DuringWarzone 2Season 1, Infinity Ward invited players to hunt down enemy squads, solve Building 21, and explore Al Mazrah in DMZ. Ever since launch, the development team has taken feedback about player experiences during the first season including boss fights, weapon cases, looting, and overall exploration in DMZ.Warzone 2Season 2 introducesthe new Ashika Island mapas a new Excursion Zone in DMZ with new locked spaces, a new boss, and much more. Although new content is on the way for the second season, Infinity Ward is finalizing many DMZ changes forWarzone 2’snext new update.

Infinity Ward published a new blog post focusing onWarzone 2Season 2and changes coming to DMZ on February 15. Season 1’s enemy AI in the DMZ were very challenging and led some players to become overwhelmed. As a result, Infinity Ward will implement several balance changes to adjust AI spawning, AI range accuracy, and other factors linked to AI. Enemy AI should still prove to be challenging opponents, but players will have a more manageable and fair experience in DMZ gunfights. Moreover, player spawn points in Al Mazrah will be tweaked to improve the early match experience in DMZ, and changes will be made to exfiltration, boss, and dead drop locations.
Infinity Ward determined Faction Mission difficulty was too steep, leading players to abandon their pursuit of the second Insured Weapon Slot duringWarzone 2Season 1. Faction Mission difficulty will be tweaked inWarzone 2Season 2 to allow for a more straightforward path toward unlocking the additional Insured Weapon Slot. In addition, the development team will prioritize crashing issues in Season 2 since Infinity Ward is committed to increased game stability for allWarzone 2players.
Warzone 2should benefit greatly from the variety of adjustments and game fixes when Infinity Ward releases the next major update. Season 2 has a plethora of new content, but Infinity Ward should ensure the gameplay experience is held up to the standard that active players expect.
Activision and Infinity Ward will likely continue to gauge player feedback throughout Season 2. A recent survey from Activision suggestsold maps like Verdansk and Blackout may returninWarzone 2, so players should expect more maps and tweaks in future seasons.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
