With some delay, Season 2 of Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard is just around the corner. And it has packed in a lot of new features, such as new vehicles, weapons, game modes and multiplayer maps. In this article, we collect all the information for you.

All info on CoD Warzone Season 2: Reloaded

The mid-season update of CoD Warzone is just around the corner and brings a whole lot of changes with it. Of course, we also have a roadmap for you for an overview:

Release: When does Season 2 Reloaded of Warzone start?

As early as March 23, 2022 at 5:00pm, Warzone’s Mid-Season Update will launch. For CoD Vanguard you can download the update one day before. However, there is no preload for Warzone. There is also no information about the size of the update yet.

Map: All changes on Rebirth Island

Rebirth Island gets the biggest overhaul yet with Season 2 Reloaded. In addition to the improved view, some familiar locations have been reworked and some have been added completely.

In order to make Stronghold more attractive for the players, the developers have added some new buildings, such as a tower. This not only gives you a better overview, but will soon also contain more boxes with valuable loot.

Two new supply ships will drop anchor in the harbour of Rebirth Island from the patch onwards. Below deck, some crates are waiting to be looted by you. The ships are completely accessible.

The prison has been given many visual adjustments, which is why you should hardly recognise some of the buildings. In addition, there are now more cover options in the inner courtyard, which will make fights there much more pleasant.

Modes: Three new modes will be added to Rebirth Island

Rebirth Resurgence Solos: The well-known mode is expanded by a solo variant. As usual, the Battle Royale mode plays much faster on this map and provides fast-paced action.

Rebirth Payload: Here, three teams fight for trucks that drive on a certain route through Rebirth Island. Either you have to attack the convoy or escort it.

Rebirth Blood Money: This mode works like Loot Money, but has a special twist. As the name suggests, you also get a lot of money for kills, which is why the PvP aspect should be even higher.

Event: Rebirth Island Reinforced

In the new event there are again all kinds of skins that you can unlock by completing tasks on Rebirth Island. Included is a legendary blueprint for an LMG. The real highlight, however, is the Weapon Trade Station, which you can unlock by completing a community challenge.

At this station you can trade in your weapon and in return you will only get a lower quality gun, but a whole lot of other things. Depending on how valuable your weapon is, you can get series, kits, backpacks, money, equipment and specialist badges in the exchange.

Release: When does Season 2 of Warzone start?

After a postponement, the new release date is February 14, 2022, so if you’re still looking for Valentine’s Day ideas, a few rounds on Caldera is sure to set the romantic mood.

The Vanguard update will be available for download a little earlier, namely from 10 February. Presumably the 2nd Season will last about eight weeks, as usual. A mid-season update has already been confirmed.

Size: How big will the download be?

There is currently no info on this yet. Season 1 was a pretty big download, with 40 GB or more. However, it also included the complete new Pacific map Caldera and the new Vanguard game modes. Season 2 should therefore be a little more compact again. By the way, you can read everything important about the map here in our guide:

Weapons: Which ones are new?

Of course, Season 2 continues to stock up the armoury of Warzone and Vanguard. This time even with three new guns and a melee weapon:

  • KG M40: New Assault Rifle available at the start of the season
  • Whitley: One of the first War MGs will also be available at the Season launch
  • Ice Pick (during the Season) : Misused, this tool is also good for knocking down Operators in close combat
  • Armaguerra 43 (during the Season) : SMG that you either unlock through a challenge or buy as a bundle

Map: What’s changing on Caldera?

With Season 2, new locations are added to the Pacific map: the chemical factory and underground labs.

Chemical Factory: It replaces the facility between the mines and docks where phosphate was previously processed. Instead, the combat gas Nebula V is now produced here. The layout, however, remains very similar to before, you can still wade through the river. Don’t be put off by the green colour, I’m sure the stuff is completely harmless.

Underground Labs: There are a total of seven secret labs spread across Caldera, marked in yellow on your map. Watch out, there is valuable loot and good cover here, but only one entrance at a time – so the facilities can easily become death traps.

Gameplay: What gameplay innovations are coming?

New vehicles: In Verdansk there were already motorbikes and armoured trucks. They are now returning with a WW2 touch, but according to the roadmap only for multiplayer. Instead, a special event with heavy transporters awaits you in Warzone, read more about it below.

New aircraft: The leaks were right, a new bomber will take to the skies over Caldera in Season 2. Most excitingly, these planes can destroy loadout drops and anti-aircraft guns! You can really spoil your opponents’ day with them. But beware of the smaller, more manoeuvrable planes that target you.

Redeploy Balloons: You already know this from PUBG, now you can also let balloons carry you into the sky in Warzone. The redeploy points can be seen flashing on the map. You hook up to a zipline, soar upwards and then sail comfortably over the island with your parachute, just like jumping off to start a round. However, the balloons can be destroyed, which can give you a rough crash.

By the way, an announced change to the loadouts caused a streamer to immortalise Raven Software’s logo on his butt:

Event: What’s behind Search & Deploy?

Here again, the leaks were spot on: Season 2 has a special event coming up that revolves around combat gas and truck convoys. The thickly armoured vehicles roll inexorably across the map, much like the Verdansk train. They carry Nebula V and shoot at any operator who gets too close.

Why should you take them on anyway? Because a destroyed truck drops really valuable loot, sometimes even one of the new Nebula bombs that envelop an area in deadly gas for two minutes.

The future of Warzone: Just recently, several well-known and well-informed insiders claimed that CoD Warzone will surprisingly get a sequel soon. According to this, Warzone 2 will be a game all of its own. How many big changes will be made to the Battle Royale before that? Stay up to date with us.

What’s new in CoD Vanguard?

Season 2 of course also brings a lot of innovations for the multiplayer and zombie mode of the current main game. A quick overview:

  • Two new maps: The mid-sized Casablanca (Morocco) and the also mid-sized Gondola map, where you can, well, ride a gondola.
  • New Perks: Armory is the counter perk to Engineer, Mechanic provides a buff to field equipment.
  • New Killstreak: Use the Ball Turret Gunner to fire at the map from the air for 30 seconds, dealing massive damage. Unlocked with 12 kills in a row and is correspondingly powerful
  • Zombies: New hub map, new arenas, a new artifact power and two “wonder weapons” – the neglected zombie mode gets more meat in Season 2.
