CoD Warzone: Operation Monarch – All Information
When does the event start? Operation Monarch goes live on Wednesday, May 11, at 6 PM. The limited event mode will remain in the playlist for 2 weeks.
How does the event mode work? Played in 4-player teams following the “Revival” mode rules. 60 players compete for victory, and a team is eliminated only when all team members are wiped out. The last standing team wins.
On the way to victory, you can rely on particularly large aids. You collect points for a type of “Titan Meter”. The points are obtained from loot boxes, special equipment drops, and defeated enemies.
If the Titan Meter fills up slowly, you will receive strong items such as killstreaks and loadout crates. Once the bar is full, a S.C.R.E.A.M. device is available:
With it, you can summon a monstrous killstreak. Choose the attack from King Kong or Godzilla and direct their power against your enemies.
There is another way to obtain the extremely powerful monster killstreak. The titans will go into a “rage” during the match and go a bit wild.
In these phases, the damage dealt to the monsters counts. The team that does the most damage to the creatures by the end of the rage will also receive a S.C.R.E.A.M. device.
Is there regular Battle Royale during the event? If you don’t like the event, you don’t have to participate. The normal battle royale modes will also be online, and you won’t be forced to deal with the monsters.
What rewards are available? If you complete a task, you will receive themed cosmetics:
- Play Operation Monarch for 6 hours: Ancestral Skull – Talisman
- Use monster killstreak once: Ancient Remains – Talisman
- Use monster killstreak three times: Monarch Eyes Only – Talisman
- 500,000 damage to monsters: Concrete Jungle – Sticker
- 135,000 damage to Kong in rage: Team Godzilla – Emblem
- 135,000 damage to Godzilla in rage: Team Kong – Emblem
- 3,000 Monarch points: Skyline Crasher – Business card
- 12 times in the top 15: One Will Fall – Spray
What else does the event bring to the game? In addition to the crazy event mode, new cosmetic bundles will be available in the shop, with a fitting monster theme. The skin bundle with the blue Godzilla skin is already online, and the trailer for the bundle can be found on YouTube (via youtube.com).
What happens after the event? Operation Monarch will last for 2 weeks. The devastation caused by the two monsters may lead to further damage to the Warzone map. Already at the start of Season 3, a lot has changed on Caldera, and possibly more is yet to come.
The Season 3 roadmap announces for the mid-season that there are more secrets to discover in the underground of Caldera. An official teaser indicates that the surface is no longer safe (via twitter.com).
This could mean that mid-season 3 starts directly after the event and brings further map adjustments.
We are embedding the preview of the upcoming playlists here:
Operation Monarch has the potential to become a showcase event for Warzone. But it remains to be seen whether it can live up to the high expectations.
As soon as there are new info and more details, we will update the article accordingly.
In the meantime, let us know if you will be checking out the event and what you expect from the monster attack. We would love to hear your comments on the topic.
