MW3 & Warzone CODMAS event start & end date

The CODMAS event arrived in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone on December 19 and it will come to a close on January 3 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 4 PM GMT.

Slay Ride Resurgence Warzone LTM

Warzone’s CODMAS event will bring Slay Ride Resurgence, a “Holiday-themed take on Resurgence,” where playera can “earn high-quality loot by decorating trees and taking on Santa in an ambush on the seasonal train.”

Deck The Halls & Zombie Santa in Warzone

Warzone’s CODMAS event brings “Deck the Halls,” where Santa has dropped presents around Urzikstan in the form of holiday crates.

These crates, which surround Christmas trees, will be marked on your Tac Map. A flair will be sent up when a team approaches the area, and if you’re the first there, you must defend to claim the rewards and get the chance to fight Zombie Santa.

Picking up a key will spawn a “Merry” portal, which takes you to “a zombified Juggernaut Santa.” Defeating him will drop high-tier loot.

Slay Ride in Warzone CODMAS event

Urzikstan’s train will be taken over by Santa during Warzone’s CODMAS event, “handing out presents to well-behaved Operators” and meeting “naughty” players with “heavy resistance.”

Snowball Fights in Warzone CODMAS event

Lethal Snowballs can be found around Urzikstan during the CODMAS event, included in both your default Loadout and marked on the map as a snowflake icon if you require more.

MW3 Infectious Holiday & Snowfight modes

New LTMs are coming to Modern Warfare 3 during the CODMAS event. Snowfight is a festive version of the traditional Gunfight mode where players will wield snowballs instead of weapons for the opening two rounds.

Then, Infectious Holiday gives the classic Infected CoD mode an overhaul. Each player will take the form of a Santa Claus Operator while infected players will turn into Zombie Santan.

MW3 Santa’s Slayground event

During Modern Warfare 3’s CODMAS event, the Santa’s Slayground event will hit multiplayer and Warzone. The event brings several rewards to earn as well maps “Shipmas” and “Hangover,” which we now know are festive versions of Shipment and Highrise respectively.

Santa's Slayground in-game event is now live in MWIII and Warzone, with MP, MWZ, or Warzone specific challenges.
