Call of Duty: Warzone Season 1 begins on November 6 with Hajin and Zodiac maps, a level reset, new terrain gear, and Modern Warfare 4 weapons.
Call of Duty: Warzone Season 1 goes live at midnight ET on November 6 (9:00 p.m. PT on November 5), adding two new maps and integrating content from Modern Warfare 4, Steam News reported in the official season recap.
Hajin, the new Battle Royale map, is the first in Call of Duty: Warzone taking place on the Korean Peninsula. Zodiac, a compact map from Resurgence, is built around a drone factory in South Korea.
Two new cards, two returning
Hajin covers North and South Korea across 13 major points of interest. The city of Hajin has imposing buildings and fortified roads, while the farmlands of Imjin are open terrain suitable for long-range combat.
North of the border are the 14th Political Prison, Chang-san Air Base, and Deadtown.
The weather varies from clear skies to fog, wind, and rain, and the map features two Gulag variants where eliminated players fight 1v1 to redeploy.
Zodiac focuses on the DRC Advanced Systems drone assembly and manufacturing headquarters and has ten points of interest, including Admin, Trackline and Furnace.
Trains cross a double track at Trackline and underground tunnels allow crews to move beneath the factory. Beenox developed it with Infinity Ward.
Verdansk and Rebirth Island both return later in the season.
New equipment and mechanics
The Zipline Launcher is a field upgrade that fires anchors and creates a zipline that the entire team can use, enemies included. Players can fire a gun while driving it.
The Grabber Drone can lift loot, fuel barrels, and downed teammates, although its battery is limited.
Weapon upgrades are available at Fly Buy Buy stations once drones have crossed the map.
The three at launch are CQC, Marksman, and Handling, each enhancing a different set of aiming, recoil, and reloading traits for that matchup.
Three elite perks, Athletics, Ghost, and Fieldcraft, can be found during matches and add a fourth perk slot.
Tactical Sprint no longer requires advantage, although its duration is slightly shorter. Players can also drag their allies while reviving them.
Progression and Legacy Weapons
Player level is reset at launch, with optional prestige shared between multiplayer, DMZ, and Warzone.
All 33 Modern Warfare 4 launch weapons are available, each with Weapon Prestige and Warzone Mastery camos.
Weapons from Modern Warfare II to Black Ops 7 can be found in a Legacy tab.
They cannot be modified in Gunsmith and do not support mastery camos, reticle challenges, weapon customization, cosmetic armory, or build codes.
Each Legacy base weapon comes with five attachments, and Legacy blueprints begin to be locked and unlocked via player XP in the Armory.
The Call of Duty blog adds that Warzone will also launch on Nintendo Switch 2 with Season 1.
Launch Modes and Mid-Season Additions
Battle Royale takes place on Hajin and Verdansk, and Resurgence runs on Zodiac and Rebirth Island, each with a Casual variant. Three limited-time modes are coming at launch.
- Rallying point is a circleless Zodiac training ground for up to 20 players, with an exclusive layout and two camouflages.
- Massive resurgence puts 120 players on Hajin.
- Charged Resurgence can accommodate 44 players on Zodiac or Rebirth Island, with players deploying with equipment of their choice.
Extreme Resurgence and Rockets and Snipers arrive at midseason.
