Players will be able to buy the Armor Box at Buy Stations, or find them in Supply Boxes. Warzone\u2019s do-or-die Gulag mode is getting a new bundle of guns to add to its random-select pool too, including several SMGs and assault rifles. The AK-47, Kilo 141, Ram-7, M13, Striker 45, and more. Pistols and shotguns have not been removed from the RNG pool. Finally, the battle royale will be getting two new modes from May 19 \u2014 Classic Battle Royale, and Blood Money Quads. While the Quads playlist needs no introductions, the Classic mode does: it\u2019s a barebones version of Warzone, with no contracts, buy stations, or Gulag. Hardhat, Aisle 9 added to Modern Warfare multiplayer Warzone wasn\u2019t the only flagship mode to get some love in Modern Warfare\u2019s latest patch either. Two new maps have been unveiled for multiplayer, including a remake of the popular Modern Warfare 3 close-quarters arena Hardhat. Hardhat first debuted in the Call of Duty franchise back in 2011. It quickly became renowned for its \u201cfast-paced, frenetic combat,\u201d mixed with a few longer routes. The remade map will be available in its own 24\/7 playlist. Modern Warfare\u2019s second new map, Aisle 9, will also be getting its own unique playlist to celebrate its arrival in the 2019 title. The playlist will be called \u201cClean Up on Aisle 9,\u201d and will host TDM, Kill Confirmed, Grind, and Domination. The latest Modern Warfare & Warzone patch may have been headlined by additions to the battle royale and multiplayer, but there\u2019s plenty more too, including nerfs for the RPG and Renetti, and the return of Most Wanted contracts.
