reactive Archetype: Operators who prefer a tactical playstyle. – Defensive Archetype: Operators who prefer to lock down and hold positions. – All the available Field Upgrades in Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2 can be found below: Deployable Cover Defensive Archetype Deployable Cover can be rapidly deployed when you and your team find yourself in an open location that lacks any defensive structures. This Field Upgrade can also be used to mount weapons like an LMG to help increase its accuracy. Tactical Insertion Reactive Archetype Just like previous titles, Tactical Insertion marks a location as your next spawn point. It’s important to note that this Field Upgrade doesn’t have an effect in one-life modes like Search and Destroy. Trophy System Defensive Archetype A deployable defense system that destroys up to three nearby pieces of equipment and projectiles. Trophy Systems are a lifesaver for those who want to counter enemy explosives. This Field Upgrade can also be placed on vehicles to deter rockets and other ordinances. Portable Radar Aggressive Archetype As the name suggests, the Portable Radar can reveal nearby enemy locations. This is particularly useful on smaller multiplayer maps or in objective game modes where the radar’s coverage can help spot out enemy movements. Battle Rage Aggressive Archetype An experimental stimulant that provides Operators with rapid health regeneration, Tactical Equipment resistance, and instant refresh to Tactical Sprint. Suppression Mine Defensive Archetype A trip mine that emits a constant sound wave and disrupts enemy vision, slowing their movement when triggered. This Field Upgrade is particularly deadly when you’re locking down a zone or wish to alert your team when enemy players are nearby. Loadout Drop Reactive Archetype Call in a team-based loadout crate that enables allied players to select an extra Primary Weapon. This Field Upgrade is particularly useful if you wish to switch weapons on the fly or provide aid to your allies. Tactical Camera Defensive Archetype A remote-controlled camera that marks enemies. Use the Field Upgrade command to throw it, then do it again to connect to it. When left on its own, the camera will monitor the area, and warn players of nearby enemies by sound. Munitions Box Defensive Archetype Just like previous CoD titles, the Munitions Box can be used to resupply Operators and is incredibly valuable when you’re out of bullets and equipment. Smoke Airdrop Reactive Archetype The Smoke Airdrop enables players to call in a line of drones to deploy a thick wall of smoke at a targeted location. This Field Upgrade is great for providing cover or blocking a pesky sniper’s line of sight. Inflatable Decoy Defensive Archetype A proximity-activated decoy mine, that upon activation will unleash an inflatable target that is deployed to confuse enemies. Operators can use the Field Upgrade command a second time for manual activation. Recon Drone Reactive Archetype A remote-controlled drone that has manual and auto-marking capabilities. Great for spotting potential targets or for scouting out an area before moving zones. The Recone Drone can also be used as a makeshift bomb when C4 is attached to it. DDOS Aggressive Archetype The DDOS Field Upgrade deactivates electronics and disrupts enemy sensors in the immediate area for a short time. This Field Upgrade is particularly useful in locations where you suspect there will be lots of enemy equipment. Anti-Armor Rounds Reactive Archetype Provides ammo that applies bonus damage against armored targets, which includes vehicles, equipment, body armor, and targets behind penetrable cover. Dead Silence Aggressive Archetype Dead Silence temporarily makes your footsteps silent. Any kills secured via guns, melee, and throwing knife eliminations will reset the duration. Many of the Field Upgrades above may have different uses in Warzone 2, so we’ll update this piece as soon as we hear more information. In the meantime, be sure to check out our Call of Duty page for all the latest news and guides.

How to unlock all Modern Warfare 2 perks: New MW2 perk system explained – Dexerto
How to unlock all Modern Warfare 2 perks: New MW2 perk system explained ActivisionCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has introduced a brand new Perk system and a few new additions. Here are all the perks in Modern Warfare 2 and how the new system works. Perks in Call of Duty can change the tide of a battle when used tactically. They give you an edge over the enemy and grant you abilities to dominate the battlefield. However, you need to understand the perks to truly benefit. The new system in Modern Warfare 2 can be a little confusing. So we’ve compiled all the perks in Modern Warfare 2 and explained just how the game’s new perk system works. All Modern Warfare 2 perks Base perks You can select two base perks in Modern Warfare 2 so choose carefully. Here’s what they are: Overkill: Allows you to carry two Primary Weapons – Double Time: Lets you move 30% faster when crouching and doubles the duration of your sprint – Battle Hardened: Grants you immunity to Snapshot Grenades and reduces the effect of Flash’s, Stuns, EMPs, Gas Grenades, and Shock Sticks. – Scavenger: Lets you scavenge ammo and knives from fallen players – Bomb Squad: Reduces your damage from non-Killstreak explosives. Also resets the timer when you pick up a live grenade. – Tracker: Enemies will leave a footprint trail, you can see enemy death markers, and the enemy can’t see your kill markers. – Strong Arm: Lets you throw equipment further and shows the trajectory before you throw it. – Extra Tactical: Give you an additional Tactical. – Bonus perks Bonus perks are granted every four minutes into the game and there are some handy additions. Resupply: Grants you an additional Lethal and means your Equipment recharges over 25 seconds. – Spotter: Lets you see enemy equipment, Field Upgrades, and Killstreaks through walls. You can highlight them for your team by looking through your sight. Also lets you hack Claymores, Proximity Mines, C4, and Trophy Systems. – Cold-Blooded: Makes you undetectable to enemy targeting systems and thermals. – Fast Hands: Lets you reload, swap weapons, and use equipment faster. – Hardline: Reduces your Killstreak cost by one kill and reduces your Scorestreak cost by 125. – Focus: Extends your Hold Breath duration and reduces the flinch when aiming down sights. – Ultimate perks Ultimate perks are granted every eight minutes into the game so be careful when selecting yours. High Alert: Pulses your screen when an enemy player spots you before you spot them. – Ghost: Makes you undetectable by UAVs, Portable Radars, and Heartbeat Sensors. – Quick Fix: Triggers your health regeneration for every kill and for holding objectives. – Overclock: Lets you store one additional Field Upgrade charge. Also increases your Field Upgrade charge rate by 40%. – Survivor: When you die you enter Last Stand which allows you to self-revive once per life. – Birds’ Eye: The minimap zooms out and UAV and Radar pings reveal the enemy’s direction. – The new Modern Warfare 2 perk system explained The new Modern Warfare 2 perk system is a little different than what we’ve seen in previous titles. It still has many of the perks we know and love but the way they activate and the way they are used have changed. Essentially, you get Perk Packages that grant you two base perks, one Bonus, and one Ultimate. You get the option to create five custom Perk Packages but there will also be pre-made Packages for you to try out. The two base perks you get will work as usual. You choose what they both are and they last throughout the game. However, the Bonus and Ultimate work a little differently. You’ll be able to pick one Bonus and Ultimate perk for your loadout so be sure to choose the right perk for your gameplay. The Bonus perk is given during the game. It’s earned every four minutes and the Ultimate perk is earned every eight minutes. Although, you can get them a little quicker because the timers can be sped up as you increase your score. This can be done by killing the enemy, getting assists, completing objectives, and more. For every ten points, one second gets shaved off the timer, so the more you kill and play the quicker you can activate the Bonus and Ultimate perks. How to unlock Modern Warfare 2 perks Here’s how to unlock every Modern Warfare 2 perk. Base Perks Overkill: Reach level 31 – Double Time: Automatically unlocked – Battle Hardened: Reach Level 37 – Scavenger: Reach Level 26 – Bomb Squad: Reach Level 11 – Tracker: Reach Level 39 – Strong Arm: Automatically unlocked – Extra Tactical: Reach Level 18 – Bonus Perks Hardline: Automatically unlocked – Fast Hands: Reach Level 8 – Cold Blooded: Reach Level 28 – Spotter: Reach Level 41 – Resupply: Reach Level 30 – Focus: Reach Level 50 – Ultimate Perks Overclock: automatically unlocked – Survivor: Reach Level 34 – Birdseye: Reach Level 47 – High Alert: Reach Level 14 – Ghost: Reach Level 52 – Quick Fix: Reach Level 44 – Those are all the available Perks in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

All Modern Warfare 2 beta maps and game modes – Dexerto
All Modern Warfare 2 beta maps and game modes ActivisionThe Modern Warfare 2 beta is here and players are getting their first taste of the next era of Call of Duty. While the experience is a bit limited, we’ve compiled all of the maps and game modes that are available to play throughout the early preview. At long last, the Modern Warfare 2 beta is here and players are diving deep into everything the sequel has to offer so far. From up-close madness to a more relaxed, calculated playstyle, there’s a wealth of new things to get a feel for this time around. It might only be scratching the surface of what the full title will be bringing to the table, but here are all of the maps and modes that are currently available in the beta. Every map in the Modern Warfare 2 beta At the time of writing, there are four battlefields for players to duke it out on. Each of these locations offers a unique feeling from one another and even though it’s a small sample size, the various regions and climates offer quite the varied experience already. Valderas Museum This modern exhibit plants players in a non-traditional warzone full of priceless artifacts and structures. It’s bright and clean with a mix of close-range alleys and long-distance sightlines. While it might seem like an odd place for a firefight to go down, the scattered displays and mixed terrain makes for an intriguing combination to take on the competition. Farm 18 This is the smallest map in the beta and offers the aggressive players of the world a chance to really get loose. This is the ideal map for anyone who likes to roll with an SMG or a Shotgun as their primary because there are very few opportunities to get picked off from distance. The environment calls back to maps like Downpour of the franchise’s past, though the faster gameplay is more reminiscent of Shoot House than the CoD 4 classic. Mercado Las Almas A mix of industrial and residential buildings, Mercado Las Almas is a vibrant battleground that also offers up a mix of tight alleyways and straight-on sightlines, meaning every player should be able to find a niche for themselves in the chaos. Overall it is on the smaller side, so objective-based matches will likely get hectic as traffic begins to flood into the key connecting points around the map. Breenbergh Hotel This medium-sized map is deceptive in its design. While there are some tight corners to be found in the interior of the hotel, the central area is filled with long, open hallways that will surely punish anyone who gets too far ahead of themselves. These deathtrap areas might not be as open as those found in the Ground War playlist but riskier players will have to stay on their toes and move quickly through the interior. All game modes in Modern Warfare 2 There are six total playlists to pair with the maps, and while many of them will be familiar even to casual players, there are a few newcomers on the list as well. Team Deathmatch – Domination – Search and Destroy – Prisoner Rescue – Knockout – 3rd-Person Moshpit – Prisoner Rescue and Knockout are the standouts here, both offering new objectives to the Call of Duty universe. The former is a hostage-rescue scenario seen in other shooters like Rainbow Six and Counter-Strike, while Knockout tasks players with protecting a package as the opposing team attempt to strip it away from them. Both of these are one-life game modes that you can learn more about in our breakdown here. 3rd Person modes also make a return to the franchise but with an updated aiming system that completely overhauls a classic experience. That’s everything in the Modern Warfare 2 beta! For more information on what to expect in this new generation, check out the rest of our coverage here.

All maps & modes in Black Ops 6 beta – Dexerto
All maps & modes in Black Ops 6 beta ActivisionCall of Duty: Black Ops 6 will feature 16 new maps at launch, but players only get access to a few during the game’s beta. The Black Ops 6 beta starts on Aug. 30 and ends on Sept. 3 for players who pre-ordered the game on all platforms. Then, it opens to everyone from Sept. 6 through 9. The test period only gives players multiplayer access, meaning players must wait until the full release before diving into Zombies and Campaign missions. Let’s jump right into what players can expect. Every beta game mode Here are all of the game modes in the Black Ops 6 beta. Team Deathmatch: Use teamwork to eliminate enemy players and reach the score limit. – Domination: Capture and hold up to three zones to gain points for your team. – Hardpoint: Capture and hold the Hardpoint (a zone that shifts to several locations during the match) to earn points for your team. – Face off: The playlist involves either two players versus two players, one player versus one on small, tight maps, or three players versus three players. – Kill Order: Each team has a high-value target. All kills count, but teams get more points for killing a high-value target. The high-value target gets added armor and their screen pings when an enemy sees them. – Gunfight: Eliminate all enemy players using pre-determined classes to win the round. No respawns. – Domination brings back zones instead of using flags. In addition, Hardpoint added numbers to the zones, so they know which is which and can plan better for future rotations. All beta maps Here is a list of every map coming in the beta. Core: Scud, Babylon, Rewind, Skyline, Derelict – Strike: Gala, Pit, Stakeout – The Rewind map and Kill Order game mode weren’t in the game when the beta first started but, if you’re reading this, they’ve since been added. Kill Order has its own playlist, but it’ll also come up randomly in the Moshpit playlist as well. Meanwhile, Stakeout is exclusive to Gunfight and Pit is exclusive to Face-Off. Gala is playable in both alternative playlists, though. Core maps support 6v6 matches, while Strike features 6v6 and 2v2 lobbies. During Call of Duty NEXT, we got a first look at some of these new maps. For Strike maps, there aren’t any scorestreaks to limit the chaos in short-range engagements. For more on Black Ops 6 check out our guide about Warzone’s new map.

Full list of Modern Warfare game modes apparently leaked – Dexerto
Full list of Modern Warfare game modes apparently leaked Infinity Ward (Activision)A data miner has sourced and decrypted Modern Warfare files revealing all of the game modes that are coming to the newest Call of Duty — which sees the surprise return of an old fan-favorite. The Modern Warfare beta was a huge success, with Activision announcing that it was the best in the franchise’s history with the most hours played and highest peak concurrent player count across all platforms combined. Infinity Ward’s stress test has also gained them some valuable feedback ahead of the official launch on October 25, with the developers finding themselves with a comprehensive list of issues to work on before release. Nonetheless, interest is still rife within the Modern Warfare community, and as such, information pertaining to the title is still slipping through the cracks. A Reddit user (u/Impalla) posted onto the Modern Warfare subreddit with their discovery of game modes that are set to be included in the upcoming Call of Duty title. As claimed by the leak, Demolition is set to make its return to the franchise, while the popularity of Cyber Attack during the beta sees it get its own Hardcore variation. All leaked game modes for Modern Warfare According to u/Impalla, all of the game modes can be found by running Modern Warfare on PC and creating a dump file (which contains all of the modules that Modern Warfare has to execute), and then analyzing the .dmp files accordingly. Here is a full list of the game modes coming to this year’s iteration of Call of Duty, according to the leak: All or Nothing – Arms Race (and Hardcore variation) – Assault – Breach – Capture the Flag – Cyber Attack (and Hardcore variation) – Defender – Demolition – Domination (and Hardcore variation) – Drop Zone – Fire Mission (and Hardcore variation) – Fireteam (and Hardcore variatio) – Free-For-All (and Hardcore variation) – Grind – Ground War – Gun Game – Gunfight (and Hardcore variation) – Hardpoint – Headquarters (and Hardcore variation) – High Value Target – Incursion – Infected – Invasion (and Hardcore variation) – Kill Confirmed (and Hardcore variation) – One in the Chamber – Onslaught – Reinforce – Rupture – Search and Destroy (and Hardcore variation) – Search and Rescue – Showdown (and Hardcore variation) – Survival – Team Deathmatch (and Hardcore variation) – Team Juggernaut – Alongside leaking all of the game modes, the Reddit user also posted all of the subtitles associated with each mode. Should these modes come to fruition upon release, players will have a wide-array of modes to choose from, with a large selection getting a hardcore adaptation. Evidently, this is just a leak, and as such, does not provide any official confirmation. Moreover, this list is not set in stone and is subject to change before release. Nonetheless, it does provide a hat tip towards the effort that Infinity Ward are putting into their title behind the scenes, as an extensive list of this nature ensures it will cater for all players’ needs upon release.

All Hidden Cache locations in Warzone 2 – Dexerto
All Hidden Cache locations in Warzone 2 ActivisionWarzone 2 has tons of ways to make cash when traveling Al Mazrah. One such way is to find some Hidden Caches which are hidden around the large map. Here’s where to find all the Warzone 2 Hidden Cache. Warzone 2 is more than just a simple Battle Royale. On top of fighting their way to victory, players can complete contracts, bring in loadouts, ride helicopters, and so much more. However, to achieve some of these feats you need cash, and to get the cash, you often need to risk your life. Unless you find a Hidden Cache filled with money. We’ve compiled all the locations for these Warzone 2 Hidden Caches so you can grab some much-needed cash without risking your team’s life too much. Currently, we haven’t found any Hidden Caches in Al Mazrah City, Fortress, Sa’id City, or Ahkdar Village. However, if any are located we will be adding them to this article so be sure to check back soon. Contents What are Hidden Caches – How to find Hidden Caches – All Hidden Cache locations – Quarry – Oasis – Taraq Village – Rohan Oil – Hydroelectric – Marshlands – Al Sharim Pass – Observatory – Airport – Sarrif Bay – Sawah Village – Cemetery – Caves – Port – What are Hidden Caches in Warzone 2? Hidden Caches are essentially Warzone 2’s treasure chests. They’re often well-hidden packages that can hold up to $3,500, making them ideal for redeploying your lost teammates, buying weapons, or other lifesaving perks. How to find Hidden Caches in Warzone 2 To find Hidden Caches in Warzone 2, you’ll need to head to their location. They can be found on the ground and should be relatively clear when you’re in the right spot. Keep an eye on the ground and you’ll be able to gain some quick and easy cash without needing to complete contracts. All Hidden Cache locations in Warzone 2 Thanks to Twitter user Nianfo, we now have all the locations of the Hidden Caches in Warzone 2. When more are added we will be updating this article so be sure to check back soon. In the meantime, we’ve separated each location so you know where the Caches are as soon as you drop in. Quarry There are three Hidden Caches in the Quarry but they are all relatively spread out. It’s worth looking out for these if you stumble across the location rather than heading out to the Quarry for the sole purpose of finding Caches. Oasis Due to the number of Hidden Caches in such close proximity, the Oasis is a prime spot to loot when you’re looking for a bit of cash. Although it is a relatively open area so approach with caution. Taraq Village It’s recommended you head over to Oasis to hunt for Hidden Caches when you find yourself along that side of Al Mazrah. While you’re around that location, keep an eye out for the three Caches dotted around Taraq Village. Rohan Oil Rohan Oil has plenty of Hidden Caches dotted around its location. You’ll need to keep your eyes peeled when traveling through. The south east will be the most fruitful. Hydroelectric Along with Oasis, Hydroelectric is a fantastic location to head into if you’re looking for a bit more cash without needing to complete contracts. It may be relatively open but it’s well worth it if you want some quick cash. Marshlands The Marshlands are extremely baron when it comes to Hidden Caches. You’ll be able to find them with ease but it’s only worth heading over there if you really need cash. Al Sharim Pass Al Sharim Pass has four Hidden Caches in close proximity, meaning you could get up to $14,000 without needing to travel far. As for the other three locations, head over the river and they’ll be yours. Observatory The Observatory isn’t the best place to look for Hidden Caches but can still prove to be fruitful if you find yourself around the riverbed or the Observatory itself. Airport The Airport is a risky location but can prove to be extremely valuable if you manage to stay alive. It’s worth trying to push the Airport if you find yourself needing cash, but keep an eye out for any other players, the last thing you want to do is get stuck in an open dead end like this. Sarrif Bay Unless you find yourself in Sarrif Bay, this is not the best Hidden Cache around. It’s tough to get to and there are much better locations to head to. Sawah Village One of those better locations is Sawah Village. There are tons of locations to find and some are in extremely close proximity. It’s well worth heading over here. Cemetery Once you’ve looted the Sawah Village, going over to the Cemetery is the next best option. It’s filled with Hidden Caches and will likely make you thousands of dollars. It may be open and risky but if you can stay alive, it’s well worth any trouble you’ll come across. Caves While not overly plentiful, the Caves have some useful Hidden Caches dotted around. Head over there if you need some quick and easy cash in Warzone 2. Port Only one Cache can be found in the Port, meaning it’s ideal if you find yourself already there but is not worth actively searching for unless you want to get all the Caches in Warzone 2.

All free Field Upgrades & Equipment locations on Warzone Rebirth Reinforced map – Dexerto
All free Field Upgrades & Equipment locations on Warzone Rebirth Reinforced map ActivisionWith Warzone’s Season 2 Reloaded patch bringing Rebirth Reinforced into the battle royale’s equation, players are keen to know where equipment, Field Upgrades, and special items spawn in on the new map. Here’s everything you need to know. The Season 2 Reloaded update for Warzone dropped on March 23, bringing a host of changes to the battle royale in an effort to fix its problems and shake up the meta moving forwards. Among other things, Rebirth Island received an overhaul with the patch, seeing new POIs added and certain areas reworked. Following the changes, players want to know where they can find special items and equipment that will help them win matches, without having to dispense with cash they’ve accumulated. That means tracking down free Gas Masks, Self-Revive Kits, Armor Boxes, and Munitions boxes. Thankfully, Redditor ‘ohhAtaraxia‘ has provided players with a trusty map to inform them of where equipment will spawn. An important caveat here is that spawns are not guaranteed, meaning they will vary from match to match. The locations stay the same, but each item will not spawn into its set location in every single match. As their map shows, there are six locations where Self-Revive Kits can spawn, four locations each for Armor and Munitions Boxes, and three locations for Gas Masks. The spread of the loot across Rebirth means there’s not really a best area for players to visit if they need Field Upgrades or equipment. The Redditor also uploaded a YouTube video, showing in detail each location so players know exactly where to look. As previously stated, there’s no guarantee the items will be present in every game but, if you’re in the area, you may as well have a look to try and get your hands on free equipment. There are also a number of weapon blueprint spawn locations on Rebirth Reinforced, so be sure to check those out too.

All Fortune’s Keep POIs & changes in Warzone Season 2 update ActivisionFortune’s Keep is finally back in Warzone with the Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 update, after a lengthy spell on the sidelines — but the map isn’t exactly how players will remember it. Here are the key changes. Fortune’s Keep didn’t last a very long time when it first came to Warzone, in the game for just a few short months before the MW2 integration wiped all old maps from the game to bring in a batch of new ones. Now, it’s finally back with February 7’s Season 2 update, ahead of the highly-anticipated Rebirth Island return, which doesn’t yet have a set date. While players will have familiar drops from Fortune’s Keep with rotations that they enjoy and know well, some of that may well have changed or been removed entirely. Fortune’s Keep POIs & map changes Here are all of the changes, per the Warzone Season 2 patch notes: Extendable Bridges Three Extendable Bridges over gaps in the fallen roadways are now present. – These are not portable, but rather you can extend or retract them across a gap in the road by using a small control console, one on either side of the bridge. – The controls react to more than melee interaction, in case you’re wanting to activate the bridge at range. – – In addition, this updated version of Fortune’s Keep will encompass 11 Major Points of Interest, detailed below. Keep: Rear Dock and Caves (North Coast) The grandeur of the Keep, with its opulent tapestries, mosaic floors, and gilded throne room, is mostly intact. Look to the north for additional pathways: With the arrival of aquatic vehicles, the steep northern cliffs below the Keep have been modified, adding a rear dock for unloading cargo, along with a rough cargo elevator (now sporting two Ascenders) enabling fast upward travel to the battlements. Under the foundations of the castle is a rock tunnel with openings to the sea, which runs east to west, all offering tactical access to and from the Keep. – – Terraces: Fishing Docks and Cliff Paths (Northwest Coast) The battlements on the western side of the Keep may have seen better days, but the layout is still familiar. To the north along the coast, discover a second pier housing fishing boats and a bait shop. The area north of Terraces has received further construction changes, with Ascenders, additional stairs running along the cliffside, and small cave openings and grottos to traverse. This stretches north of the Graveyard along the coast to the northern tip of the Town POI. – – Graveyard (Northwest Coast) The ancient stone crypts still stand on the small plateau above the Town. You might want to bank on a thorough exploration of this somber spot, not least due to the connecting tunnels burrowing down toward the epicenter of the action! – – Town: Lower (Western Coast) The coastal town is still as densely packed as you remember, with an old fortress bell tower, brightly hued apartments and stores, and a turret defending the cove from seafaring attackers. Atop the new Police Station on the north side of the cove is a helipad, usually a good spot to locate a Light Helo for airborne maneuvers. – – Town: Upper (Southwestern Coast) Initial evidence of a sizeable seismic event to hit the island is visible in the southeastern corner of Town, where a sizeable fissure has cut through the earth, splitting a dwelling into two. Tactically, this allows you to investigate the giant crack, leading to multi-level fighting opportunities and an entrance down into the main impact crater to the east. – – Overlook: Restaurant (Southwestern Coast) East of Overlook (a fortified plateau with an old, multi-floor dwelling and Salty’s Snack Bar attached to it), on a slightly lower plateau overlooking the sea, is the Trattoria Il Luna, a newly constructed restaurant instead of the shack and military tents that used to be here. The eatery offers more than great views across the south of the island; there’s exterior access to tunnels below the cliffs. – – Konni Outpost (Bay, Northeastern Coast) Once a seldom-visited locale, the old Bay POI now gives Operators their first clue to the faction behind the island’s partial collapse. Konni Group has established a small outpost here, complete with a mechanic’s garage, several small server and monitoring rooms, and a storage cave with Ascender access to the Keep’s eastern perimeter. – – Pier (Camp, Southeastern Coast) Once a military camp with tents and a small watchtower, significant construction has since modified the southeastern coast into a pier and Tasting Room for the adjacent Winery, as well as a Rohan Oil Gas Station and convenience store. – – Lighthouse (Southeastern Coast) While Smuggler’s Cove has seen cataclysmic damage, the initially alarming cracks along the exterior of the old lighthouse haven’t toppled the structure yet. – – Winery (East) The chateau specializing in fine wines has seen better days, with massive structural problems visible across the premises. This includes a giant crack through the central courtyard, allowing a novel access into the now-flooded wine cellar. Perhaps that water can be drained? The old chapel, now used as storage for the vast fermenting casks, has lost its tower, which lies in three sizeable chunks. – – Gatehouse (Center) The true extent of the damage caused by an apparent colossal subterranean explosion is most visible when investigating the Keep Gatehouse in the center of the map. The ramparts, multiple turrets, the arched entrance, and the barbican (the circular outer defensive tower) has sustained major damage, with the barbican itself sinking into the unstable ground below. – – Ground Zero (Grotto, South Coast) Almost unprecedented destruction by the Konni Group has wiped an original point of interest off the map. The Grotto is now a deep crater, with portions of the island, including main roads and buildings, all sunken or fallen into a vast crevasse. The resulting wreckage should be explored as a matter of urgency, as the epicenter of the crater has been revealed to be a large Konni laboratory with a snaking network of corridors, chambers, and tunnels. – – The Fortune’s Keep development team, High Moon Studios, also explained a number of other changes on the map: “As you’re checking out all the changes we’ve made across the map, we wanted to give you some insight into the design decisions behind them. “First off, we listened to community feedback and tackled some of the gripes you had, like making locked doors easier to spot, simplifying the complicated underground caves and addressing some of the previous power positions. As we integrated water around the map, that meant opening some areas that used to be off-limits, like the cliffs behind Keep. “We also wanted to give the place a bit of a facelift to reflect the passage of time, as forty years have passed since your last visit and the Konni Group has moved in. We swapped up the old WW2 helipad and Smuggler Camp for the new Pier and Overlook Restaurant. The small bay next to Keep is now a Konni HQ and used for their operations in the area. We finally got around to adding some areas we’ve been wanting to update for a while, like the Throne Room and Vault (good luck unlocking it) in the Keep. “Drawing from our experience building content in Warzone over the last few years, we’ve put a ton of effort into fine-tuning everything. We’ve focused on making it smoother to path through the map by reducing the clutter in our interiors, swapping out confusing window textures for closed shutters or blinds, and adding more ways to climb up onto rooftops with our vine ladders. We also did a huge sweep of the ascenders, calling them out with glowsticks or spotlights and making sure ladders have colors that make them easier to spot.”

All former CoD Champs winners to receive unique pendants – Dexerto
All former CoD Champs winners to receive unique pendants MLGMajor League Gaming and the Call of Duty World League had decided to honor former winners of the CWL Championship by giving them unique pendants. The tradition of ending every Call of Duty competitive season with a Champs tournament could soon be coming to an end, with the esport transitioning to a franchised league starting next season. This means that the currently ongoing $2 million event could be the last of its kind, with fans not sure what to expect for the future. With many of the world’s best players and teams gathered in Los Angeles, CA for Champs 2019, MLG and the CWL will honor former winners of the tournament in a way that’s never really been done before in the esport’s history. Read More: Gen.G CoD players react to shock Champs exit – “We made pendants for every Champs winner,” tweeted MLG’s Adam Apicella. “No pomp or anything for a presentation, just something cool for champions.” The pendants have been designed to feature the player’s in-game name on one side, along with the year that they won Champs and a logo of the iconic trophy. On the other side will be the logo of the game that the championship was won on, including Black Ops 2, Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, Black Ops 3, Infinite Warfare, and WWII. While all of the winning players have received their own championship rings, they’re not something that can be worn during the competition, which is why MLG decided to go with pendants. “Our thinking was, you can’t play with a ring on, but sort of like World Series of Poker, you could play with a pendant on, identifying you as a World Champ,” Apicella said. “Also, it’s just a cool memento honoring these players when they sat atop the world of their craft.” We made pendants for every champs winner, no pomp or anything for a presentation, just something cool for champions. Player name on one side, game logo on the other pic.twitter.com/TMNqP43GOO — Adam Apicella (@MrAdamAp) August 15, 2019 Apicella also revealed that they had been planning on doing a special ceremony for all of the world champions before the Grand Final of Champs 2019, but couldn’t put it together fast enough at the end. “We were going to potentially honor every champion on the stage before Grand Finals to present these, but we just ran out of time, and you don’t half ass a presentation like that. In any case, I hope that the players like it, that’s what matters.” We were going to potentially honor every champion on the stage before grand finals to present these, but we just ran out of time and you don’t half ass a presentation like that In any case, I hope the players like it, that’s what matters. — Adam Apicella (@MrAdamAp) August 15, 2019 There are, of course, numerous world champions who are competing at this year’s Champs, including three-time winner Damon ‘Karma’ Barlow, reigning champ Justin ‘SiLLY’ Fargo, and 2015 world champions Dillon ‘Attach’ Price and James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks, all of whom had fond reactions to the news. Apicella also said, tongue in cheek, that the reason organizations were not represented on the pendants was because MLG did not want to commemorate Denial Esports. “I didn’t want to put Denial on a pendant, so we went with a trophy plus player,” he tweeted. “It’s always the one org that’s got to ruin it for the rest.” Following their high of winning it all in 2015, Denial has been mired in nothing but controversy since then, twice having to shut down their operations due to financial issues, leaving multitudes of players and staff suddenly looking for a job.

All field upgrades in Black Ops Cold War and how to use them – Dexerto
All field upgrades in Black Ops Cold War and how to use them TreyarchCall of Duty has added field upgrades in recent years to add further customization headaches. Field upgrades can bring someone’s scorestreak careening to a halt or assist your team. We’re going to detail the field upgrades in Black Ops Cold War, highlight the best ones, and offer advice on how to use them. [jwplayer BhjKtHGd] Whereas a great gun can pummel your opponents full of holes, field upgrades can open up holes in their defense. The importance of these useful pieces of tech should not be underestimated as they can be devastating. Treyarch have offered a varying selection of field upgrades with each having a specific use in battle. Whether it’s damaging their team, or just simply reinforcing your team, these will surely help you in combat. Black Ops Cold War field upgrades Field upgrades are items that you will physically have to use yourself. Through a combination of L1 + R1, or LB + RB, you’ll manually activate the item and it will face a period of cooldown before reuse. Some of these will reach their full potential in different given situations, so it’s best to get an idea first. You can only select one of the field upgrades, so choose wisely. Proximity Mine Description: Throwable mine, explodes shortly after one enemy runs or drives over it. Can be avoided by crouching. Destroys any vehicle that runs over it. Recharge Time: 2:00 Best Use: A great item that would be at home in any mode. An easy way to get a kill or two during a game and could be a good tactic to place these around flags where vehicles can get to. Definitely 50/50 on its effectiveness in S&D though. With the mode offering limited lives, crouching and being stealthy is a lot more common, so consider this. Generous recharge time too. Field Mic Description: Deploys a recording device that highlights enmity sounds on your mini-map. Recharge Time: 3:15 Best Use: The second-longest recharge time for a reason. Unless enemies have perks or Jammer to counteract this, then this is a gold mine. It will grant you pretty consistent access to enemy locations. However, it’s probably best avoided in game modes where there is a lot of people as you’ll encounter enough of them anyway. Trophy System Description: Destroys thrown enemy equipment and launcher missiles within 10 meters. Recharge Time: 1:20 Best Use: This is a very scenario-specific item really. Best for S&D, defending flags, and snipers. It’s mainly suitable for people that will require less movement than usual, for sniping or defending a spot. Won’t be used by many, hence its short cooldown time. Level Unlocked: 15 SAM Turret Description: Launches missiles at enemy air scorestreaks and player-piloted helicopters. Recharge Time: 3:45 Best Use: In our mind, this is the best piece of field equipment. It takes so long to cooldown because it’s so useful. So often are players just wasting precious seconds shooting down a killstreak and revealing themselves on the minimap. Whereas this can speed up the process immeasurably and save time, and ammo, in the process. Level Unlocked: 18 Gas Mine Description: Proximity activated trap that expels a large cloud of harmful gas. Enemies inside are damaged and disoriented. Recharge Time: 2:00 Best Use: The gas mine offers healthy coverage of its lethal gas. Once again, this feels at home in a defending situation as the gas can flood the area surrounding a bomb or a flag, impeding the other team in the process. Level Unlocked: 24 Jammer Description: Creates an electronic disruption field, disabling enemy Field Upgrades, and degrading enemy minimap information. Recharge Time: 2:30 Best Use: A potential secret weapon if used correctly. If your team has solid communication, then the Jammer’s use could be endless. It can disable all of the above field upgrades, meaning no one will be interrupting scorestreaks, deploying gas mines, or highlighting your position on the minimap. It’s ‘Level 36’ unlock is indicative of the weapon’s use and many positives. Level Unlocked: 36 Field upgrades ranked After summarising our thoughts on each piece of equipment, we can now finally reveal our favorites. Every single field upgrade does have some kind of use and all are viable options. Here is our assigned rankings. SAM Turret – Jammer – Field Mic – Proximity Mine – Gas Mine – Trophy System – In the end, the SAM Turret’s ability to decimate scorestreaks is too good to turn down. Given how much a Chopper Gunner can annihilate a team, if several people throw these down, then it protects you well. That is all of the Black Ops Cold War field upgrades. Hopefully, this should give you a great idea of how to approach the Black Ops Cold War multiplayer.

All Equipment in Black Ops 6 Zombies & how to craft them – Dexerto
All Equipment in Black Ops 6 Zombies & how to craft them ActivisionHere is everything you need to know about Equipment in Black Ops 6 Zombies, including the tools featured in the game mode and how to craft them. Black Ops 6 is set to shake up Zombies once again, with brand new maps, Wonder Weapons, Perk-A-Cola boosts, and more being introduced for the upcoming installment of the popular round-based Call of Duty experience. Amidst the significant changes, the developers have ensured that the essence of Zombies remains intact, with Equipment items continuing to play a crucial role in the fight against the undead. Ahead of the game’s release, here is everything you need to know about all the different equipment included in BO6 Zombies as well as a breakdown of how you’ll be able to craft these items during your runthroughs. How to craft Equipment in BO6 Zombies: Crafting Table explained In Black Ops 6 Zombies, players will be able to craft different Equipment via the Crafting Table. This system requires players to spend their hard-earned salvage in exchange for either Lethal, Tactical, or Support items. However, you’ll be limited in what you can craft based on the amount of inventory space you have, so pick your Equipment wisely when using the Crafting Table. All Tactical, Lethal, and Support Equipment in BO6 Zombies While your weapons are central to prolonging your run in Zombies, a lucky grenade throw or a self-revive can be just as important. Thankfully, Black Ops 6 Zombies includes plenty of equipment for players to craft and use, so here are all the confirmed tactical, Lethan, and support equipment. All Lethal Equipment As the name suggests, Lethals are destructive items that can be the difference between being overwhelmed by a huge train of Zombies or living to fight another round. In BO6, the following Lethals will be available to craft and use. Frag: Cookable fragmentation grenade. – Sticky: Timed sticky grenade. – Molotov: Thrown incendiary weapon creates a patch of flames. – C4: Sticky explosive with a large damage radius. Detonate remotely. – Combat Axe: Thrown axe that kills enemies in one hit. Bounces off surfaces. – Impact Grenade: Precision grenade that explodes on impact. – Thermo Grenade: Creates a large fuel-air cloud that explodes after a duration. – Blast Trap: Planted explosive device detonates when enemies come near. – All Tactical Equipment Tactical Equipment is a great tool to help create a distraction or temporarily stun Zombies when needing a quick moment to reload, purchase a new Perk-A-Cola, or create some distance between you and the undead. Here are all the Tacticals featured in BO6 Zombies. Concussion: Grenade that slows victim’s movement and aiming. – Stim Shot: Combat stim that heals wounds and refreshes Tactical Sprint. – Smoke: Deploys a smoke screen that blocks vision and automated targeting systems. – Decoy Grenade: Attracts nearby zombies for a short duration. – Shock Charge: Electrical trap that sticks to surfaces and electrocutes enemies, stunning them. – Cymbal Monkey: Attracts zombies for a short duration before exploding. – LT53 Kazimir: Creates a small singularity that pulls in and kills enemies. – All Support Equipment The final type of Equipment available in BO6 Zombies is Support. These tools focus more on recovery and survival rather than inflicting damage on enemies. For the first time ever, players will be able to transform into a Zombie, especially a Mangler, and kill hordes of the undead using the new Mutant Injection Support tool. Aether Shroud: Phase into the Dark Aether, becoming hidden from enemy detection. – Frenzied Guard: Repair armor and force all enemies in the area to target you. During this time, kills repair a portion of your armor. – Healing Aura: Summons beams of energy down on yourself and allies to instantly revive and heal to full health. – Energy Mine: Create a mine of pure energy that detonates in rapid succession, dealing lethal electric damage. – Dark Flare: You generate a massive energy beam that deals lethal shadow damage. The beam penetrates everything in its path. – Be sure to check back in with this article as we keep it updated with all the latest information.

All contracts in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies – Dexerto
All contracts in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies ActivisionContracts offer a great way to earn XP, Essence, Perks, and more in MW3 Zombies. Here is everything you need to know about each mission. Treyarch joined the Modern Warfare 3 development team to revive zombies after being absent from the previous game. Instead of traditional round-based zombies, MW3 offers a unique hybrid between DMZ and zombies in Operation Deadbolt. The game mode supports eight teams of three up to 24 players. Squads complete missions, contracts, and loot, then attempt to extract their valuables within one hour. Zombies occur on the new Warzone map and feature different zones of varying difficulty levels. To help navigate more complex areas, squads can take advantage of familiar legacy features, such as Perks, the mystery box, pack-a-punch, and Field Upgrades. In order to purchase said aids, players need Essence, and completing contracts is one of the best ways to earn it fast. Every Modern Warfare 3 Zombies contract There are eight different contracts in MW3 Zombies. Here is a complete list of how to complete each one and how to find them. Eliminate The Bounty: Marked on the map as a blue crosshair, squads take down a nearby boss. The foe’s health and damage depend on which zone you are in. – Raid Weapon Stash: Marked on the map as a small pistol icon, the mission starts by going to a location and drilling into a safe. After beginning the drill process, zombies and mercenaries attack. Once the drilling is done, players can loot the safe for rewards. – Aether Extraction: Marked on the map as a blue rocket icon, players disarm three rockets around the surrounding area to complete this contract. Mercenaries and zombies guard each rocket, and a timer adds some pressure to the process. – Deliver Cargo: Marked on the map as a stopwatch icon, squads find a car and deliver the cargo to a nearby location. Be careful, as an enemy helicopter may spoil the party. – Defend Ground Station: Marked on the MW3 Zombies map as a blue skull wearing a beret, squads activate three seismic refractors. After that, players must go to a computer and upload all the information on a server. This triggers mercenaries and zombies to swarm the area, and the mission ends after protecting the computer from waves of enemies. – Spore Control: Marked on the map as a little egg icon, players must pick up inhibitors marked on the map. From there, squads must throw the inhibitors near the spores and eventually destroy the egg. – Outlast: Marked on the map as a blue satellite icon, squads start the PND. Once booted up, the area becomes corrupted, and the mission requires teams to defend the site from waves of enemies until it reaches 100%. – Escort: Marked on the MW3 zombies map as a little blue tank icon, Squads must go to the marked ACV and start it. From there, you can climb atop the ACV and mow down zombies until the vehicle reaches its destination. – MW3 Zombies contract rewards Some contracts offer different rewards, but most commonly, squads earn a random perk and Essence. However, the Raid Weapon Stash contract offers high-end weapons as a reward, so it’s a mission to remember if you need an upgrade to your arsenal. That’s everything we know about contracts in Zombies. For more, check out the rest of our MW3 coverage.

All Call of Duty League franchise teams and owners – Dexerto
All Call of Duty League franchise teams and owners Call of Duty LeagueThe 2022 Call of Duty League season is upon us and, with some major changes to the franchised league following the 2021 Cold War season, here are all the CDL team franchises and their organization group owners. For years, Call of Duty was an open circuit, with any team eligible to compete in the major tournaments held across the world. In 2020, that all changed, as CoD moved to a franchised league format, with only teams who have purchased a city-based spot able to compete in the professional league. 12 franchises joined the league and, now in its third season, rumors continue to run rampant about the possibility of expansion teams in the future. Activision sold spots priced at around $25 million apiece, but, with franchises having been bought and sold over recent years, there’s some serious backing with huge amounts of money involved. Here are all the teams in the league and the ownership group behind them. All CDL team owners Atlanta FaZe (Atlanta Esports Ventures) Roster: Arcitys, Simp, aBeZy, Cellium American media company Cox Enterprises, which operates the Cox Communications media network which includes television and radio stations, newspapers, and advertising sales rep firms are the driving force in bringing Call of Duty to Atlanta, Georgia. Not only that but they teamed up with the world-renowned FaZe Clan to do it. Read More: CDL 2022 season: Standings & event schedule – This isn’t Atlanta Esports Ventures’ first foray into the world of competitive gaming, as they already operate the Atlanta Reign Overwatch League franchise. New York Subliners (Sterling VC / NYXL) Roster: Crimsix, Clayster, HyDra and Neptune Following their success in the Overwatch League with sister team NYXL, Sterling Equities, which includes the owners of the New York Mets baseball franchise, signed on to bring Call of Duty to New York City from 2020 onwards. They’ve seen relative success since, but with this 2022 roster of proven champions and standout young guns, they’ll be aiming for a world championship. Toronto Ultra (OverActive Media) Roster: Bance, Cammy, CleanX, Insight Toronto is a Call of Duty franchise with strong links to the esport, with OverActive Media acting as the parent company for what was known to CoD fans as Splyce. The organization also owns MAD Lions, who operate in CS:GO and League of Legends, as well as OWL franchise Toronto Defiant. Paris Legion (c0ntact Gaming) Roster: Felo, Decemate, Temp, John Paris Legion is one of just two European franchises in the CoD League. The franchise was purchased by c0ntact Gaming LLC, who also operate the Overwatch League’s Paris Eternal. c0ntact briefly had a CS:GO team in 2019 and 2020, but after lackluster results, they disbanded. They now operate only in Activision Blizzard’s franchised leagues. OpTic Texas (Team Envy) Roster: Shotzzy, iLLey, Scump, Dashy Perhaps the most historically-linked CDL franchise, the Texas entry into the competition is owned by Team Envy and operated by OpTic Gaming, following their merger in 2021. Both Envy and OpTic are former Call of Duty world champions. Envy won in 2016, followed up by an OpTic win in 2017. Envy then won the 2020 Call of Duty Championship as the Dallas Empire — the name of the team before the merger with OpTic Chicago (formerly Chicago Huntsmen). Florida Mutineers (Misfits Gaming) Roster: Owakening, Skyz, Vivid, Davpadie Misfits Gaming, who own the Florida Mayhem OWL franchise, were another new entry to the realm of Call of Duty, but are certainly no strangers to esports. The team also owns a franchise in League of Legends’ LEC competition. Minnesota RØKKR (WISE Ventures) Roster: Standy, Attach, MajorManiak, Priestahh Minnesota RØKKR were one of the first franchises to be announced, with WISE Ventures bringing Call of Duty to the icy north. RØKKR is operated by WISE’s esports org Version1, which also runs teams in Rocket League and Riot Games’ hit FPS Valorant. Read More: Call of Duty League 2022 power rankings – WISE Ventures is led by the Wilf family, who also own and operate the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL, alongside entrepreneur and YouTube personality Gary Vaynerchuk. LA Guerrillas (Kroenke Sports & Entertainment) Roster: Huke, SlasheR, Asim, Gunless Los Angeles’ second spot belongs to Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, who already operated the LA Gladiators in the Overwatch League. The company also owns a huge number of sports teams, including the Premier League’s Arsenal FC, the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, NBA’s Denver Nuggets, and both Colorado’s NHL and MLS teams. LA Thieves (100 Thieves) Roster: Octane, Kenny, Drazah, Envoy The first of two L.A. franchises, 100 Thieves joined the CoD League for the 2021 season, buying the spot vacated by Immortals Gaming Club’s OpTic Gaming Los Angeles, after they purchased the brand prior to the 2020 season. The spot was purchased by OpTic owner Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez as a means of getting the OpTic brand back and selling the vacated Los Angeles spot, which was then bought by Nadeshot and co. London Royal Ravens (ReKTGlobal) Roster: Zer0, Nastie, Gismo, Afro The second European team to join the Call of Duty League, the London Royal Ravens is owned and operated by esports powerhouse ReKTGlobal. ReKT also operates the Rogue organization, which houses teams in League of Legends’ LEC, Rocket League, and Rainbow Six Siege. Seattle Surge (Enthusiast Gaming) Roster: Accuracy, Mack, Sib, Pred Seattle Surge is an operation run by Enthusiast Gaming, which is yet another huge esports powerhouse that covers multiple avenues in the industry. Read More: Reverse Sweep returns for CDL 2022 season – Enthusiast runs Luminosity Gaming, which will be a familiar name to Call of Duty fans, who still have teams in Valorant, Fortnite, Madden, and more. They also own the OWL side Vancouver Titans. Boston Breach (Kraft Sports Group) Roster: Methodz, TJHaly, Capsidal, Nero The newest franchise in the Call of Duty League, the Boston Breach filled the spot vacated by Chicago Huntsmen, which saw NRG leave the CDL after a whirlwind couple of years. The team is owned by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s Kraft Sports Group, and operated by esports organization Oxygen Esports.

All CoD Zombies weapon buffs & nerfs in Black Ops Cold War Season 4 Reloaded update ActivisionCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Season 4 Reloaded update included some weapon buffs and nerfs to help shake things up in the Zombies. Here’s a quick breakdown of all the changes. Black Ops Cold War’s Season 4 Reloaded update introduced many new things, including a wealth of changes to weapons in Zombies. Not only did it add the highly anticipated Mauer der Toten map, a new Wonder Weapon, and the return of the Mule Kick perk, but it also included some weapon buffs and nerfs. Let’s take a look at all the key Call of Duty Zombies changes. Pack-A-Punch Melee Weapons buffed Melee Weapons have been given a significant buff, but only when they’ve been pack-a-punched. More specifically, the base damage of a pack-a-punched melee weapon has been increased from 2000 to 2500, while the Level 3 damage multiplier has been increased from 4 to 5. It doesn’t sound like much, but it means the base damage is 25% stronger and multiplied by an extra digit when Pack-a-Punch Level 3 is applied, which is insane. You’ll be hacking and slashing your way through Zombies in no time. Swiss K31, ZRG 20mm buffed Sniper Rifles have been falling short of the mark in Zombies for a while now. So, to make them more viable, Activision buffed the Swiss K31 and ZRG20mm by increasing their critical damage multiplier from 3.5 to 4.5 and increasing their ammo capacity.

It’s a welcome change since these weapons were widely considered to be the worst guns in the mode. But these buffs should be a decent improvement. But that’s not all the weapon changes included in the patch. Sniper Rifle Charlie, the Pelington 703, and the LW3 – Tundra were also buffed. Here’s a list of all the changes included in the official patch notes.

All CoD Vanguard Operators: Skins, bundles, prices, more – Dexerto
All CoD Vanguard Operators: Skins, bundles, prices, more ActivisionNo different from Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War before it, CoD Vanguard features an ever-growing list of Operators for you to use across both multiplayer and Warzone. Here’s a complete rundown of every confirmed Operator along with all there is to know about them. Operators are the lifeblood of online Call of Duty these days. No matter what mode you’re playing across either regular multiplayer or in Warzone, you’re always loading into a map as a specific character. Everyone starts out with a default set of Operators but more can be unlocked in a number of different ways. From in-game challenges to premium bundles, there’s always a new way to acquire certain characters. To keep track of everything in Activision’s latest titles, here’s a complete overview of every CoD Vanguard Operator and all there is to know about them. All CoD Vanguard Operators confirmed for launch Hellhounds Lieutenant First Class Wade Jackson Wade Jackson is another character central to Vanguard’s narrative. As an American pilot based on Vernon Mike Micheel, Jackson is known for his accuracy in the skies. This Operator will be available on launch day across Vanguard’s multiplayer modes. Jackson is also one of the first Operators in Vanguard with his own unique skin. Just by purchasing the Ultimate Edition and acquiring the Task Force One Pack, players will be able to swap skins for this particular Operator. Daniel Take Yatsu Yatsu is another character set to feature prominently in the Vanguard storyline. This Operator made his debut in his very own intro trailer on October 26. Guaranteed to be a day one Operator, Yatsu will be accessible right away in Vanguard’s multiplayer modes. Halima Zambardi Little is known about this Operator for the time being, but we do know for certain the Italian Somalian character will be available on day one. She features as part of the Hellhounds Task Force alongside Daniel Yatsu and Wade Jackson. Sentinel Sergeant Arthur Kingsley Kicking things off in the Vanguard-era of CoD is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley. As one of the first characters revealed for the 2021 release, Kingsley was the first Vanguard Operator made available. In fact, this Operator even launched ahead of Vanguard’s release date. Players were able to grab the Kingsley Operator across Warzone, Cold War, and CoD Mobile from September onwards. This character will also be instantly accessible on day one with Vanguard. As a protagonist in the campaign, Kingsley helps lead the Special Forces Squad as a British Paratrooper. The Operator is based on Sergeant Sidney Cornell. Padmavati Balan Also revealed alongside Yatsu, Padmavati Balan is a natural leader that makes her presence known in the Vanguard campaign. Players will be able to drop into Vanguard’s multiplayer modes with the Balan Operator skin from launch day on November 5. Constanze Trude Muller Details on Trude Muller are scarce ahead of launch, though we know this character has defected from the German military. Barbarian Private Lucas Riggs Next is Australian Operator Lucas Riggs. This character first appeared as a playable Operator in the CoD Vanguard Beta. Riggs will likely be available on day one in Vanguard, potentially through in-game challenges or simply just unlocked by default when levelling up in multiplayer. We’ll update you here as soon as we know how to unlock the Riggs Operator. Riggs is one of the first three Operators in Vanguard to receive a unique skin. For those who purchase the Ultimate Edition, the Task Force One Pack comes with a unique Operator Skin to equip for Lucas. Roland Zeimet Roland Zeimet is another Axis Defector that has his goals set on taking down the German forces. While little is known about this character for now, we’re sure to learn plenty about him in the weeks to come. Beatrice Mercier Mercier is a French resistance fighter in CoD Vanguard. Though we haven’t properly met this character yet, she doesn’t seem afraid of a fight based on our first look. Shadow Lieutenant Polina Petrova Polina Petrova is another Operator from Vanguard’s campaign that will be accessible on day one. After a brief glimpse at the character in the Beta, players will be able to stick with Petrova moving forward across multiplayer modes. As an expert sniper, Petrova is one of the more formidable foes on any map. Based on Lyudmila Pavlichenko, this figure built a reputation as “Lady Death” for having one of the sharpest shots in WWII. Read More: CoD Vanguard & Warzone anti-cheat revealed – Petrova is also one of just three launch day Operators in Vanguard with her own unique skin variant. Accessed through the Ultimate Edition, the Task Force One Pack comes with a special Operator Skin just for Petrova. Shigenori Ota Ota is a defector from the Japanese Navy. While we don’t yet know how this character aligns with the Shadow Task Force, he appears ready to help the cause in taking down Axis forces. Solange Hardewijk Hardewijk is a Dutch Aruban Agent in CoD Vanguard. As you might expect based on her role, little is known about this secretive Operator for the time being. Additional CoD Vanguard Operators Sergeant Richard Webb Richard Webb drops into Vanguard’s storyline as the right-hand man for Arthur Kingsley. These two are considered close friends but have their own approach to leadership in the heat of battle. Webb will also be accessible as a multiplayer Operator at launch in Vanguard. All CoD Vanguard Operators in Season 1 It’s still early days yet so there’s no telling which Operators might be featured in Vanguard’s Season 1 update. As per usual with new seasons in CoD, it’s fair to expect a small handful of new Operators in the latest Battle Pass. Most will likely be unlocked early into the Battle Pass with additional Operator Skins and variants unlocked later in the Battle Pass. We’ll be sure to keep you updated with all the latest Vanguard Operators right here as new details emerge. CoD Vanguard Operator Bundles Just days out from Vanguard’s release, only one Operator Bundle has been confirmed. The Task Force One Pack comes with three unique Operator skins for Riggs, Petrova, and Jackson. Each comes with its own original design fit for a distinct theater of war. Currently, the only way to access the Task Force One Pack is by purchasing the Ultimate Edition of Cod Vanguard. There’s no telling if this bundle will be available to purchase separately down the line.

All CoD Mobile World Championship 2020 winners: final results – Dexerto
All CoD Mobile World Championship 2020 winners: final results ActivisionThe Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2020 regional finals have wrapped up as all eight champions have now been crowned. We’ve got you covered with a complete rundown on the results from each region. [jwplayer KfbNyXWJ] After millions of players competed in CoD Mobile’s early qualification stages for the chance at earning a spot in the World Championship, only the top eight teams were left standing in each region. The final stage of the CoD Mobile’s Champs regional finals saw teams battling it out in eight different regions to determine the best of the best. Only one squad from every location could walk away as the winner and punch their ticket to the $750K global finals prior to its cancellation. Instead, all teams will simply be handed an even split of that prize money. When were the CoD Mobile World Championship regional finals? CoD Mobile’s 2020 regional playoffs were held across eight separate regions. It all started with the Korean finals on August 7 as other regions followed weeks later. While some kicked off well ahead of others, it all came to a close with the NA finals on October 25. Below is a full list of dates for when each region crowned its overall champions. South Korea: Aug 7 – Aug 8 – Vietnam: Sept 4 – Sept 6 – Japan: Sept 26 – Sept 27 – Latin America: Sept 26 – Sept 27 – Eastern Europe & Asia: Sept 26 – Sept 27 – Garena: Sept 28 – Oct 4 – Western Europe: Oct 17 – Oct 18 – North America: Oct 24 – Oct 25 – https://twitter.com/PlayCODMobile/status/1306019970413862912 How to rewatch CoD Mobile Champs 2020 All of the matches will be broadcasted on CoD Mobile’s official YouTube channel, although it is worth noting that there were also native streams for the Japan and Latin America Playoffs. Players were also able to earn in-game rewards by simply watching the final stages of the 2020 World Championship through the CoD Mobile app on the selected dates. CoD Mobile Champs 2020 North America results (Top 8) CoD Mobile Champs 2020 Western Europe results (Top 8) CoD Mobile Champs 2020 Latin America results (Top 8) CoD Mobile Champs 2020 Eastern Europe & Asia results (Top 8) CoD Mobile Champs 2020 Japan results (Top 5) CoD Mobile Champs 2020 Garena results (Top 6) CoD Mobile Champs 2020 South Korea results (Top 8) CoD Mobile Champs 2020 Vietnam results (Top 8) CoD Mobile Champs 2020 Prize Pool When announcing the 2020 CoD Mobile World Championship, Activision revealed that they would also be offering $1 million dollars in prizing spread across each stage of the event. While a chunk of the prize pool had already been given away during the qualification stage, there was still plenty for the final teams to compete for. All eight regions had a unique prize pool but the global finals were supposed to be for the real lion’s share. $750,000 was meant to be on offer as the eight winning teams did battle at an undisclosed date. However, before we could get to these global finals, CoD Mobile’s developers called things off. Due to the ongoing global crisis, it simply wasn’t feasible to host such an event. As a result, all eight regional champs will be handed an even split of the prize pool.

All classic CoD maps found so far in leaked Modern Warfare battle royale – Dexerto
All classic CoD maps found so far in leaked Modern Warfare battle royale Infinity Ward; Reddit – peeksqueakxDWith all of the rumors continuing to churn about a possible battle royale mode coming to Modern Warfare, we’ve compiled a list of all the classic Call of Duty maps that are said to be included in BR. There has been plenty of recent speculation surrounding Modern Warfare battle royale ever since a massive leak surfaced several months ago sharing details about the unreleased mode. The supposed BR map will apparently be massive enough to support 200 players and feature some of the most well-known maps from past Modern Warfare titles as individual locations. In the months that have followed the initial leak, players have been able to find some of those maps in other parts of the game, such as the co-op Spec Ops mode. While some have argued that the presence of these iconic CoD locations in Spec Ops isn’t proof that a battle royale is indeed in the works, others believe that Infinity Ward wouldn’t have gone to all the trouble to develop a such a massive continuous map just for some co-op missions. Either way, no one knows for sure if the mode is coming or not, but it’s nevertheless worth looking at all of the BR-tied locations that have been found in-game. Reddit user ‘WW2er‘ compiled a full list, which we’ve summarized for you below. Well-known Call of Duty maps that could be in the battle royale Overgrown In the original battle royale leak, there was a location on the map that was labeled Overgrown, which obviously brings to mind the iconic map from the original CoD 4: Modern Warfare game. The video above shows the well-known Grandma’s House location from Overgrown in Spec Ops, so there’s a good chance this is how it would look in the BR. There’s also a chance that the battle royale version could feature more of the map than what this co-op mission includes. Killhouse Killhouse was one of the smallest maps in CoD 4 and a replica of it was spotted “kind of in the middle of nowhere” in Modern Warfare Spec-Ops’s Operation: Kuvalda. Not only has it been connected to the battle royale as a possible location, but it could be added as a map in multiplayer as well, seeing as how it’s already pretty-fully developed. Broadcast Also a map from the original Modern Warfare, Broadcast was spotted in the outer boundaries of Operation: Harbinger in Spec Ops. The Reddit user explained that this was the best look of it he could get since it doesn’t render fully because of how far out of the way it is. Vacant Easily one of the most recognizable maps in Call of Duty history, Vacant has been ever-present in Modern Warfare since being added as part of Season 1 in December. In fact, it’s the only map linked with the battle royale so far that was added to multiplayer. Interestingly enough, it’s also where the C Flag is located in the Port of Verdansk Ground War map. Scrapyard The Spec Ops mission Operation: Crosswind features a replica from Scrapyard, a small multiplayer map from Modern Warfare 2 (2009). According to leaks, Scrapyard will take up a part of a location called Boneyard in the battle royale, and it’s also apparently rumored to be the new Ground War map that will be introduced in the upcoming Season 2. Terminal This is the only map on this list that’s purely based off of rumors and hasn’t actually been spotted in any of the Spec Ops missions or anywhere else. However, considering that it’s arguably the most iconic map from Modern Warfare 2, it’s probably worth mentioning that there are rumors Terminal will be inside Layover, one of the leaked locations from the battle royale. Furthermore, seeing as how popular it is, some believe that Infinity Ward plan on developing and adding this map to the regular multiplayer at some point, which would very likely be a popular decision as far as the player-base is concerned. Read More: M4 and MP5 nerfed in MW update – patch notes – There you have it, all of the classic Call of Duty maps that have been leaked or connected with the supposedly upcoming battle royale mode that are also located in Modern Warfare in some shape or form, mostly as locations in Spec Ops. It’s important to remember that all of this is purely based off of speculation and unverified leaks and nothing should be considered set in stone until Infinity Ward and/or Activision make any official announcements.

All classic CoD map remakes in Warzone 2’s Al Mazrah map & where to find them – Dexerto
All classic CoD map remakes in Warzone 2’s Al Mazrah map & where to find them ActivisionWarzone 2’s Al Mazrah map brings together a wide range of classic CoD locations for the revamped Battle Royale experience. With some from earlier Modern Warfare titles and others dating much further back, here’s a full look at every throwback in the game today. Since Warzone’s debut in 2020 with Verdansk, devs have often looked to incorporate iconic maps from previous entries in the series. That trend has been expanded on in Warzone 2 as Al Mazrah takes the nostalgia factor to a different level with an assortment of classic locales scattered throughout. Some may jump out right away with their obvious layouts and unforgettable designs. However, others can blend more seamlessly into the environment, making you skip past them altogether. So if you’re curious just which classic CoD maps have been included in Warzone 2, look no further as we’ve got you covered right here. Classic CoD maps in Al Mazrah Afghan Kicking things off, we have Afghan from the original Modern Warfare 2. While the classic trickshotting plane is absent, the core layout is intact at the Sattiq Cave Complex POI. Dome Sticking out at the Zaya Observatory POI is a remake of Modern Warfare 3’s Dome map. This extremely small location features near the center of Al Mazrah. Highrise In the heart of Al Mazrah City is none other than Highrise from the original Modern Warfare 2. Although the iconic crane is no longer here, this particular rooftop carries across an otherwise identical layout to the classic map. Neuville Near the very top of Al Mazrah, you’ll find a subtle remake of Neuville from the very first CoD title. As the 15th map in CoD history, there’s some prestige to this layout and you can find it at the Taraq Village POI. Quarry Quarry from the original Modern Warfare 2 also features in Warzone 2. Though it’s a little different from how you might remember it. While the classic layout makes a return, lower parts of the map are now drenched with water, meaning you’ll have to swim to get across. As the name implies, this remake can be found at the Al Safwa Quarry POI. Shipment Shipment has appeared in a number of CoD titles over the years and now, it makes its BR debut to the east of the Hafid Port POI in Al Mazrah. Showdown If you’re a CoD veteran, you’ll remember Showdown from the original Modern Warfare release. This popular multiplayer map has been revitalized in Warzone 2 near the Ahkdar Village POI. Storm Having first appeared in the original Modern Warfare 2, Storm is now back in Al Mazrah. The enormous warehouse appearing on the eastern side of the Al Bagra Fortress POI. Terminal No one could ever forget Terminal and now, the iconic Modern Warfare 2 map is back to ensure another generation experiences its charm. This classic map can be found at the Al Malik Airport POI. While that’s every throwback we’ve spotted in Warzone 2 thus far, we’ll be sure to update you here as we come across more nostalgic spots in Al Mazrah.

All CDL 2022 rosters: Confirmed teams, leaks, and predictions – Dexerto
All CDL 2022 rosters: Confirmed teams, leaks, and predictions Call of Duty LeagueAll eyes are now on the CDL’s 2022 season and the offseason is already well underway. We have you covered with all the leaks and predictions coming out of the league, as well as any confirmed roster moves. The CDL offseason is firmly upon is and it is expected to be monumental. Entire rosters have been dropped, icons of the game are free agents, and some teams may not even exist in their current format come next season. Here, we take a look at the confirmed rosters and biggest leaks coming out of the CDL. For a full list of official roster moves, check Dexerto’s Rostermania tracker. Confirmed 2022 CDL rosters As the off-season continues, expect the confirmed rosters to be filled out. For now, teams are still forming, so check out each team below for their expected lineups based on leaks and rumors so far. CDL 2022 roster leaks & predictions Note: All of these are speculative and not yet confirmed. Atlanta FaZe roster Predicted roster: Arcitys – aBeZy – Simp – Cellium – There is no reason to expect FaZe to make many, if any, changes as they look to start on the foundations of a dynasty and defend their title in 2022. All four starters are contracted through next year and the only change may come from the bench if the Surge follow through on reported plans to buy out Sib. Chicago OpTic roster In all likelihood, Chicago won’t be Chicago come the 2022 season. With Envy rumored to buy out OpTic and create a Dallas/OpTic superteam, NRG will likely look to sell their league slot, currently held in Chicago. If the merger happens, Dallas will likely take control of OpTic’s remaining roster assets in Scump and Dashy, meaning whatever Chicago becomes could have a brand-new lineup. One possible buyer for the Chicago slot could be RISE Nation, with CEO Rodger Saffold expressing a desire to bring back the org’s famous Call of Duty team during an appearance on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast. Dallas Empire roster Predicted roster: Shotzzy – iLLeY – Scump – Dashy – As mentioned above, Empire are likely to pick up the remains of Chicago’s roster when the rumored buyout of OpTic goes through. This could mean Dallas fields a terrifying team of Shotzzy, iLLeY, Scump, and Dashy in 2022. Florida Mutineers roster Confirmed roster: Skyz – Davpadie/Yeez – Owakening – Havok – London Royal Ravens roster Predicted roster: Afro – Zer0 – Nastie – Gismo – Royal Ravens dropped everyone except SMG Afro on August 29. Zer0 is expected to return after being cut by the team earlier in 2021. Nastie, who has been playing at challenger, is also expected to return to London after being cut in 2020. Nastie’s Atlas Lions teammate Gismo is also believed to be headed to the Royal Ravens.

All Call of Duty Vanguard regional teasers: Pacific, North Africa, Eastern & Western Fronts – Dexerto
All Call of Duty Vanguard regional teasers: Pacific, North Africa, Eastern & Western Fronts ActivisionCall of Duty: Vanguard is set to release in 2021, and fans are continuing to get more details before the Warzone reveal. Content creators have been sent trailers showing off the WWII theme. Now that Season 5 has launched for Cold War and Warzone, people are getting more excited for the reveal of Vanguard, which is reported to be on August 19. It has been rumored that once again Activision will be revealing the next title through Warzone in a playable event. This could be related to the teased “Red Door” one that is coming later this season. For now, the community has been teased by the devs as they are sending these short trailers showing off all the fronts that will be in the game. Call of Duty: Vanguard Teaser – Pacific Front The latest Call of Duty 2021 teaser video just arrived in our inbox 👀 pic.twitter.com/YgBScNUU8G — CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) August 15, 2021 Call of Duty: Vanguard Teaser – North Africa New CoD 2021 teaser sent to Australian content creators 👀 pic.twitter.com/162OFWYhaS — CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) August 15, 2021 Call of Duty: Vanguard Teaser – Eastern Front Newest CoD 2021 teaser sent to Russian content creators 👀 pic.twitter.com/UhcWr8T9Dm — CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) August 14, 2021 Call of Duty: Vanguard Teaser – Western Front Ummm… I just got sent this from @CallofDuty… 👀 “”Western Front”” pic.twitter.com/69eKmpMtQc — Jon (@MrDalekJD) August 13, 2021 What these trailers mean for Vanguard Although there is not much revealed in these short clips, there is a lot to take away. In the Pacific Front teaser, we can see a patch that reads “Task Force Vanguard.” Some players made the connection that this patch is very similar to the one from Task Force 141, which appeared in the Modern Warfare series. In the Western Front tease, you once again see the patch that looks like the Task Force one. Also, players noticed that there’s a sign laying on the ground that reads, “Merville.” Some in the community think that this is relating to the Battle of Merville Gun Battery. This was a battle that took place in France and was a part of the Normandy landings. You can also see a sign that said, “SGT. Kingsley,” which is confusing as it doesn’t match up with any of the rumored characters so far. In the Eastern Front, we learn a little about Polina, the redhead sniper that now appears in a cut scene after Warzone wins. For now, the community eagerly waits to see when more details will be revealed. You can stay updated by visiting our CoD Vanguard page for any new information.

All Call of Duty: Vanguard Field Upgrades & Killstreaks leaked – Dexerto
All Call of Duty: Vanguard Field Upgrades & Killstreaks leaked ActivisionCall of Duty Vanguard’s Killstreaks & Field upgrades have been leaked ahead of the title’s release, it’s safe to there are going to be plenty of options for players. With Call of Duty: Vanguard set to release on November 5, the FPS community is already counting down the days before the highly-anticipated launch. While an open-beta gave the community a chance to try the game in mid-September, a lot of the title’s features still remain under wraps. Despite being able to test Vanguard’s arsenal of weapons, some of the game’s Field Upgrades & Killstreaks were unavailable in the beta. Luckily, a leak has showcased all of them and although none of these have been confirmed by the devs, it gives players a good indication of what to expect. What are the Killstreaks & Field Upgrades in Vanguard? While weapons will always be the primary focus in a Call of Duty title, Killstreaks & Field Upgrades are essential features that allow players to take the upper hand in multiplayer. Luckily, a leak was posted to the CODVanguard subreddit by viperwolf306 showcasing all these customizable features & upgrades. It’s key to take this information with a pinch of salt, as the image shows mainly shows symbols, so the list provided in the thread is based on beta gameplay and speculation. Killstreaks 3 Kills – Personal Radar – 3 Kills – Death Machine – 4 Kills – Care Package – 4 Kills – Counter Spy Plane – 4 Kills – Spy Plane – 5 Kills – Glide Bomb – 5 Kills – Attack Dog – 5 Kills – Mortar Barrage – 6 Kills – Fighter Pilot – 6 Kills – War Machine – 8 Kills – Emergency Airdrop – 9 Kills – Flamenaut – 10 Kills – Carpet Bombing Run – 10 Kills – Attack Dogs – 12 Kills – Ball Turret Gunner – 12 Kills – Advanced Spy Plane – 14 Kills – V1 Rocket – This breakdown was courtesy of hutty316, who analyzed all the symbols and labeled out exactly which killstreaks will be available. Keep in mind, none of this has been confirmed and a few of them may be missing from the list. Field Upgrades Ammo Box – Tac Insertion – A type of knife (Potentially a whistle for a dog) – Armor – Goliath – Field Mic – Dead Silence – Deployable Cover – The list above is courtesy of viperwolf306 themselves, speculating on what each of the symbols could be when it comes to Field Upgrades. This makes a lot of sense and contains a variety of familiar upgrades including armor, an ammo box, and of course Dead Silence. So, there you have it, that’s all of the Field Upgrades and Killstreaks we can expect to see in Call of Duty: Vanguard. As the leak mainly showcases symbols, both lists are based on speculation so remember to take them with a pinch of salt, as it’s likely we’ll have the confirmed features very soon.

All Call of Duty: Modern Warfare killstreaks reportedly leaked – Dexerto
All Call of Duty: Modern Warfare killstreaks reportedly leaked Infinity WardA leaker has claimed that they have the full list of killstreaks for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and stated that the game features multiplayer maps which are pitch black. YouTuber TheGamingRevolution previously leaked a bunch of information regarding Call of Duty titles in the past, including huge dumps for the franchise’s Zombies mode in both Black Ops 3 and Black Ops 4. Now, the content creator has turned his attention to the highly-anticipated Modern Warfare, and made two very interesting claims in regards to what we can expect from multiplayer when it launches. Modern Warfare scorestreaks allegedly leaked According to TheGamingRevolution, Modern Warfare will come with 17 total killstreaks, and stressed that these would be awarded based on kills, not on points earned like scorestreaks in more recent CoD games. The game will allegedly see the return of some of MW2’s most popular killstreaks, such as the Pavelow and AC-130, and will also bring back the Nuke, which will end the game when a player goes on an incredible 25 kill streak. The full list of Modern Warfare killstreaks reported by TheGamingRevolution are: Personal UAV – Shielded Turret – Care Package – Scrambler Drone – Clusterstrike – Cruise missile (sounds similar to predator) – UAV (for the whole team) – Precision Airstrike – Wilson (small remote tank) – Chopper Gunner – Advanced UAV – White Phosphorus (chemical strike) – VTOL (fighter jet that hovers over map) – Juggernaut – Pavelow – AC-130 – Nuke (25 kills, will be game ending at the moment) – Modern Warfare to feature “pitch black” multiplayer maps? The YouTuber also claims that the game’s multiplayer mode will play host to a number of maps set in the dark of night, which will require players to use night vision goggles to see where they are going as they try to take down their opponents. He states that players are unable to aim down their weapons sights with the goggles activated, and will instead use a laser sight to provide accuracy while firing the weapon, and claimed on Twitter than “maps with night variants will play completely different to their regular versions, and different from any other prior CoD.” You cannot aim down sight with night vision goggles on or use your guns scope, instead you’ll just get a laser sight. This means that the maps with night variants will play completely different to their regular versions and different to any other prior COD https://t.co/4n3btV5bls — TheGamingRevolution (@TheGamingRevoYT) July 2, 2019 A number of apparent leaks have already been released for Modern Warfare, claiming that the game’s multiplayer will see significant changes from previous years, with Specialists scrapped, a change to the microtransaction model, and cross-platform play which was later confirmed by Infinity Ward. As with any leaks, there is no way to definitively confirm the accuracy of them, so all information should be taken with a pinch of salt unless it is provided by Activision or Infinity Ward themselves. Fans will likely have to wait until the multiplayer reveal for confirmation on these leaks, with no official date set for the event at the time of writing.

All Call of Duty Champions with multiple rings Call of Duty LeagueWith the conclusion of the 2024 Call of Duty League Championship, OpTic Texas has emerged victorious, claiming the prestigious trophy.

Over the years, these rings symbolize victory and the dedication, skill, and relentless drive of the players who earn them. Here is the official list of all players in the history of Call of Duty who have earned more than one ring in their career.

All Caldera map changes in Warzone Season 5: Classic Gulag returns, Peak erupts, more – Dexerto
All Caldera map changes in Warzone Season 5: Classic Gulag returns, Peak erupts, more ActivisionWith the final season of the Warzone Pacific era comes one final round of changes to Caldera. From the long-awaited eruption of Peak to a return of the classic Gulag layout, here’s a full rundown on every map change coming in the Warzone Season 5 update. Eight months after it began, Warzone’s time in the Pacific is now beginning to wind down. Labeled the ‘Last Stand,’ Season 5 is set to conclude the current chapter of the CoD BR before Activision shifts focus to Warzone 2. As this is the final season, devs are looking to make a lasting impact through a number of key map changes across Caldera. While the map has certainly been through its fair share of highs and lows, the changes locked in for Season 5 should help send it off in style. So before Warzone Season 5 gets underway, here’s a look ahead at every Caldera map change on the horizon. Classic Warzone Gulag returns with a twist in Season 5 Up first for the Season 5 update is yet another Gulag refresh. This time around, however, the 1v1 arena should feel somewhat familiar. While it’s brand new in design, this Gulag’s layout is described as a “love letter to the original.” With a near-symmetrical approach, the Season 5 Gulag is reminiscent of the Showers map that originally featured in Verdansk. Some slight adjustments have been made to the center to change the flow of combat, and obviously, the theme is vastly different, but at its core, this Gulag should feel extremely similar to that of the original layout. Peak finally erupts Almost immediately after Caldera came into focus, players began theorizing how the map would look if Peak evolved over time. If the volcano was to erupt, how would it change the map and could it actually improve the flow of core BR playlists? Well, devs are finally ready to answer those questions. With the launch of Season 5 comes the eruption of the volcano. Now, the POI is set to be radically altered with lava flowing downstream and new pathways created in wake of the destruction. Giving new meaning to a ‘hot drop,’ Peak is sure to be even more popular early into Season 5 as players acclimate. So be on your toes when dropping in as the last thing anyone wants is to fall in a pit of lava. Clear skies over Caldera Last but not least for the known map changes heading into Season 5, devs have confirmed that the storm previously hanging over Caldera has cleared up. As a result, the map is sure to be brighter than ever, let’s just hope it’s not too bright. That’s all we know ahead of Caldera’s final overhaul in the Season 5 update. As we’re still a few days out though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted here should any further map changes be announced.

All Caldera map changes in Warzone Season 3 Classified Arms update – Dexerto
All Caldera map changes in Warzone Season 3 Classified Arms update ActivisionRaven Software are set to introduce huge changes to Warzone Pacific’s Caldera map once the Season 3 update drops, and we’re taking a look at everything that’s been revealed. Warzone Season 3: Classified Arms is set to bring long-awaited changes to places like Peak, Runway, and Lagoon while introducing a brand new POI with the aptly named the Monarch Dig Site, featuring an unearthed Serpentine creature skeleton. The devs are looking to shake up the Warzone gameplay with a new Gulag in the form of off-island POI, Hold, while making alterations to areas of the map that has long been a point of concern with players. Warzone Season 3 map changes Peak After months of waiting, Raven finally revealed how it would change Caldera’s Peak, a controversial POI that has been at the top of Warzone players’ wishlist for updating. The point of interest has now been ‘completed’ with fully built buildings brandishing the top-most point on Caldera. This will lend itself to new vertical gameplay inside and out of the structures. Read more: When is Warzone’s Godzilla vs Kong event? – Meanwhile, there should be more Supply Boxes and Contracts for teams to find, making it a better locale for teams to start off their matches. Lagoon A new route near Lagoon will get added as a part of the Warzone Season 3 changes. Players will still be able to rotate through the Lighthouse bridge to the rest of Caldera, but now will have an alternative path to strategize around. These new areas are large enough for vehicles to travel through and should open up the POI for more action in Classified Arms. Runway Runway is getting spruced up in Season 3 with rebuilt barracks and hangers to give the POI a general uplift. The devs are also implementing new routes to rotate from, opening up the area’s tactical use and giving people more options to use the POI. New Gulag: Hold Warzone’s new 1v1 arena will be an off-shore keep called Hold. The Caldera underground will no longer house the battle royale’s famed Gulag. Now players will decide who spawns back onto the island with a “roughly symmetrical” arena inside a grounded ship. New POI: Monarch Dig Site Warzone Season 3 is bringing the new POI, Dig Site, that will be a new place for players to find Contracts with plenty of opportunities to loot nearby. The star of the Dig Site is the serpentine skeleton in the middle with a huge bucket-wheel excavator next to it. The POI is located between the Mine and the Ruins, which should get more traction after the update. With a ton of changes coming to Vanguard and Warzone, Season 3 is looking to implement massive gameplay improvements as well as giving players something new to explore. Warzone Classified Arms will launch on April 27 with Operation Monarch set to land in the battle royale on May 11.

All Caldera map changes in Warzone Pacific Season 4: Storage Town, new drought, more – Dexerto
All Caldera map changes in Warzone Pacific Season 4: Storage Town, new drought, more ActivisionSix months since its arrival, Caldera is now in store for its biggest shakeup yet as the Warzone Pacific Season 4 update is set to not only restore classic POIs, but also tweak over a dozen existing locales. Here’s a full rundown of every map change on the way. While Caldera has been the subject of some gradual tune-ups in recent months, developers are finally going all-out with widespread changes now confirmed for the Season 4 patch. From classic Verdansk POIs making their mark on the island, to a drought clearing up a vast majority of water on the map, there’s plenty changing across Caldera in the game’s next major update. So before you drop in, be sure to brush up on every map change coming as part of Season 4 with our breakdown below. Storage Town jumps from Verdansk to Caldera Headlining the list of changes in Season 4 is the surprise return of Storage Town. Once a popular drop spot in Verdansk, this iconic layout will soon be found in Caldera. Located between Mines, Airfield, Village, and Dig Site, the location remains almost identical to how experienced players remember it in its original appearance. Though that’s not to say everything is just as it once was. Given its placement on the map, neighboring POIs will find new vantage points to look over Storage Town, making for an easier rotation compared to its previous spot in Verdansk. Expect this to be one of the most active locations in Caldera throughout Season 4. Existing POI changes across Caldera Alongside the returning Storage Town, much of Caldera’s existing landscape is also set to change in Season 4. First and foremost, players will be delighted to hear that visibility is drastically improving with the removal of a vast majority of foliage on the island. This means it’ll be easier to spot enemies from a distance, avoid being gunned down by unseen foes, and generally make rotations less of a hassle. Moreover, Caldera’s underground bunkers containing high-tier loot now have an extra step involved. Rather than simply waltzing in like usual, players will now have to find a rare Key Card in order to access one of the seven bunkers. Beyond those general tweaks, a range of specific POI changes have also been announced for the Season 4 update. Here’s what you can expect. Capital New bridges connect various rooftops throughout the Capital POI, allowing for quick transitions, rather than having to drop down and climb back up. Dig Site When this POI arrived last season, enormous skeletons were littered across the zone. Thanks to a “successful excavation”, they’re now gone, leading to a more open area than before. Arsenal What once was an enormous gap and effectively a death trap in Arsenal now hosts a new ship containing a wealth of loot. Peak Following on from upgrades in Season 3, Peak is in line for a few minor tweaks in the form of a few new staircases for easier traversal. Additionally, players will now find an all-new industrial area just below Peak, making for a great alternative to the hot drop spot. Gondola Station Here you’ll find not only a new incline path to help with traversal, but also a few military tents with bonus loot. Rivers drying up across Docks, Fields, Radio Station, Factory, and Village As a result of a drought across Caldera, water surrounding a number of existing POIs is drying up, providing access to a whole new zones. While that’s a full look at every change coming to Caldera at the start of Season 4, there’s still plenty more crammed into the latest patch. Be sure to brush up on all the latest including new weapons, playlists, and even the Fortune’s Keep map.

All Black Ops 6 Zombies Perk-A-Cola machines & how to use them – Dexerto
All Black Ops 6 Zombies Perk-A-Cola machines & how to use them ActivisionBlack Ops 6 will again bring back the beloved Perk-A-Cola vending machines in Zombies, so here is everything you need to know. Black Ops 6 will introduce significant changes to the round-based Zombie experience, be it Augments, a new save feature, and more will be included in the next installment of the Call of Duty franchise. However, the devs have also included many beloved and iconic features that have become synonymous with the Black Ops Zombies experience, including Perk-A-Cola vending machines. With a brand new twist to these Zombies items, Perk-A-Cola upgrades will once again be vital to ensuring you can survive the never-ending waves of Zombies threatening to swarm players at every turn. Thanks to a new official blog post, we can confirm what Perk-A-Cola’s will be returning in BO6 and how they will work in the upcoming entry. All Black Ops 6 Zombies Perk-A-Cola Vending machines Black Ops 6 Zombies will launch with eight different Perk-A-Cola’s. Furthermore, each will also come with six different Augments to further enhance their base abilities (3 Major and 3 Minor). Jugger-Nog: Increase maximum health by 100. – Quick Revive: Reduce the health regen delay time by 50%. Reduce the time it takes to revive an ally by 50%. – Speed Cola: Increase reload and armor replating speed bonus by 30%. – Stamin-Up: Increase movement speed. – PhD Flopper: Immunity to all self-inflicted damage and status effects.

The price of your next one will increase each time you purchase a new Cola. Like previous entries in the franchise, players can expect to lose all their earned Perk-A-Cola if they go down during a game. However, they’ll, of course, have the chance to rebuy them once they have enough Essence. While these machines are typically all scattered across each Zombie map, there will be the chance to find the “infamous Der Wunderfizz Machine, offering all available Perks in a single, usually dangerous, location.”

All Black Ops 6 Zombies changes: New features, weapons, mechanics & more – Dexerto
All Black Ops 6 Zombies changes: New features, weapons, mechanics & more ActivisionHere is everything new to Black Ops 6 Zombies, including some exciting features, gameplay changes, and more. Black Ops 6 is the upcoming installment in the best-selling Call of Duty franchise and will be released on October 25, 2024. As the launch date approaches, developer Activision unveiled a treasure trove of details about the game, focusing on the beloved Zombies mode in a comprehensive blog post. Given the popularity of the round-based game mode, the developers have maintained the essence of the experience while introducing exciting new gameplay features, weapons, and more to keep things fresh. As such, we’ve rounded up every new feature coming to BO6 Zombies and outlined them below. Black Ops 6 Zombies: All new features and changes Save and quit feature Of all the new features set to be introduced in Black Ops 6 Zombies, the save and quit button is one that Call of Duty players have been begging for years to be added. When playing a BO6 Zombies match alone, players will now be able to save their progress and dive back into their run at a later time. Furthermore, the game will also include an automatic save feature that triggers when a certain amount of time has passed without activity. However, it’s important to note that players can only hit the save button when they are at full health. Augments Augments are a brand new gameplay mechanic that allows players to customize further and boost their weapons, Equipment, Perks, and other valuable tools necessary for a successful zombie run. Augments are split into two categories: Major and Minor. Major Augments will provide “substantial advantages”, while Minors will offer “limited advantages.” Furthermore, each Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade in Zombies has three different Major and Minor Augments available to unlock. Guided Main Quest feature Black Ops 6 Zombies will include a quest that players must work together to complete. While including a storyline and tasks in Zombies is nothing new, BO6 aims to make this game aspect much easier by introducing a new guided main quest feature. This guided mode will assist players with progressing through the main quest. However, Easter eggs and side quests will be disabled, and rounds will be capped in line with quest progression. For those who have never played Call of Duty Zombies before, this mode will be your best friend when starting out. New third-person camera angle Players can switch between the first and third person for the first time in Call of Duty Zombies’ history. Instead of being locked into an FPS experience, players can now push the camera back over the shoulder and get a whole new angle when blasting through the hordes of Zombies hiding behind each corner. Shared door buys Purchasing doors in Zombies is often the only way to progress through the map and find new areas to explore. However, these doors always cost a fee, and the essence earned from killing the undead can then be used to open up these new pathways. Rather than always relying on one player to save up and unlock the next door, players can now split the cost. However, not all doors will allow this, as only specific doors will offer up the option to share the load. Ominimovement Black Ops 6 is completely revamping how players can move and traverse through Zombies thanks to the new Ominimovement mechanic. Rather than simply running and sliding your way around the undead, Ominimovement will allow players to dive in all directions with speed. This movement expansion will likely lead to some epic close saves and dodges in Zombies, particularly when caught in a tight corner or overwhelmed on multiple sides by the undead. Arsenal Machine The Arsenal Machine is a new Zombies tool players can use to modify their weapons and boost damage via Ammo mods. As explained by the developers, “Ammo Mods grant the affected weapon a percentage chance of dealing a special effect upon a successful projectile impact. Only one Ammo Mod can be applied to the weapon at a time, though you can purchase a new Ammo Mod as necessary.” GobbleGum rework While GobbleGums have appeared in previous CoD games, Black Ops 6 will completely rework the system to be much more player-friendly. These candy items give players a power-up when equipped. Furthermore, you’ll be able to choose up to five different types of GobbleGums for your loadout before starting a new match of Zombies. New Wonder Weapons One of the best parts of playing Call of Duty Zombies is testing the game mode’s unique Wonder Weapons. While players can rely on classic weapons to help take down the undead, Zombies always include some special guns to help make the round-based action easier. Two Wonder Weapons have been confirmed in BO6: the iconic Ray Gun and a new weapon called the Beamsmasher. The gun has two firing modes: a solid beam of energy that will have Zombies “break[ing] down at the molecular level” and a soundwave mode that can incapacitate multiple enemies simultaneously. New Perk-A-Cola flavor and bonus The Perk-A-Cola machine is synonymous with the Call of Duty Zombies experience; this in-game tool grants unique and helpful tools to players, which, at times, can be the difference between doing down in the early rounds or making it deep into a run. While there are many returning Perk-A-Cola boosts in BO6, the devs have also introduced a brand-new boost called Melee Macchiato. As explained in a blog post, this Perk-A-Cola purchase will “replace your weapon gun butt with a deadly punch that sends enemies flying.”

All Black Ops 6 Zombies Augments & how they work – Dexerto
All Black Ops 6 Zombies Augments & how they work ActivisionBlack Ops 6 is introducing a new system to the Zombies experience called Augments, so here is everything we know about the new customization mechanic and how it works. Activision appears to have gone all in expanding the Zombies experience for Black Ops 6. Alongside the return of Wonder Weapons, BO6 Zombies will feature classic Perks, Ammo Mods, and Gobblegums, to name a few. In addition, this upcoming Call of Duty installment will introduce a whole new customization system called Augments, allowing players to modify their loadout further to help when facing down hordes of the undead in the round-based game mode. For those eager to know more, here is everything you need to know about Augments in Black Ops 6, including how to get and use them. Black Ops 6 Augments explained As the developers explained, Augmentations are a brand-new loadout mechanic in Black Ops 6 Zombies. They allow players to customize their Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades further. Augments are split into two categories: Major and Minor. As the names suggest, Major Augments will provide “substantial advantages” while Minor will offer up “limited advantages.” Each Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade in Zombies has three different Major and Minor Augments available to unlock. However, players can only equip one Major and one Minor augment to Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades at a time. All Augments in Black Ops 6 Zombies There will be over 100 Augments featured in Black Ops 6 Zombies. While the developers are yet to reveal the complete list, here are all the different Augments that have been announced thus far. To unlock all Augments included in Black Ops 6 Zombies, players must complete the different research pathways connected to all the different Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades. Diving into a game of Zombies is how to complete these research paths; the more kills and progress you make in the round-based mode, the main way to unlock all these new and exciting Augments.

All Black Ops 6 Reveal challenges & rewards in MW3 and Warzone – Dexerto
All Black Ops 6 Reveal challenges & rewards in MW3 and Warzone ActivisionA number of Black Ops 6-related challenges have appeared in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, with players able to earn a weapon blueprint, calling card, and an exclusive execution/finishing move. The Black Ops 6 Direct took place at the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, June 9, with a first look at gameplay of the next COD title and some details on what players can expect. Last year, Modern Warfare 3 guns came first to Warzone, giving players a first look hands-on with the upcoming weapons. This appears to be a trend developers Raven Software want to continue going into Black Ops 6, launching challenges that include BO6-centric cosmetics and even a weapon blueprint. These are the Black Ops 6 challenges and their corresponding rewards that can currently be found in the Warzone Rewards tab: ‘Sally’ 9mm Daemon handgun blueprint: In Warzone, get 1 Operator Kills with an Old Friend – ‘The Truth Lies’ Calling Card: Discovered intel to uncovering the mole – ‘Purge Sequence’ Calling Card: She Never Let Me Down – ‘Sitting Bull’ Finishing move: Gained the Exclusive Execution – The challenges themselves are pretty vague, but simple to complete once you know what to do. To complete the first two challenges, you have to load into Rebirth Island and hope the submarine spawns north of Bioweapons — if it doesn’t spawn in, you’ll want to back out and load into Rebirth again to see if its there. If it does spawn, you can drop in to the manhole towards the back end of the submarine and head into the room in front of you. In there, you will find the Sally blueprint — which you’ll need to pick up a kill with — and a message board on which you can retrieve the ‘The Truth Lies’ Calling Card. After that, you’ll want to head to Bunker 7 in Urzikstan, near Old Town (Grid mark G3), input the code ‘72553’ and interact with the computer inside to earn the ‘Purge Sequence’ Calling Card. This is the first set of Black Ops 6 content that has been made available to Call of Duty players since the game was officially announced on May 23, but could point towards more in the coming months as the hype for Treyarch’s grand return builds. Black Ops 6 will be the first Call of Duty title to have had a full four-year development cycle, though they have helped other devs with work on Zombies and Ranked modes in recent years since the release of Black Ops Cold War in 2020. Season 4 only launched days before this Black Ops 6 content started to appear in-game and brought with it several new challenges too, including the Weekly Challenges to unlock the Helical Reverb animated camo. The Battle Pass also brought in the Superi 46 SMG and Kar98 marksman rifle, both of which have immediately entered the Warzone meta.

All Black Ops 4 post launch content will be exclusive on PS4 for a limited time – Dexerto
All Black Ops 4 post launch content will be exclusive on PS4 for a limited time PlayStation and Activision have announced that all post launch content for Black Ops 4 will be available first on PlayStation 4 – seven days before it hits other platforms. It was known that Call of Duty and Sony had kept their now four year deal going for the upcoming Black Ops 4 release, which in past titles has given 30 day exclusivity for DLC content on PlayStation. For Black Ops 4 however, the console exclusivity period on PS4 will only last for seven days – but it includes every form of post launch content, not just DLC packs. Details of Treyarch’s post launch content plans were revealed on September 19, and will include new specialists, Blackout map and content updates, weekly and seasonal events and more. The deal with Sony means that all of this content will be on PlayStation 4 first, exclusively for seven days, before it hits Xbox One and PC. Treyarch dev implies major change coming to 9 Bangs and Concussion grenades in Blackout“We are excited to announce that in our continued partnership with PlayStation, following the launch of the highly-anticipated game, PS4 players will get to play new Black Ops 4 content first on PS4. This means all the playable content coming to the Black Ops universe after the game’s release will come first to PS4, including new specialists and maps, as well as seasonal events.” Activision confirmed it was seven days in a separate blog post, an update to their post launch content blog: “Speaking of content, PlayStation 4 players will get to play new content first on PS4 by seven days. This means all the playable content coming to the Black Ops universe following launch will land seven days early on PS4, including new specialists and maps, as well as seasonal events. After seven days, all new playable content will come to other platforms.” For Xbox or PC players who don’t want to miss out on this exclusivity, PlayStation will be releasing numerous Black Ops 4 + PS4 console bundles. PlayStation Europe announced the first three bundles which will go on sale on October 12. 1TB PS4 Pro + one Dualshock 4 controller + Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (Nordics and France Only) – 1TB PS4 + one Dualshock 4 controller + Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 – 500GB PS4 + one Dualshock 4 controller + Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (UK Only) – Source: PlayStation / Activision

All 31 Modern Warfare & Warzone Season 6 cosmetic bundles revealed – Dexerto
All 31 Modern Warfare & Warzone Season 6 cosmetic bundles revealed Infinity Ward[jwplayer br5AuoVJ] The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone cosmetic bundles have been revealed for Season 6, with all 31 packs available for review while a selection randomly rotates across each player’s personal store. When you log into Modern Warfare or Warzone, you can peruse some of Season 6’s cosmetic bundles in your store tab. But those bundles rotate and you won’t be able to view all 31 at once, while friends may have different ones available to them at different times. Fortunately, CoD fans have put in the work and compiled all 31 packs so that you can best plan out your COD Points spending. Like Season 5’s offerings, this season has a ton of cool operators and weapon blueprints, but also some legitimate variety. While a pack like “A Comfortable Death” features a Calling Card of a pin-up girl lounging on the beach with a skull mask, the Warzone Pro Pack features 2,400 COD Points. One of the cooler things you can unlock? The “Hellhound” Finishing Move featured in the “Undead Forces: With Hellhound Pet!” bundle. Few things could feel as perfect as executing an enemy on Halloween with an undead hound at your side – especially when you add in the fact that there is expected to be a limited-time mode in Warzone for the Halloween season this year. This mode will start on October 20 and feature a night-time version of Verdansk. While every season’s Battle Pass and cosmetic bundles have featured exotic new Opereators and Blueprints, one thing that’s fun to see is the weird accompanying cosmetics. In Season 6’s Battle Pass, you can unlock a variety of wild tracks to play when you’re on a vehicle in Warzone (including DMX’s “Ruff Ryders Anthem”). Fittingly, some cool car skins can also be unlocked in the season’s packs. The sky blue and light, burnt orange coloring on the “Contagion” SUV is very smooth, making the “Cleaning Agent” bundle feel like a decent purchase for 1,800 COD Points. The skull painted on its door fits the entire season’s motifs, as many of Season 6’s cosmetics seem to follow October’s spooky energy. Speaking of fitting the time, perhaps no purchasable cosmetic feels as topical as the “Opposing Forces” Calling Card, which is part of the “Coin Operations II” bundle. While it could be a coincidence, the banner’s characters bear an unmistakable resemblance to one of the most recent hit games: Fall Guys. If we went through every single pack to showcase exciting guns, Operators, and general cosmetics, this would turn into a novel. Instead, you can check out all 31 bundles in all their glory over at CoD Tracker. There are two particularly interesting Tracer packs, one with a “16bit” particle effect and one with a “Tesla Coil” electric effect. Unfortunately, those have yet to be documented and may require someone buying and showing them off first.

Ali-A reveals “awesome” Black Ops Cold War MP5 loadout – Dexerto
Ali-A reveals “awesome” Black Ops Cold War MP5 loadout Activision / SCUF GamingWith the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War still fresh, one of the most powerful weapons in the game is the MP5 submachine gun — and YouTuber Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken has revealed what his perfect loadout is to get the most out of the weapon. [jwplayer Q7ySHZq9] With a new batch of guns ready to be tested in Black Ops Cold War, players have been getting to grips and finding their favorites, and there’s a small group of guns that are undoubtedly dominant in public matches. The MP5, AK-47 and M16 have all been super popular at the start of the game’s lifecycle. Continuing its dominance from Warzone and Modern Warfare, though, the MP5 smg really does seem to be the weapon of choice in most games. But how can you make sure your loadout is the best it can possibly be? Ali-A’s MP5 loadout While Ali-A might not be on the same level as the likes of Scump or Simp, he’s played long enough to know what he’s talking about and has definitely cottoned on to what works pretty quickly. So, if you’re looking for the best MP5 loadout to pubstomp and get your K/D up, here’s what Ali-A uses: Optic: Quickdot LED – Muzzle: Sound Suppressor – Body: Steady Aim Laser – Underbarrel: Foregrip – Magazine: 40 Rnd Drum – Loadout discussed at 8:40 in the video below. Ali-A also carries a 1911 handgun as a secondary, though we would maybe recommend the Diamatti or a launcher of some sort, due to the fact that scorestreaks are used so much more in Cold War than recent iterations of Call of Duty. He also uses Paranoia, Assassin and Gung-Ho in his three perk slots, the stim shot tactical equipment, Frag x2 and the Field Mic, with Danger Close for his wildcard. If you’re looking for an alternative to Ali-A’s class, feel free to check out our MP5 loadout recommendations.
