So if you want to prepare for what’s in store for you in the new battle royale shooter, we recommend that you check out this guide.
Differences between Warzone 2.0 and Warzone
As expected from sequels, there is no content in Warzone 2 and it will soon become clear whether this is an improvement or not. Despite this, new maps, game modes and more await you. But before we know what’s new, let’s take a look at the differences between Warzone 2.0 and Warzone.
New maps in Warzone 2.0
Warzone 2.0 will feature brand new maps as well as smaller maps for players who don’t have time for long matches. While Warzone and Warzone 2.0 will have different maps, it’s not yet known when that will change. Respawn Island and Fortune Keep are short maps that are reportedly coming to Warzone 2.
Gulag system in Warzone 2
The Gulag will now be playable in 2v2 combat from Warzone 2.0. Although Warzone had a 1v1 system, a 2v2 battle to defeat the jailer who has the key will determine the winner in Warzone 2. This is to make sure it feels like a real prison and your partner is a random player. In addition, you will keep the loot obtained in the Gulag.
What’s new in Warzone 2.0?
While we’ve seen certain differences between Warzone and Warzone 2.0, it’s exactly what’s new in Warzone 2 that will pique the interest of players.
Strongholds in Warzone 2
Strongholds will be featured in Warzone 2.0 and are AI controlled locations found in Al Mazra. You can fight these enemies for awesome loot or you can ignore them completely. AI enemies won’t chase you, so if you don’t need weapon upgrades, you can just leave them alone.
Changes to the loot system in Warzone 2.0
Warzone 2 is now getting a new backpack system that brings changes to the loot system. Upon death, the player’s main weapon falls to the ground along with their backpack. This will allow you to loot other content, which will be accessed through the loot menu.
Gear Changes in Warzone 2
Although the status of the gear changes is unclear at the time of writing, we will update it as soon as more information on the subject becomes available. However, there may be differences in equipment drops between Warzone 2.0 and Warzone.
Combat while sailing in Warzone 2
You can now shoot underwater in Warzone 2. Considering these are only pistols, this is a big step in the right direction as players have a chance to defend themselves close to the shore.
Underwater mines in Warzone 2.0
Now that you can use pistols underwater, placing mines seems like a great idea, especially if you’ve built your own fortress off the coast. Along with that, mines are a great way to ambush players.
DMZ mode in Warzone 2.0
Warzone 2.0 introduces a DMZ mode similar to Escape From Tarkov. If you’re familiar with the game, you’ll have to complete a few missions and do some gun or community dealings. Along with that, you will also be able to collect equipment and place it in your inventory.
New vehicles and boats in Warzone 2
Warzone 2.0 brings significant changes with many different vehicles that can be customized. Some cars also need petrol from time to time. Considering the sheer size of the Al Mazra map, this sounds like a great way to increase your competitiveness.
In addition, you can shoot while driving, as well as climb on the roof of the car to shoot. Tires can be shot, but they can also be repaired in the game.
Divided circles in Warzone 2
Warzone 2.0 has split circles, which means you’ll have the option to choose between three safe zones, at the end of which the circles converge to one.
That’s all for the differences between Warzone and Warzone 2.0 and what’s new in Warzone 2.0. While you’re here, be sure to check out our Warzone guides for more.
