With the first season in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the Christmas event “CODMAS“ arrives and brings new challenges and rewards for Warzone. Don’t worry: The multiplayer won’t be left out.
In just under a week, it will be here: On December 6, season 1 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Warzone will be released on all platforms. The start time is 6 PM German time.
In addition to three new maps and new content for the zombie mode, there will also be a new map for Warzone – Urzikstan. And during the first season, the CODMAS event will take place there, including thematically appropriate maps and modes. We will reveal what to expect.
Juggernaut Santa and Deadly Snowballs
What kind of event is this? According to the CoD website, the Holiday Event CODMAS is supposed to bring new challenges and rewards to the Urzikstan map in Call of Duty: Warzone. Some are visible, others are hidden.
- „Slay Ride Resurgence“ Limited Time Mode: This mode is supposed to be a festive version of Resurgence – the faster variant of battle royale, where you respawn instead of ending up in the Gulag when shot by an opponent. There, a “series of surprises” will also await you.
- Deck the Halls: Throughout Urzikstan, gifts are scattered in so-called “Holiday Boxes”. When players interact with the boxes, a flare will be sent – so be prepared for fights over the gifts. The players who can hold the point the longest will meet Santa Claus – “or at least something that used to be Santa Claus,” it says.
- Zombie Santa: If you receive a key during “Deck the Halls”, a “Merry” portal will appear. If you use this, you can take on a zombified Juggernaut Santa. If you defeat this evil incarnation of Santa, you will be rewarded with valuable loot.
- Slay Ride: Santa has taken over the train in Urzikstan and distributes gifts to all good players he meets. However, you will encounter severe resistance if you haven’t been good.
- Snowball Fights: Everywhere in Urzikstan, you will find deadly snowballs as ground loot, represented by a snowflake symbol on the map. (We envision these snowball fights to be a bit more chaotic and dangerous than the ones we know..)

Will there also be event content in multiplayer? During the 12 days that CODMAS is supposed to last, there will also be a new challenge for the multiplayer of CoD: MW3. This could then run similarly to previous events. In the events, you could previously farm XP in matches or complete certain tasks to unlock rewards.
Currently, you can unlock a new weapon by completing the weekly challenge in addition to the event rewards. We will show you how to do this, which setup is strong for the start, and how good the TAQ Eradicator really is:
