The highly anticipated Season 4 update for Call of Duty: Warzone is set to launch on Wednesday, May 29. This update promises significant enhancements to the popular battle royale game, including a complete overhaul of the bunkers in Urzikstan, changes to the gulag system, and the introduction of new features, modes, and rewards.

Call Of Duty: Warzone Season 4 Expands Bunkers And Upgrades Gulags

The expanded bunkers scattered across Urzikstan now offer more space to explore and higher quality loot to collect. Access to these bunkers remains challenging as players must still find keycards to unlock the doors. This adds an extra layer of strategy and excitement to the game.

To enhance strategic depth, secondary escape hatches are being added to the bunkers, providing multiple entry and exit points. This transforms bunker battles from straightforward shootouts into tactical encounters that require careful planning and awareness. Not all bunkers will be accessible immediately; players will need to navigate the Warzone battlefield to unlock their secrets and discover the tactical advantages they offer.

The gulag, where fallen operators fight for a second chance at deployment, is getting a major update in Season 4. Instead of a single, repetitive layout, there will now be four distinct gulag variants, each with unique designs and strategic opportunities. These new battlegrounds feature elements like stacked equipment crates, plywood barriers, curved walls, and central grates, demanding constant adaptation from players. Mastering these environments will be crucial for securing victory and redeploying to the battlefield.

Buy Back Royale Solos Returns, Public Events Inject Chaos

Season 4 introduces new gameplay experiences as well. The popular Buy Back Royale Solos mode returns, eliminating the gulag and allowing players to buy themselves back into the fight if they have enough cash. This encourages aggressive tactics and rewards players who can accumulate strong financial reserves.

Additionally, new public events are being added to the game. One such event, the “Runaway Train,” adds chaos to the endgame, forcing players to adapt and survive amidst a speeding locomotive. Players will need to decide whether to take cover on top of the train, use it as mobile concealment, or set traps for enemies trying to board.

Enhanced Rewards And New Features Elevate The Warzone Experience

The revamped reward system in Season 4 incentivizes active Warzone play. New daily and weekly challenges will test players' skills and knowledge of the Warzone battlefield, pushing them to refine their strategies and techniques. Warzone-specific rewards are also available, allowing players to showcase their dominance through various in-game actions.

Season 4 introduces a host of new features to enhance the Warzone experience. Specialist Perks provide additional customization options for loadouts, allowing players to tailor their playstyle. Tactical Sprint Boots offer an edge in movement, perfect for flanking enemies or escaping tight situations. The Polaris RZR, a new vehicle, joins the roster, providing a speedy option for traversing the vast landscapes of Urzikstan. Mid-season weapon drops are also planned, expanding players' arsenals with fresh firepower.

Overall, Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4 injects excitement into the battle royale formula with its revamped approach to bunkers and the gulag, the introduction of new modes and public events, a more rewarding gameplay experience, and a variety of new features. Season 4 promises to keep players engaged and strategizing for dominance on the battlefield.

Call Of Duty: Warzone Season 4 Update Full List Of Patch Notes

For those eager to dive into every detail of the latest changes, the full list of patch notes provides an extensive overview of all the enhancements and updates in Season 4. From gameplay tweaks to bug fixes, here's everything you need to know about what to expect in the newest Call of Duty: Warzone update.

Urzikstan Bunker Update (Launch, In-Season)

Increased activity across Urzikstan seems to be focused on the Bunkers dotted across the warzone. After keycard access is obtained, an expanded interior may be accessible, along with high-level loot and additional intel regarding the location of [[REDACTED]]. Secondary Bunker exit hatches are likely to be active, allowing your squad multiple methods of escape. However, not all Bunkers appear to be accessible. Further investigation, and great care, is needed to solve this conundrum.

Urzikstan Gulag Update (Launch)

Additional Gulag silos have opened up during Urzikstan Battle Royale matches, and recon teams have confirmed four different variants. Expect to randomly drop into one of them, offering you new ways to approach your 1v1 duel for redeployment.

  • Gulag “S”: Stacked equipment and L-shaped plywood walls with an S-shaped central wall over the circular floor grate.
  • Gulag “2”: A three-panel curved wall, stacked equipment against two walled sections, and two curved inner walls above the circular floor grate.
  • Gulag “3”: Stacked equipment against two walled sections, with concrete L-shaped walls around the central circular floor grate.

  • Gulag “8”: A rectangular concrete barrier wall outside long central section around the central circular floor grate with one plywood wall sprayed with a blue “8”.

Call of Duty: Warzone Modes and Public Events

Returning Mode: Buy Back Royale Solos (Urzikstan, Launch)

Money is life. Earn enough Cash to redeploy automatically. Last team standing wins.

Being down doesn’t mean being out, providing you’ve got the Cash for a revive. Following the regular Battle Royale rules, this Urzikstan-only mode disables the Gulag, and instead allows you to return to a match after dying, along with a removal of some of your collected Cash reserves. Multiple redeployments are available until the final moments of a match (around the same time the Gulag closes in regular Battle Royale), allowing for a more risky, aggressive strategy and higher eliminations if you’ve the funds for it.

Additional Modes (In-Season)

SpecGru and KorTac Operators across multiple infil zones should expect additional [[REDACTED]] and a number of [[REDACTED]] modes as the Season progresses. Exercise extreme caution as you investigate [[REDACTED]], one step closer to the truth.

New Feature: Call of Duty: Warzone Rewards (Launch)

As well as Daily and Weekly Call of Duty: Warzone Rewards, a third set of brand new rewards specifically tailored to Call of Duty: Warzone players will be available at launch, all of which are trackable, and some of which unlock some of the most coveted rewards around! Accessible in the “Call of Duty: Warzone Rewards” section of the Challenges Menu, there are five different types of Challenge to complete, each granting a reward:

  • Economics: These offer rewards in return for looting and spending Cash at Buy Stations.
  • Contracts: Unlock items for completing different types (and numbers) of Contracts.
  • Social: Interact with enemy players or aid your team to secure more item rewards.
  • Mode: Complete tasks in different game modes, from Battle Royale to Plunder to Resurgence.
  • Champion’s Quest: Is a Champion’s Quest active in your game? Then check these Challenges out!

Additional Access Feature: Specialist Perk (Urzikstan, Launch)

Operators dropping into Urzikstan can now obtain the legendary and most prized Perk possession, the Specialist Perk suitcase! In addition to the default Perks available to all Operators (Tac Pads, Commando Gloves, Quick-Grip Gloves, Climbing Boots, and Overkill), this rare ground loot grants you the advantages of the following 29 additional Perks, but only for the remainder of the match:

  • Perk Slots 1 and 2 (all Perks active): Battle Hardened, Double Time, E.O.D., Focus, Irradiated, Mechanic, Mountaineer, Scavenger, Shrapnel, Sleight of Hand, Spotter, Strong Arm.
  • Perk Slot 3 (all Perks active): Cold-Blooded, Escapist, Payout, Primed, Quick Fix, Resupply, Stalker, Survivor, Tempered, Tracker.
  • Perk Slot 4 (all Perks active): Birdseye, Combat Scout, Flex, Ghost, High Alert, Resolute, Shrouded.

New Feature: Tactical Sprint Boots (Urzikstan, Launch Window)

Urzikstan-based Operators can look forward to infiltrating any of the accessible bunkers to obtain the Tactical Sprint Boots Perk, which will give you an increase to your base speed and an infinite Tactical Sprint improvement.

New Vehicle: Polaris RZR (Urzikstan, Launch)

The ultimate combination of power, strength, and control has arrived in Call of Duty: Warzone! The Polaris RZR Pro R, a real-world side-by-side UTV offering immediate acceleration, nimble handling, and rugged durability is available as a Land Vehicle within Urzikstan. Appearing as “Polaris RZR” on your Tac-Map, this side-by-side differs from the current in-game UTV as it offers a tighter turning circle and handling, three seats and improved fuel economy. Currently available in Urzikstan in any color as long as it’s gray.

New Feature: Loot Hot Zones (Launch)

Designated points of interest on the map may identified as “Loot Hot Zones.” Get there before the enemy and you’ll be rewarded with higher tier loot than normal. Just be prepared for a vicious battle over who gets to claim this enhanced gear!

New Feature: [[REDACTED]] Weapons (Mid-Season)

By the time you reach mid-season, you may be wishing for impressive and rare weaponry to deal with enhanced threats across the battlefield. Fortunately, a number of Redacted Weapons, each found within a Loot Hot Zone or Bunker, have been confirmed as Ground Loot to find. Gather these powerful weapons with up to 10 attachments (as denoted above your weapon icon) and finish your foes with the firepower you need!

New Public Event:  Runaway Train (Mid-Season)

Drop into Urzikstan engagements at mid-season, and there’s a small chance your end game occurs on a runaway train. Expect confirmation of this sometime around the sixth gas circle where the Public Event may be announced. Prepare for a wild ride; Operators with memories of “Slay Ride Resurgence” know what to expect. Seek immediate refuge close to the train, which cannot be controlled! Fortunately, the circle of gas (the safe zone) remains over the moving train until the end of the match, forcing squads to battle on or around the careening carriages, though the train itself slows down enough to provide access, as well as unique takedown opportunities.
