In addition to introducing a new map, one of the most significant changes inWarzoneis theOmnimovement system, which drastically transforms the gameplay experience and player mobility during both map traversal and combat. This new movement mechanic, also featured in Multiplayer,enables players to sprint, slide, and dive in any direction. It also incorporates asupine prone stance, allowing for a full 360-degree range of motion.
Dedicated Melee Slot and Unlimited Tactical Sprint
Unlimited Tac Sprint returns toWarzone, thanks to the introduction of theDedicated Melee Slot inBlack Ops 6. To activate it,simply equip the knife, and you’ll gain access to Unlimited Tac Sprint while using it. This new feature allows players to keep a knife in their loadout without sacrificing their Secondary Weapon Slot.
Unlimited Tac Sprint was a fan-favorite feature in the original iteration of the battle royale title, but later versions restricted its use. Now, with the integration ofBO6, it’s back, and all you need to do is equip the dedicated knife to take full advantage.
Classic Inventory Return and Looting Changes
After incorporating thebackpack system in MW2’s era,Warzonewill revert to its traditional loot system when it integrates with BO6. This classic looting system provides players with a main inventory that, once full, requires them to drop items to manage space.
Here are all the items players can pick up and have stored in their inventory:
Armor and Munition Satchels
Satchels are making a return alongside the classic inventory system, offering players the ability to increase the amount of ammo or Armor they can carry.Warzonenow features two types of Satchels:Armor SatchelandMunition Satchel. Players will need to choose between them, depending on whether they want to prioritize carrying more armor or additional ammunition.
Wildcards
With thereturn of Wildcards to Multiplayer,Warzoneplayers will also have access to Wildcards in their loadouts. Though adjusted to suit battle royale mechanics, these Wildcards will provide players with extra advantages in customizing their loadouts.
Pick-3 Perk System
Warzonewill introduce a new Pick-3Perk system,enabling players to select three Perks for their loadout, along with an optional Wildcard. Players will also be able to collect lootable Perks scattered around the map and obtain Pick-3 Perk Packs from fallen enemies.
The Perk system has been revamped to balance and combine less popular or underutilized Perks with others for more strategic gameplay. Additionally, the fan-favorite Specialist Perk Package will be available as a lootable item in the game.
Mastery Camos
For the first time since its official release in 2020,Call of Duty: Warzonewill feature its own exclusive Mastery Camo grind, including the Gold Tiger, King’s Ransom, Catalyst, and Abyss Camos(see image above). These will be unlocked by completing specific requirements, giving players additional in-game goals to work towards while playing.
Prestige System
Warzoneis introducing the Prestige System, a Multiplayer feature making its debut in the battle royale mode, which offers players a level progression system withchallenging milestones and exclusive rewards.
Much like in Multiplayer, each new Prestige will reset a player’s level, temporarily locking certain weapons (which can include meta options) and content. To regain access, players will need to level up again or use a Permanent Unlock Token to secure these items. However, weapon levels themselves will remain unaffected by the reset.
Global Weapon Builds
TheGlobal Weapon Builds system is a unified loadout feature acrossBlack Ops 6Multiplayer,Warzone, and Zombies. With this system, any adjustments made toyour weapon build or Blueprint– such as attachments, camos, stickers, and charms – will automatically apply across all three modes, improving efficiency and saving players' time when making changes across multiple game modes.
