Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone Season 2 Starts Next Week

Call of Duty: Vanguard Season 2 and Warzone’s iteration are just around the corner. Announced today with a spiffy cinematic trailer and a detailed blog post, the new season for COD starts on February 14, and changes touch every piece of multiplayer. Even Zombies.

The trailer with Fireteam Yeti shows that Warzone’s new big additions are the armored vehicles, such as the tanks and deadly poisonous gases Nebula V. First is through Nebula V ammo, a new ammo type that can be picked up for small arms weapons. It doesn’t do any additional damage compared to stock bullets but unleashes the toxin into the air when the target dies. The effects of the cloud are very similar to Battle Royale’s collapse. Over time, vision will become blurred and players will sustain damage.

Nebula V can also be purchased in bomb forms, just like the trailer. A very special briefcase can be purchased that contains the explosive. Once it is set, players can activate its detonation sequence. Once the bomb is set off, it cannot be disarmed or deactivated. So use your briefcase wisely to get out of Dodge. Portable Decontamination Units are a new Field Equipment also being added that can disperse areas of the Nebula V gas and neutralize its effects.

Other new additions included armored transport trucks, a chemical factory, underground chemical research labs, bomber planes, and redeployment balloons which let you zip into the air and parachute to a nearby spot on the island. This is a great tool! 

Two new maps for Vanguard multiplayer are Casablanca (medium-sized three-lane stage) and Gondola (large-size two-lane stage). A new killstreak, new perks, and sometime in the season, the new mode Arms Race, as well as the introduction of vehicles to Vanguard multiplayer, will be introduced.

Terra Maledicta introduces a desert-like Egyptian setting to Zombies’ new Terra Maledicta experience. The COD blog also says, “Gateways to new arenas will open, including the Dark Aether itself in an entirely new location for Vanguard Zombies.” There are a ton of new Zombies changes including a new Healing Aura that starts as a basic team heal and can be ranked up to eventually revive your entire team when in a tough spot. 

Call of Duty: Vanguard fans will be pleased to know that there are many new features in store for them. On Valentine’s Day, the updated will be available on all platforms COD Warzone and COD Vanguard.
