Call of Duty: Warzone adds ‘hardest mode EVER’

CALL of Duty: Wazone’s Season 5 Reloaded update is coming this week and it brings the “toughest Battle Royale mode ever” with it.

Players that fancy themselves as a top tier operator can look forward to putting their money where their mouth is in the Iron Trials ’84.

If you take on the challenge and emerge victorious, you’ll bag yourself an exclusive Calling Card.

Iron Trials is detailed in the Call of Duty blog and tells players that the new mode will give them the opportunity to show off their skills.

“Flex your mastery over the entire arsenal of weapons, prove you can handle any firefight with any type of armament, and earn an exclusive Calling Card to prove your mettle.”

The parameters of the game have been tweaked to make Iron Trials ’84 a challenge.

There’s no free loadouts, base health and regen have been adjusted which will impact TTK, and the Gulag is going to be gruelling, thanks to the new stipulations added.

We’re also in for a few more changes, that haven’t been specified but sound interesting nonetheless.

That includes changes to “environmental elements” as well as “a variety of important aspects,” designed to impact the WZ experience.

Classified weapons also look set to drop, although again, details are vague right now.

Iron Trials ’84

  • Health and Regeneration:
    • Increased base health
    • Change to regen
    • This is set to affect the feel of combat, time to kill, weapon, Perk, and Equipment viability as the entire game is effectively altered
  •  Loadouts:
    • Loadout drops have been removed
    • Players will need to purchase preferred weaponry
    • Buy Station cost has increased
