Call of Duty: Warzone is getting a successor, and the leak machinery for the second part of the Battle Royale is slowly getting underway. The alleged insider “Tom Henderson” shows 5 mechanics that are very different in “Warzone 2”. And some of them you know from the competition.
What mechanics are we talking about? The well-known leaker “Tom Henderson” has often shared advance information on major shooters like Call of Duty or also Battlefield. At the moment, the successors to Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare are in focus.
For the currently unnamed “Warzone 2”, Henderson has now revealed 5 changed mechanics that, according to him, have already been tested in playtests:
- Interrogation
- Backpack adjustments
- Armor tiers
- Pro Perks
- Strongholds
The new Warzone does not reinvent the wheel but partially draws from the competition – such as Rainbow Six: Siege. We will explain the individual mechanics in detail on MeinMMO.
However, keep in mind: The information here consists of unconfirmed leaks. Warzone 2 is likely to be released in a few months or next year. Until then, things may still change or the mechanics may just be in testing.
Interrogations – Enemies reveal their teammates
If you shoot an enemy into the KO phase, it may be worthwhile in Warzone 2 to visit the writhing enemy briefly. Because you can still interrogate him.
You perform a kind of finisher on the downed enemy and briefly see the positions of the rest of the team – similar to the “Revival” mode when you completely finish an opponent.
The mechanic may borrow from Warzone 2 from Rainbow Six: Siege. The Brazilian special agent Caveira uses a very similar interrogation technique.
Backpack – A real inventory in sight
Currently, you have no real inventory in Warzone, but only a kind of clutter bar from which you can drop weapons or ammunition. That is supposed to change.
In the new Warzone, there are supposed to be backpacks with different slots. 3 sizes of backpacks are available for looting.
Ammunition, weapons, killstreaks, and equipment take up different amounts of slots. So you will have to manage your ammunition better, but you can also take weapons that can be swapped in between.
A similar system is used by Escape from Tarkov or even PUBG.
Armors – Vest determines the number of plates
At the moment, every player has 3 slots for armor plates from the start of the match. You even start with 2 equipped plates.
In Warzone 2, however, according to the current state, new armor vests are in the game:
- Tier 1 – One plate
- Tier 2 – Two plates
- Tier 3 – Three plates
To completely fill the armors, you first need to collect the vests and then equip the plates that you need to find separately. However, the vests do not disappear if your armor gets shot down.
Strongholds – Fight for your loadouts
Buyable or free loadouts likely belong to the past – “Strongholds” ensure better equipment.
On the large map, there are supposed to be 25 to 30 of these guarded areas. NPCs ensure that you do not simply walk into the areas. 3 of the strongholds are larger and more heavily guarded.
Every infiltrated stronghold gives you the chance at a loadout drop and thus to your equipment. The harder the strongholds are to take, the more loot you will likely receive.
A secure stronghold would also be nice in the current Warzone. The monsters are on the loose:
Pro Perks – Better extras: Like before
With the “Pro Perks”, there are likely better versions of the normal perks in the game. These are passive bonuses that you loot or receive through your loadouts in the match.
Henderson claims he is not quite sure how this mechanic comes into play. In previous playtests, Pro Perks could be looted in the strongholds, and pre-made loadout classes were equipped with Pro Perks.
So you may still be able to loot normal perks, as has recently been the case in the current Warzone, and in addition, there are Pro Perks, which are harder to obtain because they are considered high-quality loot.
Warzone 2 – if the game ultimately has that name – is supposed to be presented this year and build on the success of the first part.
The developers repeatedly emphasize that they see the players’ feedback and take it to heart – as long as it is constructive.
With the new Warzone, the developers want to use the experiences and feedback from the past years to restore the Battle Royale to its former glory. The one mistake that is now costing Warzone so many players should not be repeated.
Feel free to tell us in the comments what you think of the new mechanics that might drastically change our gaming experiences in Warzone 2.
