Sledgehammer Release Latest Community Update for CoD: WWII – Valkyrie Open Access, Triple Double XP Weekend, and More!

Albert Petrosyan

Call of Duty: WWII developer Sledgehammer Games have released another edition of their Weekly Community Update on May 4th.

This week’s Community Update includes information about several in-game promotional events and weapon contracts.

The Weekly Community Update is part of the developers’ commitment to consistently maintain communication with the Call of Duty community to ensure that any new changes or additions to the game are in the players’ preferred direction.

Although it is usually released every Friday, this week’s update was delayed due to the Community Reveal Event for the upcoming CoD: Black Ops 4 title on May 17th.

The post begins with a mention of both the Daily and Weekly Weapon Orders that are available in-game. The current Weekly Weapon Contract is for the Type 38 Sniper Rifle, which will be available until May 29th.

The Update continues with an announcement of two promotional XP events, one for midweek and one for the weekend.

The ‘Midweek Mobilize’ will offer 2DivisionXP on War Mode for a 24 hr period starting at 10 AM PDT on May 23th-24th. The ‘Weekend Warfare Triple Double’ will grant 2XP, 2DivisionXP, and 2WeaponXP to all those who play the Valkyrie Moshpit playlist from May 25th-29th.

Speaking of Valkyrie, the DLC 1 exlusive map will be available for free, open access to all players, regardless of whether they own the DLC pack or not. This open access will also be for a limited time from May 25th-29th.

The Multiplayer portion of the Update concludes with a mention of the Call of Duty Endowment ‘Fear Not’ Pack, which will be released on Tuesday, May 29th, in honor of Memorial Day. 

The full SHG Weekly Community Update for May 22nd can be read below, or on the official SHG Community Webpage.

The ‘Fear Not’ Pack follows up the ‘Bravery’ Pack as the next installment in our partnership with the Call of Duty Endowment. All Activision proceeds from the Pack go towards securing high-quality jobs for veterans in search of employment. It’s a cause we are extremely passionate about as a studio and are glad to be able to support. Take a sneak peek of what’s in this limited-edition Pack, available Tuesday, May 29 in the US and UK:
