Multiplayer Maps
Hacienda
Remaster, Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized
The lush vineyard estate returns under new ownership as Operators descend on the mansion and its immaculate grounds. Fire down on enemies from the gallery and swim past their front line along the Terrace. Traverse the extended hallway overlooking the vineyard—a renovation first introduced in Hacienda Twilight in Black Ops 4—and marvel at the wealth on display in the showroom, the in-office aquarium, and the elegant fountain at the map’s center. Using the new Omnimovement system, Hacienda becomes a whole new experience ripe with tactical opportunities.
Racket
Brand-New, Strike, 2v2/6v6, Small-Sized
The French Syndicate continues with their plans to topple the Luttazzi crime family by hitting them directly in their finances. Battle within the labyrinthine bank vault, dashing in and out of the vault cells to flank enemies in the halls. This new three-lane map requires quick thinking to survive its tight confines, so don’t let all that gold distract you from the mission at hand.
Nuketown Holiday
Variant, Core 6v6, Small-Sized
Good cheer arrives as Nuketown dresses up for the holidays. Get into snowball fights and gawk at the festive decorations lining every surface. On Nuketown Holiday, you can almost forget that you’re in the middle of a battle… albeit one where Operators exchange grenades instead of presents. Good luck out there.
New Festive Limited Time Modes
Indulge your sweet tooth while gaining buffs in Ran-Snack and add a little levity to fighting for your life in Infectious Holiday.
Ran-Snack (Launch)
Trade gold for sweets in this festive LTM that challenges teams to gather and deposit the most cookies. Grab cookies from the rotating crate, fallen Operators, and by breaching the enemy’s cookie box and taking the goods back to your own. In honor of the season of giving, your Operator also earns buffs for depositing cookies, including a speed boost, faster reload, and faster health regen. The first team to reach the Score Limit or have the best score when the Time Limit expires wins.
Infectious Holiday (In-Season)
Even the undead are getting into the holiday spirit as zombies and fallen Operators don festive clothing in this festive twist on the fan-favorite Infected mode.
When playing either of these LTMs on Nuketown Holiday, look for snow piled around the map that you can pick up and throw at enemies for a one-shot elimination!
New Loadout Content
Enhance your explosions with intel-gathering capabilities and grant yourself the gift of an extra Wildcard with two new Loadout items to help carry you through the year.
New Perk

Call of Duty: Warzone BR Ranked Play (Reloaded Launch Window)
Drop in and back up your talk with the arrival of Battle Royale Ranked Play for Call of Duty: Warzone, the competitive experience returns to Battle Royale. Give it all to be the last squad standing in Urzikstan and earn exclusive Ranked Play rewards for your efforts.
Overview and Features
BR Ranked Play Access: To access BR Ranked Play, players must first place in the Top 15 in Battle Royale or the Top 6 in Resurgence across a total of 30 matches. Placements from Season 01 count toward this requirement.
Updated Rank: The 1-50 Rank and Skill Division system seen in previous versions of BR Ranked Play have been combined into a single Rank, representing what was previously your Skill Division and Tier. Earn SR and progress through 8 Ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Crimson, Iridescent, and Top 250.
SR (Skill Rating): Progress through Ranks by earning SR in each match. New this year, SR is earned from your placement and your personal elimination performance. The amount of SR earned from an elimination is now determined by your rank in relation to your opponent. This means more SR’s for killing higher ranked players, and less SR for killing those below you.
Update: Party Skill Restriction: Full squads can party together without restrictions. Matchmaking will be based on the highest ranked player in the squad.
Update: Seasonal Setback: The End-of-Season SR Setback has been adjusted in BR Ranked Play to reduce the impact felt by players early in their Rank journey. Every new season, your Rank may be reset based on where you ended the previous season, as follows:
- Bronze or Silver Ranked players are not impacted by the Seasonal setback and will be able to pick up where they ended each Season with no SR deduction.[/*]
- Gold or Platinum players will start the next Season in Tier I of Gold or Platinum respectively.[/*]
- Diamond and above players will start the next Season at Diamond I.[/*]
Update: Loss Forgiveness: No matter what your Rank, each player’s first loss of the day will be forgiven and not deduct SR. This does not stack. Additionally, the three games of Loss Forgiveness that are granted when you’re promoted to a new Rank or at the start of the season now only count down after Losses.
BR Ranked Play rewards: BR Ranked Play features a variety of unique rewards players can earn to show off their skill and engagement with the mode, including new Operator Skins, Calling Cards, Decals, Emblems, plus a Loading Screen and Sticker:
- Rank Rewards: Reach Gold Rank or higher to earn special Rank Rewards that are awarded the moment you’re promoted into the Rank instead of at the end of the Season.[/*]
- Win Challenges: Reach Career Win milestones over the course of your Ranked Play career to earn rewards including the base Ranked Operator Skin, Call of Duty: Warzone-themed Weapon Camo, and the “Whisper” Combat Knife Blueprint. These can be completed across multiple seasons.[/*]
- Top 250 Competitor and Top 250 Champion Skin (#1 Overall): Climb to the Top 250 BR Ranked Play leaderboard to earn the “Top Competitor” Operator Skin (Home and Away). The #1 overall player for the season will get the sole privilege of equipping the “Top 250 Champion” Operator Skin.[/*]
- Seasonal Rewards: Each BR Ranked Play Season introduces new Seasonal Rank Rewards to earn. These are only available to be earned during that specific Season. Like the Rank Skins, Seasonal Rank Rewards are awarded as soon as the player is promoted into each Rank instead of at the end of the Season.[/*]
