News - First Look At The Walking Dead Coming To Warzone 2 Zombies
As well as other things happening for season 2, first and foremost, this was tweeted with the caption Hunt to Survive Face the Horde in season 2 of Call of Duty Wars and MW3, coming February 7th, meaning it's a zombie themed season, which is music to our ears, and hopefully that means that zombies are going to get a lot of stuff within season 2 itself now with the Walking Dead event.
What we know is that this is tying in with the release of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, which is a spin-off show that's launching at the end of February, and that's likely when we're going to see Rick Grimes and the other Walking Dead content within the game now. Leakers over on Twitter found references in the game files to Rick Grimes a while ago but also found references to Michonne as an operator in the game as well, so while Rick Grimes is 100% confirmed, there's a chance that Michonne will also come as a playable operator.
Within season 2 and the files, there's references to a lot of new weapons coming, specifically two Walking Dead-themed weapons, a sword and a bow. Now the sword is absolutely iconic in The Walking Dead series with Michonne, so there is a chance that Michonne's actual sword will be a melee weapon that you will be able to get within season 2.
Rick's not really known for the bow, but I'm all here for it regardless. Like I said, this is probably all going to be tied to an event that will happen during the season to launch with the show itself, but that will come with an in-game event that will have its own reward, and leakers have managed to find that there is a camo potentially tied to this Walking Dead event that will be the final reward, which looks like someone took Negan's bat Lucille and literally wrapped barbed wire around the weapon as a camo.
I think this looks absolutely incredible, and we should be able to earn it from the Walking Dead in-game event. Now. I really hope that this in-game event has zombies included as well as multiplayer and War Zone, because some of the recent in-game events for the boys have just been for multiplayer and War Zone.
Something this iconic and themed primarily around zombies has to also be a thing within zombies, and it would be a dream if there was something completely separate from Modern Warfare 3 zombies that included The Walking Dead as a collab separate to multiplayer and War Zone. I think that would be an absolute dream.
The main key art is really interesting because we see this shot of a ghost where there's this weird ethereal energy coming off him. There, I say, it looks like he's inside the dark EA. I really don't know, but again. Call of Duty's official caption is that we are facing the horde within season 2, so it sounds like there's going to be a massive emphasis on zombies, and I really hope that translates over into MW3.
What we know so far for season 2 is that we're going to be getting at least one new act. Mission, which is another story. Mission, but this is going to be focused around Flet, who is Zak's right-hand man at Terminus outcomes, and from leaks over on Twitter, there seems to be a multi-step. Quest where we'll travel to Fletcher's last known location, so a bit like a story mission where we'll X fill out the chopper and into a new instance effective Terminus outcomes agents and then going to betray Terminus and they're going to start working for us to give us information, we're eventually going to be led to some sort of big enemy that we need to take down, which is interfering with some sort of signal that is labeled as an EMP, enemy, so we could see a return of the tempests.
That we saw from Cold War Zombies, maybe even the massive one that we fought during outbreaks first Easter egg quest, which would be so cool to see it return in that way and it is being biged up as a big EMP enemy. We could also see the smaller versions of the Tempest introduced as a new zombie type that we see in the world, along with all the usual Elite zombies.
It's also super likely that we will also see the new XO streak system, which is called the containment level, where you'll be able to spawn in with various benefits depending on how many successful games you've played and how many contracts you've completed overall while successfully X filling over time.
We have this graphic here that's created by Detonated, and these original images came from Jackson Kekw. You can see that the benefits start by spawning with 500 points; you can later upgrade that to then spawn in with up to 5, 000 points. There's also one where you spawn with five armor plates. Get discounts on the perk machines and increase your contract payouts.
Get a discount on the mystery box and a discount on the pack-a-punch cost that will really benefit those that play the game a lot now. I know these aren't everyone's favorites, but we're very likely to get a new warlord boss sometime in season 2. It might not be at the start of season 2; it could be season 2 reloaded, but there've already been leaks in the game of key cards for warlords that aren't already in the game, as well as actual in-game images of when they speak, and these are carries as well as rainmakers, so it's very likely that those two warlords are the ones that we're going to be seeing the soonest inside of the game if it's just one of those added in season 2 or potentially even two of them.
There are also other warlord names, such as Archangel. Bronco. Ura. Kin. Sakov, and payback leakers have also found strings to potential new contracts and activities around the map they will be able to do, which include summon turret defend, relic hunt, and survive, but again, there's no real confirmation if any of those are going to be coming with season 2, but I'd imagine that we need to get some new activities in the map at some point soon to keep it fresh.
Now, the weirder potential things coming to zombies is that there's also strings found that relate to new gameplay features that we've not seen before, and some of these we have had before in War Zone or we've had in DMZ, and some of them have never been seen in any of those modes before, so the list that we have is black-sight ATMs.
A decontamination station, a defib machine weapons locker, a portable buying station, and a citadel An x-fill, a balloon, and a dead drop Locker now, dead drop lockers make sense because you could use these to reduce the cooldown of your insured weapons feature that we saw within DMZ, and weirdly, there is a dead drop bin inside of the dark EA, but it doesn't actually work.
An xfill balloon could be something that you could use to fill from the map without having to go to an actual area to call in the chopper, which could be quite useful if you're in a really bad scenario. It could be really useful, again, if you're just nowhere near a buy station in any of the tiered zones and you just want to throw down one and just buy something really quick that could be cool weapons.
