Call of Duty: Warzone: Season 02 Content
CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE SUMMARY | [/tr]

Incoming Call of Duty: Warzone Updates
As announced in the recent Community Updates blog, we’ve made the decision to prioritize focus on gameplay tuning, adding more quality of life improvements, and addressing ongoing bugs. This means that in order to deliver meaningful improvements to our players, new content originally planned for Season 02 has been shifted to create bandwidth to address foundational issues. These improvements won’t come all at once – rather, they’ll be staggered across the season and with quite a few quality of life changes coming mid-season. Our priority is having the most solid foundation that Battle Royale can offer and are excited for players to see it all live.
Rest assured, a full selection of content is still accessible, with access to our maps (Area 99, Urzikstan, Rebirth Island) and modes (Battle Royale, Resurgence, Plunder) available at Season 02 launch, and with BR Ranked coming during the launch window. Call of Duty: Warzone players will also be part of The Terminator and Shadow Hunt Events during the first few weeks of the season, and access all the shared Season 02 content, including the new base weapons.

Its rapid re-centering speed encourages quick follow up shots without losing sight of your target, eliminating unarmored enemies in three-to-four shots out to 100 meters. Whether you opt for a long-range Optic to engage enemies at a distance or prefer a closer fight, the TR2’s ease of use promises a good outcome in the hands of a trained Operator.
