What is Covert Exfil in Warzone? Players already annoyed at new feature ActivisionIn Season 1 Reloaded, Warzone is getting a brand new mechanic called Covert Exfil that has already garnered its fair share of criticism. Here\u2019s exactly what it is, and why players are annoyed about it. Described as \u201ca challenging new way to escape the match\u201d by developers Raven Software, the Covert Exfil has been looked at by some as a new way to win the game, though Raven have insisted that it\u2019s not a \u2018win\u2019 in the traditional sense. Instead, it\u2019s primary aim is to give players the opportunity to leave the lobby with a Weapon Case, because you can\u2019t keep it if you die in the game. That means this will let you back out of the lobby and keep your weapon case, but it\u2019s still going to be a challenge to pull it off regardless. While exact details have not yet been provided, either on how exactly the Covert Exfil will work or what will be in said Weapon Cases, if it\u2019s similar to how things were in Warzone 2\u2019s DMZ mode, then it might mean players can pull exclusive cosmetics and blueprints. How to get a Covert Exfil? As noted, there are not specific instructions or details on the Covert Exfil yet, but we do know some snippets of information. Defined as a \u2018Secondary win condition\u2019, the Covert Exfil will come at a \u201chigh price\u201d according to the Season 1 Reloaded blog post. They will be available to buy at select Buy Stations, but there will only be five Covert Exfils available per match, and the \u201chigh price\u201d hasn\u2019t yet been revealed. Once bought, an exfil helicopter will fly in to bring the player \u2014 ideally with the Weapon Case \u2014 back to safety and out of the match. Why are Warzone players annoyed at Covert Exfil? Many Warzone players were concerned that a Covert Exfil acting as a \u2018secondary win condition\u2019 would dampen the meaning of wins in the battle royale game, as it would technically not be a \u201creal\u201d win in the BR sense. There were concerns that those who got a Covert Exfil would get another notch in their win column as far as the stats concerned, though Raven later explained that it would be counted as a \u201cseparate stat.\u201d Nevertheless, it sounds as though completing a Covert Exfil definitely won\u2019t be an easy task. Not only will you have to gather a lot of cash for it, you\u2019ll also have to find the right Buy Stations, too, and hope that the helicopter picks you up before another team can. The Covert Exfil won\u2019t be in Warzone until Season 1 Reloaded launches on January 17, so until then, we won\u2019t get to see what exactly it entails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
