5 New Features Coming to Warzone 2

In recent days, information about the next version of Warzone has been leaked online. A recent video from the content creator NerosCinema had outlined some key features coming to Warzone 2, which have been independently confirmed by my own sources.

Today I wanted to dig deeper into some of these details, as well as share some more details about Warzone 2 that are not yet known.

While this feature hasn’t been mentioned online yet, Warzone 2 will have an interrogation feature that all players will have access to. The interrogation feature is very similar to the interrogation feature in Rainbow Six Siege, where players can interrogate downed enemies to reveal the location of their teammates.

As you approach downed enemies, the prompt “Interrogate” will be displayed, which your player will run an execution-style animation to kill the player. Once the player is killed, the locations of his teammates are displayed on the minimap.

The interrogation feature seems to be in its early stages, with the current animation being just a form of Stim Shot animation, where you inject the player (or maybe it’s a truth serum)! The entire animation and process currently takes about six seconds.

It’s unclear if this feature will make it to the final build of the game, but several people have suggested to me that this is more of an “add-on” to the performance animations we’ve seen in past Call of Duty titles.

As mentioned briefly in NerosCinema’s latest video, armor vests are making a return. This time, however, armor vests appear to be a hybrid of the armor system between Blackout and Warzone. This time, players must find a layered armor vest to equip armor plates.

Armor vests range from Tier 1 to Tier 3, where you can equip one more armor plate on each tier. Your armor vest won’t break, but your armor plates will, meaning you’ll need to replenish your plates after you get hit, just like in Warzone.

Pocket System

Sources have said the pocket system is in early development and it’s still very fluid on what the system might look like for the final game.

Essentially, it’s very similar to Escape from Tarkov, where players can add ammo, killstreaks, and weapons to their bag. Different bag layers provide more storage space.

Example of how the bag system works (not accurate numbers).

  • Ammunition – takes up 1 slot
  • Killstreaks – takes up 4 slots (2 by 2)
  • Assault rifle – takes up 6 slots (2 by 3)
  • Sniper Rifle – takes up 8 slots (2 by 4)
  • Tier 1 Bag – 10 Slots (2 by 5)
  • Tier 2 Bag – 15 Slots (3 by 5)
  • Tier 3 Bag – 20 Slots (4 by 5)

This means that players can place different items in their bag depending on the size of the bag. It’s been suggested that you can’t “flip” weapons to add to your bag at this point, as they can only be placed horizontally, at least for Warzone 2.

If you’re not familiar with games like Escape from Tarkov, the new bag system is actually a more complicated version of Blackout’s bag system.

It’s unclear if the luggage system will be the exact system for either mode, but the groundwork has been laid for what to expect.

Pro Perks is something some older Call of Duty fans will be familiar with and are essentially a better version of normal perks, and they’re coming to Warzone 2.

Pro Perks are available by looting Strongholds and while some Pro Perks were in pre-determined classes during the recent Warzone 2 playtests, it’s not entirely clear whether or not Pro Perks can be used on your Loadout as you may need to loot and use them to get an added advantage.

I’ve already covered Strongholds in a recent report you can look herebut essentially Strongholds are locations scattered around the map that are guarded by AI and contain targets.

Completing the objective and mission will give you your Loadout, in addition to other goodies like Pro Perks and Killstreaks.

As with all leaks, take the information with a grain of salt. Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 are still in active development and with 5-6 months of development time left from release, things may change.

I also want to make it clear that while previous Modern Warfare 2 maps from the original game are coming to Warzone 2, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re coming to the premium title as 6v6 maps, at least at launch.

Now that Infinity Ward has a two-year release cycle, it’s possible we’ll see all of these maps over the next two years, but not necessarily at launch. So keep your expectations under control.
