These include fighter planes, a first for Warzone, so be ready for a totally new experience. The first of these, available on December 9, is Vanguard Royale, which features additional World War 2-era vehicles.
The core Battle Royale playlists will be accompanied by a series of rotating Vanguard playlists, which feature exclusively Vanguard weapons, both on the floor and in your loadouts, paired with some special rulesets.
All 38 Vanguard weapons plus two new Battle Pass guns will be available for your loadouts, alongside the existing arsenals from Modern Warfare and Cold War.
These will function much as they always have, and Vanguard content will integrate in much the same way as Cold War did last year. So, the core Battle Royale playlists, including Solos, Duos, Trios, and Squads will all be migrating over to Caldera. What modes and playlists will be available on Caldera?Ĭaldera is fully replacing Verdansk as the core map in Call of Duty: Warzone. We haven’t seen this in action yet, but it sounds like the wetter parts of Caldera will provide opportunities for new, stealthy styles of play. Additionally, throwing Molotov Cocktails or other sources of fire into the water will generate smoke clouds. Rivers and swamps will hide footprints from Tracker perk users, and players that “crouch in knee-high water… gain the effects of Cold Blooded,” according to the aforementioned blog post. While players won’t be able to swim in the oceans and rivers of Caldera, there will be shallow water that is navigable on foot. The jungle terrain will also have a direct impact on gameplay, with some new features that encourage some experimentation. Expect a welcome reprieve from the last two years of stairwell fights on Verdansk. Buildings generally look to be smaller and more spread out. There will be no Downtown roof snipers here, and any mountain snipers may find that the thicker tree cover of Caldera foils their plans. In its remote island setting, Caldera replaces the skyscrapers of Downtown Verdansk with rocky hills and mountains. However, scenes of the map in trailers and other official images point towards a much different gameplay flow. Expect this to be an apt replacement, with a similar scale and player counts. The scale lines indicate that Caldera is about the same size as Verdansk. At that time, all Rebirth Island playlists will be removed until an unspecified date “later in Season One,” according to Activision’s blog post on the subject.Īctivision has released an official map of Caldera, seen above, which includes map regions and points of interest. Caldera becomes available to all Warzone players on December 9.
Rebirth Island will remain available, and you can play it to your heart’s content until Caldera’s full release. If you own Vanguard, Caldera playlists will be accessible as soon as servers go live on December 8. When Verdansk exits, early access to Caldera begins for all players who own Call of Duty: Vanguard. When Season 1 begins, Verdansk will be removed from Warzone, at least for the time being.
