Raven Software has teased a new Pacific island map due to arrive in Call of Duty: Warzone later this year alongside Sledgehammer’s Vanguard, due to arrive on November 5. While the new map isn’t guaranteed for the same day, it’s coming before the end of the year. In the meantime, Black Ops Cold War Warzone Season 5 Reloaded has gone live, bringing a new game mode and tweaks to Verdansk.The upcoming new island map will feature completely new points of interest that include lush jungles, sunny beaches, underground caves complete with waterfalls, a volcano (it looks dormant but anything can happen), and a town environment. The map will arrive in Warzone later this year and you can take a brief look for yourself:We are going to THE PACIFICA new #Warzone map will launch later this year!More to come soon…pack sunscreen. pic.twitter.com/BWE6Ik7KHA— Call of Duty (@CallofDuty) September 7, 2021For now, Season 5 Reloaded has arrived.

It is suspected that they will soon begin amplifying the “Dragovich Program” tapes – A.K.A. the Numbers broadcasts – across the region.Red DoorsWe’ve received reports of new, unusual activity in the Red Door rooms. Operators have been asked to investigate.GeneralGameplayLoot that spawns across Verdansk has been adjusted as follows…New Gulag loadoutsNew pre-match loadoutsNew ground and Supply Box lootBug FixesFixed a visual issue causing Player models to appear to have two left hands after free falling with any akimbo Weapon equipped.Fixed additional collision issues with various elements across Verdansk allowing Players to exploit/peek/shoot through them.Fixed collision issues with various elements across both Verdansk and Rebirth Island that allowed Loadout Drops to fall through them.Fixed an issue causing Players to not receive the squad wipe notification when finishing the last member of an enemy squad.Fixed an issue causing Players to remain stuck in the blank tablet screen while using the RC-XD Killstreak.Fixed an issue causing the audio for certain Finishing Moves to not play properly.Fixed an issue causing Thermite damage to persist upon redeployment after exiting the Gulag.Fixed an issue where a Bounty Contract would display placeholder text.Fixed an issue where a Squad Wipe wouldn’t count if the last enemy was holding a Self-Revive.Fixed an issue where Players could regenerate Armor Plates while using the Tempered perk.Fixed an issue where Revive and Self-Revive times were incorrect in Private Matches.Fixed an issue where some Calling Cards were displaying placeholder text.Fixed an issue where trying to customize Reticles would send Players back to the Main Menu.Fixed incorrect Blueprint labeling of various Attachments in the Gunsmith Customs.Fixed the Reticle alignment for the Swiss K31 (BOCW) “Roman Standard” Blueprint.Fixed the visual scaling of the Swiss K31 (BOCW) Diamond Camo.Fixed various issues causing the inspect animation on some Blueprints to not work properly.WeaponsNew WeaponSai: Melee (BOCW)During The Numbers Limited-Time Event starting Sept. 21, those who complete all nine challenges within Warzone or Black Ops Cold War will receive this new functional melee Weapon.Weapon ChangesWhile assessing the power level of BOCW Weapons, we have observed some disparities between ease of use and efficacy. The Krig 6 (BOCW) has shown an impressive performance at just about every engagement range. While we believe it is important to have a wide array of Weapons which can be utilized by players of all skill levels — it is critical to the health of the game that their effectiveness scales appropriately with the skill required to wield them. If players can be as effective with a Weapon that is pinpoint accurate that has a marginally slower Time to Kill potential than the hardest to wield Weapons, why would they choose another? As we continue to address these Weapons, we will also be making adjustments to BOCW attachments that offer Recoil Control. We feel these changes will provide a fairer, more diverse long-range landscape.Assault RiflesC58 (BOCW)EM2 (BOCW)Base Optic eye position retractedAssault Rifle Bravo (MW)Upper Torso Multiplier decreased from 1.1 to 1Groza (BOCW)Sprint to Fire Speed increased by 15%Krig 6 (BOCW)Maximum Damage decreased from 30 to 29Mid Damage now 25Minimum Damage decreased from 25 to 23Weapon Kick adjustedLight Machine GunsLight Machine Gun Alpha (BOCW)Recoil increased slightlyTactical RiflesTactical Rifle Charlie (BOCW)DMR 14 (BOCW)M16 (BOCW)Type 63 (BOCW)Headshot Multiplier decreased from 2.1 to 1.58Neck Multiplier increased from 1.2 to 1.58Upper Torso Multiplier decreased from 1.2 to 1Lower Torso Multiplier decreased from 1.1 to 1Weapon Kick decreasedSubmachine GunsSubmachine Gun Charlie (MW) with 10mm Auto 30-Round MagsMaximum Damage decreased from 34 to 31OTs 9 (BOCW)Maximum Damage Range decreased by 6.2%PPSh-41 (BOCW)Weapon Kick adjustedADS Sway adjustedSniper RiflesSwiss K31 (BOCW)ZRG 20mm (BOCW)AttachmentsBarrelsAssault RiflesRanger/Liberator/GRU CompositeVertical Recoil Control decreased from 10% to 8%Reinforced Heavy/VDV Reinforced/ContourHorizontal Recoil Control decreased from 5% to 4%Vertical Recoil Control decreased from 5% to 4%Takedown/Contour M2Horizontal Recoil Control decreased from 10% to 8%Task Force/Spetsnaz RPK/CMV Mil-SpecHorizontal Recoil Control decreased from 10% to 8%Vertical Recoil Control decreased from 10% to 8%Light Machine GunsMatch GradeHorizontal Recoil Control decreased from 5% to 4%Vertical Recoil Control decreased from 5% to 4%Task ForceHorizontal Recoil Control decreased from 10% to 8%Vertical Recoil Control decreased from 10% to 8%Tactical RiflesDMR 14 (BOCW)16.3” TitaniumDamage Range decrease reduced from 25% to 20%Rate of Fire increase reduced from 16.7% to 15%Rear GripsAssault RiflesGroza (BOCW)Serpent GripADS Speed increase reduced from 9% to 7%OperatorsNew OperatorHudson: NATO (In-Season)Get Hudson as part of an upcoming Store Bundle, to be released following the launch of Season Five Reloaded.Judge Dredd (In-Season)A limited-time Tracer Pack: Judge Dredd Store Bundle will include:Two Legendary Beck Skins:“Judge Dredd”“Comic Strip”Three Weapon Blueprints:“Quick Judgement” Submachine Gun“Arbitrator Rifle” Assault Rifle“Lawgiver” HandgunOne Finishing Move:One Weapon Charm:One Wrist Accessory:One Animated Calling CardOne Animed EmblemStoreChemical Reaction Pro Pack (In-Season)Available later this season for $19.99 USD (or your regional equivalent), this is a seven-item Bundle built for those looking for a better bond with victory.
