<p class="">Season 1 of<a href="https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-iii/"> Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II</a>I and<a href="https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0002-PPSA01649_00-CODWZ2BUNDLE0001/"> Call of Duty: Warzone</a> launches on December 6 on PlayStation 4 and PS5.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Multiplayer — New maps, game modes, Loadout items, Ranked Play</h2>
<p class=""><strong>Meat (Core, Launch):</strong> Make mincemeat out of your enemies at the East Bay Meats slaughterhouse. Use of the new Tac-Stance ability to combine agility with accuracy while weaving through the small confines of the meat locker and processing center.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Greece (Core, Launch):</strong> Test your mettle in a once-idyllic coastal town, where waters at the shore lap at the hull of a burning yacht. Navigate the city center of this medium-sized map where narrow alleys cut between the lines of shops. Dive into the water when you need to reposition and use the copious vantage points to get above your enemies. </p>
<p class=""><strong>Rio (Core, In-Season): </strong>Take in the vibrant colors of Rio de Janeiro as you battle across an upscale shopping center. Face enemies in tight quarters throughout the mall or move through the vibrant exterior streets in this small- to -medium- sized map. Look for vantage points in the covered walkway, over the garage, and on top of vehicles. Spacing is tight, so be ready to engage.<strong> </strong></p>
<p class=""><strong>Training Facility (Gunfight, Launch): </strong>Challenge another duo within the remains of an old warehouse, now repurposed as part of Konni Group’s training facilities. Perch on the second level for a greater view of the area or move through the interior spaces to ambush your enemies.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gunfight returns plus other new modes</h2>
<p class="">Gunfight returns to Call of Duty, pitting two teams of two against one another in a round-based match. There are no respawns, and all players are assigned the same randomized Loadout at the start of each round, which changes every two rounds. The first team to win six rounds wins the match. </p>
<p class=""><strong>Five maps at launch: </strong>Season 1 brings the new Training Facility map along with four Carry Forward Gunfight maps from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II: Alley, Blacksite, Exhibit, and Shipment. </p>
<p class=""><strong>All or Nothing: </strong>Deploy with Throwing Knives and no ammo. Get one elimination to activate the Scavenger Perk, allowing you to retrieve ammo pickups for your weapon. The first to land 20 eliminations wins.</p>
<p class="">More modes will be added to the mix during Season 1. Wield the Ray Gun in the new Vortex<strong> </strong>mode, plus load into Infected, Headquarters, and Team Gunfight.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Vest and Killstreaks</h2>
<p class="">Equip the new Assassin Vest: kills don’t display skulls and the Operator is immune to UAV and enemy radar effects (including while stationary).</p>
<p class="">Unlock two new Killstreaks via Armory Challenges. Call in the Swarm to deploy mosquito drones that provide blanket coverage over the entire area. Activate the EMP to disrupt enemy Killstreaks and equipment.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ranked Play launches in the mid-season</h2>

Track your standing with a visible skill rating and earn rewards across multiple Skill Divisions and Tiers. The best of the best will be featured in the Top 250 Leaderboard and Division.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Zombies — The next mission plus Rifts, a new Wonder Weapon, and more</h2>
<p class="">The Season 1 update brings new challenges and rewards alongside a new story mission that will test your abilities in the fights ahead.</p>

<p class=""><strong>New Wonder Weapon: </strong>Transform enemies into allies with the powerful V-R11. Shoot zombies and transform them into zombie-slaying humans, or blast humans to mutate them into friendly zombies.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Take on the Warlord: </strong>The South Korean born Dokkaebi, a Lieutenant within Terminus Outcomes, is entering the Exclusion Zone. Squad up, infiltrate her fortress, and take her out.</p>
<p class=""><strong>New Classified Schematics: </strong>Activate the Dog Bone to summon a friendly Hellhound companion that will follow you and attack nearby threats until its health runs out. Equip the Golden Armor Plate for Plates that repair over time in addition to providing extra damage resistance.

<p class=""><strong>Carry Forward Maps: </strong>Once Season 1 has been live for 48 hours, Ashika Island and Vondel will join the playable map rotation.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Updated Gameplay: </strong>The Season 1 update brings many of the new movement and other mechanics present in Modern Warfare III, along with new features, to Call of Duty: Warzone.</p>
<p class="">Expect movement updates to support features like slide canceling, Tac-Stance, ADS while sliding, and more. For gameplay updates, all Operators will carry a dedicated pistol when swimming, climbing ladders, or ledge hanging, along with improved water combat, a manual Gas Mask, dedicated ammo slots, loot rarity, classic red dots, and more.</p>
<p class=""><strong>New Environments: </strong>Take control of Call of Duty: Warzone’s first mobile POI with Urzikstan’s Drivable Train complete with forward and backward engine controls, a Buy Station, UAV Tower, Horn, Ammo Depot, and a guaranteed Legendary Supply Crate.</p>

<li><strong>Tempered</strong>: Now also available as a Custom Perk, Tempered allows you to refill armor plates to full with two plates instead of three. </li>

<li><strong>Shrouded: </strong>Drop a smoke grenade when downed. </li>
</ul>
