The Haunting

Return to the Call of Duty blog on October 18 for more intel about the upcoming Halloween celebration across Warzone and Black Ops Cold War.

Scopes and Scatterguns, The Rebirth Of…!

Get up close and personal… deal death from afar… spend a lifetime reloading between bolts… the choice is yours! Scopes and Scatterguns returns to Warzone – with a new twist. 

Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Rebirth Resurgence
  • This mode builds upon a map and ruleset combination that we already all know and love – Rebirth Resurgence!

• Limited Loot
  • The loot table will only include Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Crossbows. Aim true, Operator.

• No Loadouts
  • No free Loadouts Drops and no purchasable Loadout in the Buy Station either! Players will have to up their scavenging game and win with what they find!

• New Starting Weapon
  • The 1911 (BOCW) isn’t exactly a Shotgun… so Players will spawn in with the thematic Marshal (BOCW) instead.

This returning mode will go live during the second week of Season Six on October 14th. Keep an eye on our Twitter for weekly Playlist updates! 

New Points of Interest

• Fissures
  • Explosive charges have triggered a devastating seismic event in Verdansk, forming massive cracks right through Stadium and Downtown.

• Bunkers
  • Make your way through this system of passageways and armament rooms, find high value loot, and ascend back to the surface before anyone else does.

New Gulag, inspired by the Original

• Look familiar? We thought so. Same rules. Slightly different arena.

• Loot across Verdansk has been adjusted as follows…
  • The .410 Ironhide (BOCW) and Grav (BOCW) have been added
    
  • New Gulag loadouts
    
  • New ground and Supply Box loot

• Regiments
  • Regiments are now frozen to ensure a smooth transition over to the new Clan-based system, coming later this year. 
    • Players will now only be able to view their Regiment Roster and inspect other Players. 
    • Players will no longer be able to create, manage, switch or invite others, use Regiment Tags, or receive Happy Hour rewards.
       

• Loot Cards
  • The visual style of all loot cards has been updated! 
    
  • In addition to this change, we’ve added information about the fire type of a Weapon to each loot card. 
    • This will allow Players to observe if a Weapon is automatic, semi-automatic, or burst before committing to it, without having to fire test shots or lose their next engagement.

• Killfeed (Time On Screen)
  • Added an option under the Accessibility menu to customize the amount of time that messages in the Killfeed stay on screen. This option is intended to support Hard of Vision, Hard of Hearing, and Cognitive Overload accessibility. 
    
  • The setting has 5 options:
    • Off: Never show updates
      
    • Default: Updates show for 10 seconds
      
    • Medium: Updates show for 20 seconds
      
    • Long: Updates show for 30 seconds
      
    • Extended: Updates show for 60 seconds
      
    • Note: This will not affect the duration of disconnect notifications.

  • Added an option under the Audio menu to adjust the degree to which the Mono Audio is applied when enabled.
