Season Two Brings Armored War Machines to Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone – Xbox Wire

The latest intel coming out of Caldera looks dire. In Season Two of Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone , a new chemical weapon, Nebula V, has been uncovered, threatening the balance of power between the Axis and Allied forces. It’ll take everything you have to set things right.

Season Two launches on Xbox on February 14 and comes packed with new content, including new weapons, maps, game modes, Operators, and more. Let’s get to it.

Get More in the Season Two Battle Pass

To face off against a threat this big, you’ll need all the help you can get. The Season Two Battle Pass has what you need, including 100 Tiers of new content. Here are some highlights:

KG M40 Assault Rifle: Adopted by Scandinavian armies during the war, the KG M40 is a high-caliber, fully automatic weapon with plenty of flexibility via Gunsmith.

Whitley LMG: The Whitley represents one of the first machine guns ever used in warfare, rivaling its Battle Pass peer for a strong mid- to long-range tool across all three game modes.

The Battle Pass also brings a new Killstreak, Lethal Equipment, and two new Perks: Armory and Mechanic. Rain down bullets from above using the Ball Turret Gunner, and stick enemies with the classic Sticky Bomb. For Perks, Armory makes your equipment immune to the Engineer Perk, while Mechanic charges your Field Upgrades more quickly.

Purchase the Season Two Battle Pass to get Task Force Yeti Operator Anna Drake instantly at Tier 0. Appearing later in the Store are the other two Yeti Operators, Thomas Bolt and Gustavo Dos Santos.

Later in the season, earn two more weapons – the Ice Ax and Armaguerra 43 SMG – by completing their in-game challenges or by purchasing their corresponding Store Bundles.

Warzone: Nebula V Armaments, New POIs and Game Modes

Nebula V: Turn the Nebula V chemical weapon to your own purposes. Discover Nebula V Ammo, which causes downed enemies to emit a poisonous gas cloud, making it harder for their teammates to revive them. Plant Nebula V Bombs, which upon completion of its countdown will emit high damage in a small radius, followed by a lingering gas cloud.

Decontamination Station: This new portable Field Upgrade momentarily filters the air, protecting anyone inside from the Circle Collapse or Nebula V gas. Note that all Operators will see its deployed position on the Tac Map.

Armored Transports: These steel behemoths move through the island while attacking anyone within their immediate vicinity. Take one out for high-value loot, including, if you’re lucky, an intact Nebula V Bomb.

New Points of Interest: The refinery between the Mines and Docks that once produced phosphate has been repurposed and is now a newly constructed Chemical Factory spewing out Nebula V. Also uncover powerful loot in one of seven Chemical Weapon Research Labs built underground by the Axis and guarded by their soldiers.

Bomber Planes and Redeploy Balloons: Take to the skies in the Bomber, a formidable air-to-ground striker capable of leveling infantry and vehicles. Zipline up to a Redeploy Balloon, and then reposition by leaping off and deploying your parachute to cover great distances.

New game modes are coming, too. Caldera Clash pits two teams of up to 48 Operators against each other in a Deathmatch with wild events and power-ups. The first team to 500 points wins the match. Rebirth Iron Trials is custom-made for competitive duos, featuring its own set of weaponry and numerous rule changes. Later in the season, expect some major changes to surface on Rebirth Island.

Multiplayer: Two New Maps and Ranked Mode

Deploy to two new Multiplayer maps – Casablanca and Gondola – and prove your skill with the debut of Ranked Mode.

Casablanca (Launch): The shining jewel of Morocco, Casablanca is a medium-sized, three-lane-style map located within a bustling marketplace. Expect a variety of vertical engagements that invite combat at all ranges.

Gondola (Launch): Take a trip on the Gondola to travel above a large gulch and fire watchtower. Utilize the long sightlines this gondola route provides, or head through the power plant and caves for more close-quarters battle.

Season Two additionally kicks off Ranked Mode alongside the start of the 2022 Call of Duty League. This competitive Multiplayer mode features league-approved rules, visible Skill Ratings, and new competitive rewards among other innovations.

Zombies: New Characters, Wonder Weapons, Arena and Quest

The Dark Aether entities continue their supernatural war through the mortal world, bringing new changes to Vanguard Zombies.

New Hub Map: “Der Anfang” was just the beginning. Krafft and company take the fight to Von List in “Terra Maledicta,” a new Zombies experience set in Egypt’s Eastern Desert and abroad. Battle in new arenas as you attempt to obtain a lost page from the Tome of Rituals.

New Ally and Artifact: Vercanna the Last is the latest Dark Aether entity to lend her powers of to the battle against Von List and Kortifex. Keep your allies on their feet with her Healing Aura ability, featuring five tiers with increasing power.

Zaballa the Deceiver: An evil charlatan with a devious sense of humor, Zaballa hides her true face behind three masks. Encounter her by braving multiple rounds in “Der Anfang” or “Terra Maledicta.”

The Return of Wonder Weapons: Through exploration, elite skill, and perhaps some divine intervention, operators can wield Wonder Weapons, energy-based arms with mysterious origins and herculean effects in battle. Wield the classic Ray Gun, found in the Mystery Box or as a lucky loot drop, or the new Decimator Shield, found exclusively within “Terra Maledicta.”

New Objective, Story Quest: Disrupt a gruesome Dark Aether blood-magic ceremony in the new Sacrifice objective and complete a special Story Quest in “Terra Maledicta” to learn more about Vercanna the Last. Plus, side Easter Eggs are returning: Pick up a shovel and find hidden loot and more in the Eastern Desert.

New Covenant: Equip the new Artifact Ward Covenant for a chance to trigger your Artifact for free when hit by a melee attack from behind. Three rarity levels improve the chances of activating your Artifact when struck.
