News - Warzone 2. 0: The 16 Biggest Changes From The Original Warzone
Call of Duty just released the sequel to their insanely popular War Zone title, but hopping in, you're likely to notice Warzone 2 doesn't even come close to being the same as its older brother. Because of that, we've put together a list of the 16 biggest changes to help you hit the ground running in Call of Duty: War Zone 2.
Of course, before diving into the brand new map All Mazra, it's important to first know there's a brand new loadout system being brought over from Modern Warfare 2 into War Zone 2. If you've yet to play the new Modern Warfare title, here's the gist of things: There are more than 50 base weapons. These weapons are split into 10 different categories, depending on how they are utilized.
You can level up these base weapons, and each of them has a unique set of attachments that can be used on other weapons depending on the attachment category. Additionally, once you level a weapon to its maximum, you'll unlock it through tuning, which allows you to dive deeper into how beneficial an attachment is for the stats it's already boosting or even those it's negatively affecting.
Well, we know it's a bit complicated, but after some hours of play and testing the weapons, it's not as difficult as the barrier to entry may make it sync past weapons. Specifically, we will be seeing the return of perks in Warzone; however, now it will be via the new perk package system, meaning the moment you get your loadout, you'll be given your first two perks, and throughout the match, you will be able to unlock your third and fourth perks now that you've at the very least taken a second to look into setting up some weapons.
Let's talk about the first thing you'll be doing when you load into a match, and that's diving out of the plane if you've played War Zone 1. No doubt you'll remember being shot out of the sky at some point while just trying to land in the match, however. In War Zone 2, they've actually done away with the ability to shoot while diving out of the plane.
This means finding a landing spot is going to be much easier, as you'll be able to fly farther without the stress of being eliminated while still in the air. You and your team should go into your settings and under "interface." You'll find the color customization on Panel, and we recommend changing your "neutral color," which is the color for all the pings you place on the map, to a vibrant, easy-to-find color like pink or red.
Then, when marking a location, you'll be able to easily see where your squad is headed. After landing, you may notice you're hearing voices that aren't those of your teammates: "Kill, me," but don't worry, you're not going crazy; it's just Warzone 2's third big change in War Zone 2. There's a new function called "proximity chat," which you may have heard of due to its popularity in other games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Battlegrounds this is the first time it's been implemented, not only in a Call of Duty title but also because this is its first implementation. In Call of Duty, many people either won't know it's there or may not quite know how it works, and you can use that to your advantage. So within about 50 meters, you're going to be able to hear your enemies speaking; if they're talking to their teammate in game chat, listen closely and do your best not to do the same as to give your position away, or if you're looking to make some friends.
Heck, if you're looking to talk some trash, just chatter away and see what happens, but what you may want to know a bit more about than just those in-game screaming matches is the brand new looting system. Back in the original war zone, looting was pretty simple. You could find random loot throughout the match on the ground, open a chest, and it would drop items out onto the ground, or, after eliminating an enemy, all their loot would explode into a pile where their body lay lifelessly.
Lays Horizon 2 is quite different from that first one. While you're still able to find chests throughout the map that'll dump loot onto the ground, most lootable items are going to be in areas that make sense for that specific loot to be Looking for heels Check the medicine cabinet. Looking for money, check a cash register, Looking for plates Well, plates are actually just about everywhere.
You can even find gas cans in gas stations, but we'll get to that later. As for when you eliminate an enemy, you'll be presented with a new bag looting system for dead bodies. This means that instead of loot pouring out on the ground, all the enemies' items will be secured into a small bag laying on their location of elimination, and all you need to do is open up that bag and find the items you're wanting to put into yours.
Speaking of Horizon 2's fifth big change, its new inventory system is similar to games like PubG and Apex Legends. Call of Duty has decided to change to a backpack-based inventory system, meaning you'll begin with a small backpack and have the opportunity to find medium and large backpacks throughout the map in various chests.
These backpacks are going to give you more space to hold items in your personal inventory, as well as the ability to hold a third gun, which can be shared with a teammate or switched out if one of the two you're already using runs out of ammo. However, carrying a third weapon isn't the only thing these backpacks can do with the addition of the backpack inventory system.
You have the option to carry as much of one specific item as can fit in the slots available, so whether you fill your slots with armor plates, additional ammo, kill streaks, or self-revive, the opportunities are there. What's not endless is Warzone 2's sixth big change, and that's contracts. In the original war zone, you were able to grab Recon Scavenger.
Bounty, Most Wanted, and Supply Run contracts; however, War Zone 2 has a Fresh Approach to things. While some contracts have been removed, others have been slightly changed to fit the new theme of "War Zone." For example, these new contracts include old ones like the Most Wanted and Bounty contracts but also add in the Intel and Safe Cracker contracts.
However, it's really just a reskin of the old ones. For scavengers, they've also added a new nuke contract, but that's a conversation for a different day, as it can't be simply found around the map like the others and requires a lot more steps to acquire. Once you're able to complete these contracts and find yourself with plenty of money, I'm sure you'll be trying to spend it at a nearby buying station.
Well, that's actually Wars on Station 2's seventh big change station got a huge overhaul; in fact, it's now been split into two categories: gear and weapons. In the gear category, you'll find equipment field upgrades and kill streaks, and in the weapons category, well, I bet you can guess that one.
