Multiplayer Maps: Six Total Core 6v6 Maps

An incredible feat of engineering, the Hadiqa 6 Star resort sits atop a Dubai skyscraper and caters to the most discerning of guests. You’ll have little time to marvel at the breathtaking views now that this lavish retreat is under attack. The primary flow lanes through these locations offer opportunities no matter your playstyle, and while the curved connecting corridors allow excellent access across and around the map, there are several useful shortcuts, like a vent connecting the aquarium and Oasis Lounge, a pump room that drops down into the lounge, and a precarious catwalk joining the garden helipad to a security office.

Emergency (Launch)

Brand-New, Core, 6v6, Small-Sized

First released as Sphere during Season 3 of Call of Duty®: Vanguard, the layout of this deceptively compact map is similar, but the environment has changed significantly. This is less of an experimental test site and more of a backwoods narcotics den nestled in remote foothills. The roof of the main barn seems to have been struck by missile fire, and the rafters are still smoldering. Smaller than Meat, this map features upper and lower levels offering greater space to move than you’d initially expect, especially if you know the ladders and points of entry. Expect mid- to longer-ranged battles aboveground, and close-quarter combat inside the rickety structure. Use the ancillary structures on the east and west sides as ambush points.

Tanked (Launch)

New (Repurposed), Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized

Among the graffitied walls, navigate the piles of rubbish and brave the derelict London canal, well away from Big Ben and the bright lights in England’s capital city. As the tube trains rattle overhead, visit the murky brown waters of the docks, duck into a boathouse, and look for tactical cover throughout an abandoned SKN Comms center — with a choke point in the lobby where combat is usually the fiercest. Near the water’s edge, you’ll find Emily’s greasy spoon café. The urban layout provides a variety of cover opportunities, though you could always head to the Captain’s Dog for a pint and a punch.

Four Game Modes Arrive in Multiplayer

An often-requested objective game mode, beginning in the first Call of Duty Multiplayer experience, Capture the Flag (CTF) pits two competitive teams against each other, with eliminations being only part of the plan: The real tactics involve stealing the opponent’s flag and returning it to their home base, while simultaneously defending that same base and their flag from the enemy. As a flag won’t be scored as “captured” until a team’s flag is safe in its base, squads must bring both impressive offensive and defensive capabilities to win the match.

Game Mode: One in the Chamber (Launch Window)

Those Call of Duty: Warzone veterans who remember playing the entertaining, limited-time mode known as Payload know what to expect here as two teams — both with unlimited respawns — face off on a variety of maps, with one side protecting a MAW as it maneuvers across the map. Meanwhile, the opposing force has enemy takedowns and the grand prize of vehicular destruction on their minds! The attacking team’s overriding goal is to ensure the vehicle reaches its destination. The defending team’s plan of attack is to disable the vehicle by any means necessary. Once the first game of the match is completed, the teams swap objectives, and the side with the quickest vehicle takedown wins.

Game Mode: Vortex Playlist (In-Season)

The preternatural map variants – Airborne, Satan’s Quarry, Skidgrow, Sporeyard, and Tetanus – return in a special limited-time Playlist coming later in Season 3. The familiar Vortex Mosh Pit will be available, along with a new Arcade Mode, with a number of [[REDACTED]] gameplay modifiers to add yet more variety to your game.

Expect the “Vortex Vir.Rus Mainframe” Event to launch alongside this limited-time Playlist. More information on this event is available later in this blog.

Multiplayer Ranked Season 3 Intel (Launch Window)

MODERN WARFARE ZOMBIES OVERVIEW (MWZ)

An unknown force of disturbing power has its psychic tendrils wrapped tightly around Dr. Ava Jansen. The doctor has been lured unto a new region of the Dark Aether under this malignant influence.

Strike Teams from Operation Deadbolt have converged to assist Sergei Ravenov as he attempts to locate and rescue Dr. Jansen from the unknown. Your expertise surviving and escaping the Dark Aether is required. The time has come to explore a new part of the Dark Aether, and rescue Dr. Jansen, and readying up for another Dark Aether Gate hunt.

Additional Unlock Quest, a Third Rift, and More (Mid-Season)

This third Dark Aether Rift is just as ornery as past two; expect a series of unlock objectives focusing on finding and attuning several relics, allowing access through the Gate. Accomplish these tasks to step into the ethereal voidscape and face the terrifying horrors lurking within, claiming valuable rewards if you survive. Squad up and help Operation Deadbolt continue to contain the onslaught of the undead.

Naturally, you’re also here to complete activities and contracts, discover arcane secrets, and secure some highly classified schematics!

Naturally, you’re also here to complete activities and contracts, discover arcane secrets, and secure some highly classified schematics!

New Challenges and Schematics (Mid-Season)

Prestige Challenges

Unlock new Prestige Calling Card Challenges at each level of prestige reached, and select up to five challenges to track, including any from across the game.

Camo Challenges

With four new weapons comes over a dozen new unique Camo challenges to grind through - play to access the new challenges for the Gladiator Melee weapon and multiple unique Camos for the BAL-27 (Assault Rifle), FJX Horus (Submachine Gun), and MORS (Sniper Rifle).

New Schematics

In addition, some highly classified Schematics are located in deviously secretive locations, all available depending on your success during the Rift:

Dead Wire Detonators (Schematic): Are you still shocked at the impressive electrical damage the Dead Wire Ammo Mod inflicts? Then you might want to employ the Dead Wire Detonator, and attach it to all your explosive weaponry, including Lethals and Launchers!

Golden Mask Filter (Schematic): A prized schematic with a shiny hue and an impressive, long-lasting effect — gain a self-regenerating gas mask for the rest of the match. This comes in extremely handy for surviving zombie strongholds and any surprises in the rifts.

Sergeant’s Beret (Schematic): Your outcomes no longer need to be terminal when dealing with Zakhaev’s hired guns; simply don the Sergeant’s Beret to disguise yourself among the Mercs, and summon a trusty Merc Bodyguard who shadows you to the end.

Warlord: Rainmaker (Mid-Season)

Additional caution is advised when operating in the southeastern part of the Urzikstan Exclusion Zone, as Warlord Rainmaker has commandeered and heavily upgraded the defenses of his fortress on Rahaa Island, across the water from Shahin Manor. As his code name suggests, this Warlord is an artillery and demolitions expert, and though his island compound is relatively easy to reach, stepping foot on the island with your limbs still attached may be more of a challenge.

Expect mortar rounds and RPG fire to descend on your squad, with assault maneuvers made even more difficult due to the water surrounding Rainmaker’s lair. Fast transport is recommended, and once you disembark, try to ignore the chaos and focus on the fortress. Rainmaker’s forces are expendable, and he almost enjoys sacrificing his own men to take out intruders. With the fortress breached, slow your progress, as the compound is brimming with tripwires and traps. Stepping on a mine at this point would be unfortunate. Then prepare to change your gameplan once you finally corner Rainmaker; he’s capable of some nasty surprises you won’t be expecting.

CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE OVERVIEW (WZ)

Happy Rebirth Day: Welcome Back to Rebirth Island (Launch)

Rebirth Island returns at the launch of Season 3! The island feels incredibly familiar; veteran players will find all the Points of Interest instantly recognizable. The structures and topography of the island remain intact, and though some of the POIs have become more weathered, the island’s latest occupying force — Konni Group — hasn’t ignored the structures that are important to its machinations, retrofitting and thoroughly modernizing them, both outside and in. While a small power plant known as Building No 06 is the only new structure on the map, expect more than a few surprises as you return to Rebirth Island!

Developed by Beenox, the return of Rebirth Island represents your new destination for Resurgence Matches, as well as your home for Season 3 Call of Duty: Warzone Ranked Play: Resurgence developed by Treyarch and Raven Software.

Return to Rebirth: Points of Interest Intel

Swimming and water combat. Submerged and new shoreline access points. Biometric Scanners. Smart Displays. Weapon Trade Stations. A new Resurgence Champion’s Quest. Variable Time of Day that changes the atmospheric mood but not the visibility of the action. Infil Strikes where the Water Tower, Lighthouse, and even the Prison roof are destroyed as your infil begins. We’ll detail all of this later in the blog, but for the moment, let’s reacquaint ourselves with the 11 major POIs across Rebirth Island:

Bioweapons

One of the bona fide hot drops, this three-floor brick and steel building is easily spotted on its coastal corner along the northern edge of the island. While much of the structure has been left to rust and decay over the decades, the Konni Group has thoroughly modernized the third-floor laboratory with the latest in research technology. The same cannot be said for the atrocious basement showers and the remains of an office floor within the building. A great place to make a stand, the roof is accessible by parachute and by interior and exterior stairs. For a quick escape, take the zipline over to Chemical Engineering.

Industry

Overview and Exterior: This low-lying structure nestled below the helipad plateau has received more than a new coat of red and white paint. But the flanking alley between the two areas is still a good place to take cover, and there are plenty of doors and breakable windows allowing you access into the main, two-floor interior. Head southeast to the bridge connecting to the road close to the Prison.

Building No. 7: Though both structures are numbered “07,” the pitched roof and visible sign of the storage and security building is a major draw for players looking to stock up on supplies and engage in combat across multiple floors. The upper levels are accessible by roadside ramps or a lower unloading area that is fully open to the elements, as well as a wraparound walkway along the shoreline. The upper floors, which include server rooms and security offices, also provide a ladder to the sloped roof, as well as commanding views across Harbor, the hilltop, Industry, and Bioweapons.

Dock

Sewage Treatment, Power Room, and Lookout: This POI stretches all along the northern shoreline of the map, beginning with a sewage treatment plant connected to Industry. Adjacent to that is Power Room 04, jutting out on an elevated concrete structure. Rusting catwalks connect these areas. There’s both an open Bunker door and a submerged pipe leading into a completely waterlogged Bunker, and likely a few secrets lost to the waves.

Once a construction site, this piece of brutalist architecture features a main building connected to a smaller section via a covered breezeway and a concrete exterior forecourt behind the structure. You’ve excellent vantage points to Prison and out toward Living Quarters. Inside, even the larger of the two buildings has tight interior spacing, with several offices on two floors to explore, ideally in Tac-Stance.

Prison

Prison Yard and Water Tower: The imposing (and rusting) Water Tower next to the Prison yard serves as the island’s main landmark and is a phenomenal watchpoint. Climb the ladder or use an ascender to reach the top. The dirt yard below has tents, vehicles, and supplies, with a wall and sentry towers. This can be a preferred location to land some eliminations before ducking into cover or using the zipline to whisk you to Industry.

Harbor

Warehouse and Old Office: The southern part of Harbor stretches between Chemical Engineering and Factory, and the concrete shoreline provides quick traversal, with several smaller buildings offering the chance to lose pursuers and find cover. The lower tram platform sits adjacent to Factory and offers a ride up to the Prison rooftop. Next to that is a red-roofed building with a covered, tunnel-like service road under its dilapidated frame, connected to gray-and-white storage structures that Konni Group seem to have forgotten about. 

Comms Office and Power Station (Turbine): Toward Chemical Engineering is a brick warehouse and a newly constructed power station marked “06.” While the warehouse is mainly a defensive location, the power station (with black and orange exterior cladding) has smaller monitoring offices around a main turbine room, which descends into a water-filled concrete pipe you can swim through to reach multiple exit points, perfect for repositioning and flanking unsuspecting enemies.

Headquarters (and Lighthouse)

Factory and Office: Clad in muddy white corrugated metal, the Factory is the largest feature on the southwestern shoreline. This commanding, three-floor building and basement comes with an exterior gantry overlooking the dockside and Harbor, and ascenders offer rapid access to the rooftop. Inside are control rooms, with a lower floor midsized storage room half-filled with barrels and boxes. This is where you’ll find a long concrete tunnel hallway with covered access to and from the Factory. Toward Stronghold is a single-level brick office with a pitched roof and views across the docks.

Living Quarters — Basecamp and Switchbacks: On the low plateau overlooking Stronghold is a sprawling network of military tents, medical prefabs, and a small office building. Up the craggy rocks is Headquarters. Although the structures may have changed over the years, their position has not. This is a great place to get off the road and get out of sight. Also note the storage room near the pathway switchbacks and jetty accessible by the coastal road, as well as a strange and locked bunker door. How does that open?

Stronghold

Another favorite location for Operators to drop into, the southwestern corner of Rebirth Island consists of a complex, low-lying construction site, an old checkpoint in need of repair, a rear roundabout, a helipad, and the landmark satellite tower. There’s plenty of caches, vehicles, and barricades to utilize, as well as confined offices and a covered walkway across the checkpoint. Climb the tower for an elevated and commanding view from various levels. If all else fails, remember you can jump onto the shoreline rocks or even swim to reposition to a more advantageous location.

New Call of Duty: Warzone Modes and Public Events

New Game Mode — Call of Duty: Warzone Bootcamp (Launch)

Available on: Rebirth Island (Player Count: 44).

Ditch the ground loot in matches of Resurgence and bring in your preferred Loadout and custom equipment, meaning all players come fully locked and loaded right from the start of the match, enabling you to concentrate on the win without the need for ground cache collecting. If you’re taken out during a match, you redeploy using the same Resurgence rules, but with the possibility of changing to another of your custom Loadouts. If you’re out of ammo or equipment, the higher ratio of legendary and reusable loot boxes means you’re never far from a fully kitted out Operator, though you’re here to bring the firepower, and the victory!

New Game Mode: Rebirth Lockdown (Mid-Season)

Lighthouse Disintegration: The lighthouse tower at Headquarters topples into the forecourt and the corner of Prison below, creating rubble ramps to the adjacent building and Prison.

Available on: Rebirth Resurgence Modes.

Announced during infil, if this public event is activated, it allows you some added protection, enabling the equipping of an additional Armor Plate for the duration of the match. The extra plate slot is visible above your health bar where plate information is normally seen:

• This increases your Operator’s Armor Hit Points from 150 to 200.
• The extra plate slot is applied no matter the plate carrier type you have equipped (standard 3-plate, Communications Vest, Medic Vest, Stealth Vest, or Tempered Plate Carrier).
• You begin the match with an additional plate equipped.
• Except for the Tempered Plate Carrier, you have four filled plates at the start of a match. 200 Health, 50 Health per plate.
• The Tempered Plate Carrier, if equipped, has three plates, with the third one partially filled at the start of a match. A full Tempered Plate Carrier has 200 Health, 66.7 Health per plate.
• Adjust your tactics accordingly, as this Public Event allows you to last longer between re-plating and lengthens the TTK and ammo expenditure when downing foes.

New Mission Contract: Spy Drones (Launch)

Available on: Rebirth Island.

The ultimate contract mission is confirmed to be active on Rebirth Island once a certain number of consecutive wins, or a total number of wins, are achieved. Bring a game plan and some competent cohorts with you while you wait for, locate, and then defend three elements necessary to create an impressively explosive finale, and achieve complete domination over your enemies. Expect a variety of rewards, including an Animated Calling Card, Charm, Sticker, Weapon Camo, and Operator Skin for those elite enough to complete the quest.

Call of Duty: Warzone New and Returning Features

New Equipment (Field Upgrade): Squad Rage (Launch)

Available on: Rebirth Island.

Locate an enhanced version of the Battle Rage Field Upgrade by looting or purchasing at a Buy Station, and then huff the mask to your tactical advantage! Once active, Squad Rage vaporizes any gas within the radius of effect surrounding the user and grants Battle Rage to both you and any teammate standing within that radius. Stave off the gas, resist the effects of enemy Tacticals, and utilize the infinite Tactical Sprint, increased Health, and regeneration for the duration of the Rage. Weigh these advantages with keeping your crew close enough for everyone to gain these possibly match-winning benefits.

New Equipment (Field Upgrade): Utility Box (Mid-Season)

Available on: Rebirth Island.

It’s back! The most prized Perk possession in all of Call of Duty: Warzone returns! This hexagon of omnipotence may be incredibly difficult to discover — in fact, it’s only very rarely found at a [[REDACTED]] or in specific [[REDACTED]] — but its effectiveness cannot be understated. Once found, this grants you every applicable Perk in the game and continues to function even if you subsequently access your Loadout Drop with your chosen Perks. In addition to the default Perks available to all Operators (Tac Pads, Commando Gloves, Quick-Grip Gloves, Climbing Boots, and Overkill), Specialist grants you the advantages of the following 29 additional Perks, but only for the remainder of the match:

• Perk Slots 1 and 2 (all Perks active): Battle Hardened, Double Time, E.O.D., Focus, Irradiated, Mechanic, Mountaineer, Scavenger, Shrapnel, Sleight of Hand, Spotter, Strong Arm.
• Perk Slot 3 (all Perks active): Cold-Blooded, Escapist, Payout, Primed, Quick Fix, Resupply, Stalker, Survivor, Tempered, Tracker.
• Perk Slot 4 (all Perks active): Birdseye, Combat Scout, Flex, Ghost, High Alert, Resolute, Shrouded.

Updated Movement: Aquatic Gameplay Comes to Rebirth Island! (Launch)

Available on: Rebirth Island.

The last time Operators descended on Rebirth Island, the ocean was very much out of bounds. Not so in Season 3, as a variety of watercraft and the ability to swim are available to any player wanting to get their feet wet. There are now new ways to traverse land and sea, including waterlogged tunnels and even a flooded bunker to explore.

New Feature: Biometrics Scanner (Launch)

Available on: Rebirth Island.

Dotted around Rebirth Island’s upgraded communications facilities is a series of 10 Biometric Scanners, terminals that include full biometric scanning capabilities. Once per match where these Scanners are active, you can approach a Biometrics Scanner and quickly check your statistics. The Scanner produces a Keycard based on your identity (placed directly into your Backpack), along with an XP reward. Inspect the Keycard, and you’ll see it contains your Operator name, Clan Tag, and Access Level.

Keycards: These take up a slot in your Backpack, can be dropped or looted, and can unlock a special menu in any Rebirth Island Buy Station for the duration of the remaining match.

Keycard Rarity: There are six different rarities of Keycard:

• Bronze (common)
• Silver (relatively common)
• Gold (uncommon)
• Platinum (rare)
• Polyatomic (very rare)
• Orion (incredibly rare)

The percentage chance of receiving a specific rarity is [[REDACTED]], but your chances improve if a squadmate is close by during a scan, or if you repeat the scanning process in the next few days.

Buy Station Access and In-Match Rewards: Bring your Keycard, or one you’ve looted from the corpse of a foe to any Rebirth Island Buy Station, and a special Keycard menu will be accessible, based on the highest card you have in your possession. General examples of expected items from each Keycard menu are as follows (with any Equipment and Perks selected from your favorite Loadout):

• Bronze: Random ammunition, Cash ($), Armor Plates, Lethals, and Tacticals.
• Silver: Random ammunition, Cash ($$), Armor Plates, Lethals, Tacticals, Perk Package.
• Gold: Random ammunition, Cash ($$$), Armor Plates, Lethals, Tacticals, Perk Package, Plate Carrier, Field Upgrade.
• Platinum: Random ammunition, Cash ($$$$), Armor Plates, Lethals, Tacticals, Perk Package, Plate Carrier, Field Upgrade, Killstreak.
• Polyatomic: [[REDACTED]] free equipment selects at the Buy Station, [[REDACTED]] Weapon.
• Orion: [[REDACTED]] free equipment selects at the Buy Station, [[REDACTED]] Weapons, additional [[REDACTED]].

Additional and Permanent In-Game Rewards: There is growing evidence that returning to a Biometric Scanner on subsequent but nonconsecutive visits may unlock a variety of additional assets — including camouflage for your armaments — as well as communications deemed “Most Secret.” No further details have been authorized.

New Feature: Variable Time of Day (In-Season)

Occasionally there may be matches where the sky is brooding and overcast, the sun is setting, or light sea fog begins to roll in. Sometimes the change in weather lasts the entire match, and sometimes the weather may change part way through; and the changes in conditions mean extra vigilance is recommended, as unique items may spawn across the map during these infrequent events. Take advantage of every situation to win the game!

New Feature: Smart Displays (Launch)

The preceding image (above) shows the three main landing examples (this is for demonstration purposes only). The circle radii shown don’t appear on your in-game Tac Map. When your first teammate lands, they create a small radius around them, roughly the size shown in the previous image. The rest of the team simply needs to land within that radius to “land together,” as follows:

• Full Squad Landing (Quads): All four Operators’ landing radii overlap with at least one other.
• Full Squad Landing (Trios): All three Operators’ landing radii overlap with at least one other.
• Two Half Squad Landing (Quads): Two pairs of Operators land separately, with each pair’s landing radius overlapping.
• Majority Squad Landing (Quads): Three of the four Operators land with overlapping radii, and one Operator lands separately.
• Majority Squad Landing (Trios): Two of the three Operators land with overlapping radii, and one Operator lands separately.
• Duo Squad Landing (Duos): For Duos, both squadmates need to land with their radii overlapping.

• Mark the Landing Destination: Each squad member receives XP if any teammate pings the location where you land before the first squad member touches the ground.
  
• Full Squad Landing (Quads, Trios): Land as a full squad for a sizeable XP and Cash bonus, as well as a Supply UAV.
• Majority Squad Landing (Quads, Trios): Land with two other members (Quads) or one other member (Trios) for a reasonably XP and Cash bonus, as well as a Supply UAV.
• Half Squad or Duo Squad Landing (Quads, Duos): Land with one other teammate (Quads) or land with your teammate (Duos) and both of you receive a modest XP and Cash bonus.

Returning Feature: Weapon Trade Station (In-Season)

Available on: Rebirth Island.

The newly improved Weapon Trade Station (WTS-2) is currently being installed across Rebirth Island for an in-season activation. This acts in a similar manner to the previous version. Access this reinforced locker and trade an unwanted weapon for one of lesser quality and some extra loot. The quality of the weapon you trade in is related to its rarity, which is a measurement of how many attachments the weapon has. Each rarity has an associated color in the info box you view when you pick up a weapon:

• Common Weapon (Gray): 0 or 1 Attachment
• Uncommon Weapon (Green): 2 Attachments
• Rare Weapon (Blue): 3 Attachments
• Epic Weapon (Purple): 4 Attachments
• Legendary Weapon (Orange): 5 Attachments
• Ultra Weapon (Orange): 5+ Attachments

The rarity of the weapon you receive is two levels “more common” than the weapon you dropped into the Weapon Trade Station. For example, if you find an Epic Rarity weapon with four attachments, you can trade it in for an Uncommon weapon with two attachments, plus a random assortment of additional items, at the Weapon Trade Station.

Additional Weapon Trade Station items that are dropped at the completion of the trade can include ammo, cash, equipment (Tacticals, Lethals, Field Upgrades, Killstreaks, Gas Masks), and — on very rare occasions if you’re incredibly lucky and trade a formidable weapon — the Specialist Perk Token!

Multiplayer: Core 6v6 Map: Rust (Launch)

Brand-New, Core, 6v6, Small-Sized

The crowd-favorite map from Modern Warfare® II is coming to Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile for the first time at the start of Season 3. This small-sized map is set in a desert oil yard and features a large central tower overlooking a field of pipes, fuel, shipping containers, and other sand-blasted scenery. The tower’s top platform offers a near total view of the area below and is an impressive power position. The barricades and fuel depots below offer close cover where savage combat shines. Be ready to engage at a moment’s notice and within the maze under the tower.

Battle Royale: Plunder Mode (Launch)

Weapons Detail: Four New Weapons (MWIII, MWZ, WZ, WZM)

FJX Horus (Submachine Gun — Launch, Battle Pass Sector 8)

Levels: 18

“An ultra-compact SMG with best-in-class CQC damage and mobility.”

Versatility is the name of the game with this machine pistol SMG, a favorite of those who like to pack a punch on the run. This weapon has an incredible fire rate and class-leading mobility, and handling help mitigates the recoil control.

MORS (Sniper Rifle — Launch, Battle Pass Sector 4)*

Levels: 6

“A compact, concealable punch knife that was initially used by gamblers and politicians.”

Close combat was never so quick and painful, with the Gladiator rivaling the Karambit for supreme mobility, handling, and damage potential. Cut straight to the bone with haste and ease, but ensure you’re close enough to make your lethal stabs count.

BAL-27 (Assault Rifle — Mid-Season, [[REDACTED]])

Levels: 19

“A bullpup prototype weapon designed to increase fire rate over time while the trigger is squeezed. The first 4 shots are slower to fire but highly accurate.”

Top-loading with a reasonably rapid ammo swap, this fast-firing future-proof Assault Rifle shreds at closer ranges, has a moderate kick that drifts upward, offers great default reticles, and comes with a 60-round magazine once you’ve leveled it up, doubling the available ammo between reloads.

Getting More Attached: Eight New Aftermarket Parts (Launch, In-Season, MWIII, MWZ, WZ, WZM)

Season 3 introduces an incredible eight new Aftermarket Parts, many unlockable via Weekly Challenges. These bring unusual, impressive, and downright deranged modifications to your favorite armaments, including a selection from Modern Warfare II! Need to make a shotgun into an automatic Battle Rifle? Been waiting to turn the M16 from MWII into a fully automatic AR? Or are you here for the akimbo lever-action Shotguns? This season’s Aftermarket Part attachments are listed below:

Compatibility: BP50 (MWIII) (Assault Rifle)

This conversion kit turns the BP50 into a CQC legend. A 9mm caliber conversion with shortened receiver and high-capacity magazine.

Compatibility: KV Broadside (MWII) (Shotgun)

Converts this Shotgun into a hard-hitting, automatic Battle Rifle.

Banshee (Orla Murphy (KorTac, Launch)

Operator and Skin: Sector 13

A natural scrapper, Orla Murphy always finds a way to get what she wants.

Orla Murphy grew up as one of six children in a working-class home in Dublin. Her delinquency started with minor vandalism and petty theft and eventually expanded to joyriding and robbery. Eventually caught behind the wheel of a stolen car, she was sent to a children’s detention facility. The intention was to straighten her out, and for a time it worked. Once she turned 18, Orla joined the Defence Forces. She excelled with the routine of military life and thrived in a team dynamic, but the salary failed to impress her. Orla started doing off-the-books jobs while deployed, including smuggling contraband. She also attracted the attention of KorTac, who approved of Orla’s tendency to bend the rules and dirty her hands. Following her discharge, KorTac was quick to offer her a mercenary contract to simply be herself.

Hush/Bashiir Shirwa (KorTac, Launch)

Operator and Skin: Completion Sector: Tier 100

Once a simple farmhand thrust into the chaos of Mogadishu, Bashiir Shirwa was forged in the city’s fire and became its most capable agent.

Bashiir spent much of his early life working the fields with his father and brothers. But with famine quickly spreading, most of his siblings would begin fishing in the port of Baraawe. Bashiir set out for the city of Mogadishu and began earning a wage as a security guard. He learned the rules of survival the hard way after a near fatal slashing that left him with terrible scars that still itch. Nevertheless, he adapted to the chaos of the city, learning both the street smarts necessary for survival and the skills to defend himself with ease. Within a year, his name was known throughout Mogadishu as a reliable and effective fixer. Attracting the attention of a KorTac recruiter, Bashiir enlisted and began his journey as an international mercenary. Now he stands among KorTac’s finest, a soldier for the highest bidder among KorTac’s clientele.

Facing systemic barriers with humor and cannabis, the duo exploited adversity to bring underground voices into the mainstream.
