CALL of Duty Season 2 is about to begin – and we’ve got all the details.
The major Cold War and Warzone update lands this week, and it’s adding loads of new content.
Call of Duty seasons are major events, introducing new storylines, as well as maps, weapons, modes and more.
The latest is 2021 Season 2, and arrives on Thursday, February 25.
There’s a new story that takes Frank Woods to Laos, where he previously visited with Alex Mason in the original Black Ops.
Now Woods is on the hunt for Adler, who has been mysteriously abducted.
The season introduces four new Operators.
They include former Laotian warlord Kapano ‘Naga’ Vang, Zombies star Samantha Maxis, skilled hunter and Delta Force sniper Terrell Wolf, and Nicaraguan guerrilla warfare master expert Karla Rivas.
There are six new weapons, including:
- Fara 83 assault rifle
- LC10 SMG
- Machete
- E-Tool
- R1 Shadowhunter crossbow
- ZRG 20 sniper rifle
There’s a new Zombies experience called Outbreak.
It’s a large-scale mode across giant play areas in the Ural Mountains.
A new Field Upgrade called Frenzied Guard has been added for Zombies too.
All enemies will attack it for a brief period, only causing damage to Armour.
Four Multiplayer maps are being added too:
- Apocalypse 6v6 – Laos jungle cartel base, small-to-medium size
- Golova multi-team – traditional Russian village
- Mansion 2v2, 3v3 – The Hefe Mansion in Havana, Cuba
- Miami Strike 6v6 – A daytime version of the existing Miami map
There are three new modes, including Gun Game (FFA), Stockpile 6v6, and Hardpoint (Multi-Team).
New challenges, vehicles and prestige levels have also been added.
And for Warzone, there are new points of interest, including a new cargo tanker…and something “major” and mysterious underground.
The new update will go live on February 24 between 9pm and 11pm PT, or between 5am and 7am on February 25 in the UK.
In other news, Trending In The News’s favourite alternative to a games console is the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset.
Grab a VR headset and you’ll be able to play the legendary Beat Saber – like Guitar Hero, but with lightsabers.
And Dell’s Alienware R10 Ryzen Edition is a gaming PC powerhouse that crushes both the new consoles.
