Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific will soon be receiving another massive content drop with Season 2, so here’s everything we know including its patch notes, release date and time, content, and map changes, and more.

Warzone underwent a major change with the Pacific update, receiving all of Vanguard’s weapons on an entirely new map – Caldera. Season 2 has brought even more changes to the Call of Duty battle royale, bringing new weapons, map changes, and plenty of new gadgets.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Warzone Pacific Season 2 update, including its patch notes, release date, time, map changes, new weapons, and more.

Warzone Pacific Season 2 release date & time

Warzone underground lab

Warzone Pacific Season 2 released February 14, 2022, at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM GMT after being delayed to give the devs more time to “balance and optimize your current gameplay experience.”

The update is now live on all platforms, so players can enjoy all of the new content listed below.

Warzone Season 2 map changes

Warzone chemical factory poi

The Season 2 update of Warzone Pacific will alter a few of Caldera’s POIs. For starters, “the refinery between the Mines and Docks that once produced phosphate has been repurposed and is now a newly constructed plant spewing out Nebula V,” called Chemical Factory.

Players will also be able to access underground Chemical Weapon Research Labs across Caldera. Of course, if you make your way to one of these labs you’ll benefit from some rare loot if you make it out alive.

New weapons arrive in Warzone Pacific Season 2

Four new weapons will be making their way to Warzone Pacific during Season 2, “Unlock the KG M40 Assault Rifle and Whitley LMG on day one through the Battle Pass; then prepare to add the Ice Axe and a prototypical SMG as you settle into Season Two.”

The Armaguerra 43 SMG will arrive later and it boasts an incredibly high rate of fire. New weapons often shake up the existing Warzone meta so make sure to test these out when they arrive.

Warzone Bren and MP40 nerfed

MP40 in CoD Warzone

Vanguard’s Bren and MP40 have been dominating Caldera for almost the entirety of Season 1, and the Season 2 update has nerfed these powerful weapons.

The Bren’s damage has been decreased when hitting the chest and limbs, and the MP40 has had its effective range reduced. Plus, popular attachments have also been hit with nerfs.

Here are the Bren and MP40 changes from the patch notes, but you can check out the full list further down:

  • Light Machine Gun Charlie (VG)
    • Left Upper Arm Multiplier decreased to 1, down from 1.1
    • Lower Torso Multiplier decreased to 1, down from 1.1
    • Right Upper Arm Multiplier decreased to 1, down from 1.1
  • Submachine Gun Charlie (VG)
    • Maximum Damage Range decreased to 422, down from 473
    • Mid Damage Range decreased to 600, down from 612

EVENTS

Search and Deploy Event Banner

The source of Nebula V production has been identified. Operators may infiltrate at their own risk.

This Event is split into several phases that will roll out over the coming weeks. With launch, Players can expect to see:

  • The new Caldera Clash Limited-time Mode
  • Explorable POIs including the Chemical Factory and various underground Chemical Weapon Research Labs
  • Enemy AI threats defending the new POIs
  • New gameplay elements including the Portable Decontamination Station and Nebula V rounds
  • And much more to come!

MODES

Generic Action Shot

This new take on Clash pits two teams of up to 48 Operators in a Deathmatch with wild events and power-ups. Operators drop in with their Custom Loadout, which can have any weapons from all three Chapters, and a Field Upgrade. Each kill earns their team a point, with the first team to reach a set number of points, or the team that has the most points when the time limit expires, claiming victory for their massive faction.

Caldera Clash features:

  • Two new events: 
    • Double Point zones
    • Bonus Point crates
  • Power Zones
    • An event for that can occur instead of the final C Domination Point
    • All kills are worth 2x inside of this zone
    • 100% chance that players drop power ups when they die inside of them
    • Initial spawn of cash and other items at the start of the event
  • Point Crates
    • Six Point Crates will drop across the center of the arena.
    • Each Point Crate is worth 10 Points for capturing.
    • They also spawn Nebula V rounds, cash and some power weapons when they are captured.
  • Three Power-Ups
  • Contracts
  • Buy Stations
  • Domination Capture
  • 6 hand-chosen POI’s where the arena of Clash will take place within Caldera.
  • Added an all new post-game scoreboard to celebrate the highest scorers within each team.

The fan favorite mode, “Iron Trials”, makes a glorious return – this time to Rebirth Island!

At its core, Rebirth Iron Trials is a Battle Royale game mode — the last team standing wins, the Circle Collapse shrinks the playable area to promote engagements, and those who die earlier in the game have a chance to respawn if they win a duel in the Rebirth Island Gulag.

However, Iron Trials brings numerous fundamental changes to this traditional Battle Royale formula. All of them are meant to give players the chance to prove themselves as truly elite Operators — which we will detail in future notes closer to the mode going live on March 3rd.

In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek at the Calling Card reward!

Iron Trials Calling Card Reward


Caldera Resurgence (In-Season)

The Resurgence game mode we all know and love returns to Caldera, now with unrestricted access to all Operators and Weapon Loadouts alongside additional improvements – which we will detail in future notes closer to the mode going live on March 23rd.

BATTLE ROYALE ADJUSTMENTS

We’re stripping Battle Royale down and moving back to basics for Season Two. We want Battle Royale and Vanguard Royale to each have their own distinct identities. To achieve this, we are focusing-in on what makes these rulesets unique… the tools we provide our players, the pacing, the objectives, etc.

Here is an overview of the changes Players can expect to see:

  • Public Events
    • The Public Events that will be in rotation for selection are:
      • Supply Choppers
      • Fire Sale
      • Jailbreak
      • No Public Events will activate during the infil sequence
  • Contracts
    • The Contracts that will be in rotation during matches are:
      • Recon
      • Bounty
      • Most Wanted
      • Scavenger
      • Supply Run
  • Loot
    • Economy rebalance
    • Ground Weapons update

We’ve been really happy with the response and feedback to Vanguard Royale, with a lot of the sentiment emphasizing how the mode feels fresh and different from the core Battle Royale experience. With that said, we want to go all in on these differentiators and spread the two modes out to offer more variety in how Players choose to experience Warzone.

  • Loadout Drops
    • Expedited the first Loadout Drop event from the start of the 2nd Circle to when the 1st Circle begins to close in Vanguard Royale only. 
    • No Stun Grenades in Loadouts (restricted)
    • Thermites allowed in Loadouts (unrestricted)
  • Public Events
    • The duration of Fire Sale has been reduced
    • In rotation:
      • Fire Sale
    • Jailbreak
      • Resurgence
      • Restock
      • Cash Drops
      • Heavy Weapon Drops
  • Loot
    • Dead Silence removed from ground loot
    • Stun Grenades removed from ground loot
    • Thermites added to ground loot
    • UAVs added to Ground Loot
    • Economy rebalance
    • Ground weapons rebalance
  • UAV Changes
    • UAVs removed from the Buy Station
    • UAVs are available as Contract Rewards

GENERAL

Before we dive into specific Gameplay additions and changes, we want to outline some changes that apply across the entire game:

  • An increase has been applied to Weapon XP earn rates. 
  • Vanguard Weapons can be saved as a “Custom Mod” in Loadouts.
  • The 5 default Loadouts have been updated.
  • The amount of cash Players gather through loot has decreased overall.

GAMEPLAY

Image of deploy balloon

    • These enable Players to reposition themselves tactically to traverse to new areas. These can be destroyed or repaired for a minor fee. Side note, we recommend steering clear if you’re flying nearby.
Image of the new chemical factory

    • These new A.I. units can be found at various new locations including in the guard towers that surround the new Chemical Factory and underground labs.
Image of Decontamination Station

Image of Nebula V ammunition crate
  • Nebula V Rounds
    • This new ammunition gives players the ability to kill enemies and leave behind a small gas cloud that can be used with any weapon type for multiple interesting combinations.
Image of operator shooting at armored convoy
  • Armored Convoys (In-Season)
    • Patrolling Caldera, these Armored Transport Trucks represent a new mobile loot cache opportunity, and are shown on the Tac Map when active.
Image of operator planting nebula v bomb
  • Nebula V Bombs (In-Season)
    • One of the rarest items in Warzone, this is a locked briefcase full of deadly gas with an explosive charge. This bomb will detonate after a fixed countdown and cannot be disarmed or destroyed. Its initial explosion deals a high amount of damage in a small radius before the gas spreads outward, where it will hurt any Operator without a Gas Mask. The gas lingers for two minutes before ultimately dispersing or feeding into the oncoming Circle Collapse.

  • Gasoline Canister
    • Will no longer detonate when hit by a Stun grenade
    • Can now be thrown through glass windows
    • Players are less likely to accidentally pick them up
    • Kill damage zone is reduced with the addition of fall-off damage
  • Gulag

  • The prompt for dropping a single armor plate now says “Drop Single” instead of “Drop Stack”.

  • KG M40: Assault Rifle (VG)
    • Workhorse assault rifle. Naturally steady and accurate.

A tip for parsing the following changes: An attribute can increase and be detrimental, or decrease and be beneficial. While considering the below changes, it is recommended to focus on the “down from” or “up from” language.

“Down from” will always indicate a negative effect, while “up from” will always be positive. 

All Vanguard Weapons have had their Ballistics behavior adjusted to more closely match MW and BOCW Weapons.

» Assault Rifle «

  • Assault Rifle Alpha (VG)
    • ADS Speed decreased to .26, down from .255
  • C58 (BOCW)
    • Recoil Deviation increased
    • Recoil Magnitude increased
  • Volkssturmgewehr (VG)
    • ADS Speed decreased to .265, down from .26

» Handgun «

  • Klauser (VG)
    • Bullet Velocity increased to 390, up from 353
  • Machine Pistol (VG)
    • Mid Damage increased to 16, up from 15
  • Top Break (VG)
    • Bullet Velocity increased to 399, up from 360
    • Max Damage Range increased to 925, up from 800
    • Mid Damage increased to 34, up from 30
    • Min Damage increased to 26, up from 24

» Light Machine Gun «

  • DP27 (VG)
    • Lower Torso Multiplier decreased to 1, down from 1.1
  • Light Machine Gun Charlie (VG)
    • Left Upper Arm Multiplier decreased to 1, down from 1.1
    • Lower Torso Multiplier decreased to 1, down from 1.1
    • Right Upper Arm Multiplier decreased to 1, down from 1.1

» Marksman Rifle «

  • M1 Garand (VG)
    • Recoil behavior adjusted

» Sniper Rifle «

  • 3-Line Rifle (VG)
    • ADS Speed increased to .517, down from .5
    • ADS Movement Speed increased by 27.1%
    • Gun Bob decreased
    • Movement Speed increased by 3.7%
    • Neck Damage Multiplier increased to 1.6, up from 1.5
  • Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle (VG)
    • ADS Speed increased to .66, up from .7
  • Kar98k (VG)
    • ADS Speed decreased to .455, down from .29

There are two parts which comprise the Stats of the Kar98k (VG): the Weapon and the Base Optic. In the case of the Kar98k (VG), much of its ADS Speed stats were coming from its Optics. We have decided to take that ADS Speed and spread it out more evenly amongst its Attachments. The end result is a more consistent range of ADS Speeds that will not vary as wildly depending on the Optic alone. When considering the changes made to Optics and other Attachments, this results in a net increase to the Kar98k’s (VG) ADS Speeds. See the Optics section for additional details.

  • Type 99 (VG)
    • ADS Speed increased to .48, up from .58
    • Gun Bob decreased

» Submachine Gun «

  • Submachine Gun Charlie (VG)
    • Maximum Damage Range decreased to 422, down from 473
    • Mid Damage Range decreased to 600, down from 612
  • Type 100 (VG)
    • Gun Kick adjusted
  • Welgun (VG)
    • Maximum Damage Range decreased to 525, down from 581
    • Mid Damage Range decreased to 734, down from 778

ATTACHMENTS

General

  • Cleared up Pro, Con, and Stat Bar inconsistencies for most Vanguard Attachments.
     

» Ammunition «

  • Incendiary (VG)
    • Base Burn Damage decreased to 6, down from 9
    • No longer decreases Damage Range by 5%
    • Now decreases Damage by 10% (3% for Sniper Rifles)

Trading damage now for damage later will have many Players still equipped with Incendiary wondering why they lost an even, or slightly advantaged fight. For now, Incendiary will provide a niche use on specific Weapons where shots are intermittently hit, or fire is unreturned. Players with above average aim will want to find a new type of Ammunition to lock and load.

  • Lengthened (VG)
    • Bullet Velocity increased by 10%, down from 30%

As a result of Lengthened’s monopoly over Bullet Velocity on Vanguard (VG) Attachments, build diversity and Weapon viability has taken a hit. By shifting this Bullet Velocity into a wider variety of Attachments, we are aiming to provide more viable builds and meaningful choice within this category.

Lengthened aside, we have further changes coming to increase diversity in the Ammunition category. These changes will ensure the category fulfills more of a playstyle supplemental role for builds rather than a necessary enabler.

As a whole, Vanguard Weapons have been lacking in Bullet Velocity when compared to the competition. We felt it was necessary to provide more Bullet Velocity to VG Weapons so they could compete more consistently in long-range engagements. To remedy this, we have added Bullet Velocity to most VG Barrels.
