Exciting News: Verdansk Returns to Call of Duty: Warzone Early on April 2

Surprise! The highly anticipated return of the iconic Verdansk map in Call of Duty: Warzone is set to launch a full day earlier than expected, now arriving on April 2. This is exciting news for fans who have been eagerly awaiting its return!

Temporary Downtime Following Launch

However, there’s an important caveat to this announcement. Following the launch of the new season, Warzone will experience a complete offline period for 24 hours. Players can expect the game to be unavailable starting in the afternoon (US time) on April 2, with a return projected around noon ET on April 3. Fortunately, Black Ops 6 will remain online during this downtime.

Return of Classic Weapons and Features

In addition to the return of Verdansk, the recent COD POD announcement revealed that classic Warzone weapons from 2020 will also make a comeback. This includes the CR-56 AMAX and Kilo 141 assault rifles, the HDR sniper rifle, and the melee-oriented kali sticks. Plus, players who access the Warzone tab during the downtime will receive the Kilo for free—definitely a bonus!

Enhanced Movement Mechanics

Updates to movement and pacing within Warzone are also on the way. A fresh version of “omnimovement,” specifically tuned for the game, is being introduced to align more closely with its original mechanics. Activision is working to revert several controversial changes made to the battle royale experience since 2021.

Additionally, classic vehicles will return, and redeploy balloons will be removed to alter mobility across the map. The handling and damage of vehicles have undergone a “complete rebalance,” aiming to restore the vehicle control and maneuverability to the levels players experienced back in 2020.

Reviving the Nostalgic Pandemic Era Experience

It looks like Activision is striving to recapture the beloved pandemic-era Warzone experience, now enhanced with quality-of-life updates. Players can expect powerful default loadouts featuring newly introduced weapons. However, whether these updates will effectively address the persistent cheating and hacking problems that have plagued the game for years remains to be seen.

What’s New in Season Three of Black Ops 6

The excitement for the gaming community doesn’t stop here! Season three of Black Ops 6 is launching on April 2, featuring a brand new Zombies map titled Shattered Veil. Players can also look forward to new multiplayer maps, operators, a battle pass, and a wealth of additional content.
