Warzone Season 1 kicks off a brand-new era of the battle royale as it integrates with Black Ops 6 to bring a fresh set of guns and a new map.

One of the ways that Warzone has managed to stay relevant for so long is through its constant evolutions. Each year, the BR merges with the current CoD multiplayer, which always comes with a set of new guns to level up and plenty of gameplay changes.

This year is no different, so here’s everything coming to BO6 in Warzone Season 1.

Warzone Season 1 release date

The Warzone Season 1 update arrives on Thursday, November 14, 2024, the same day that Black Ops 6 Season 1 also gets underway. Based on previous updates, it will likely go live at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT.

At this point, MW3 Season 6 will come to an end, and the game’s time as the main CoD title in Warzone will be over.

MW2 and MW3 Weapon adjustments

A visual recoil reduction pass has been applied to Modern Warfare II weapons, enhancing their feel and control while shooting. 

Barrel and stock attachments from Modern Warfare II have also had their penalties reduced. Additionally, a significant balancing pass has been completed for underbarrel and muzzle attachments from both Modern Warfare II and III. All cons have been removed from these attachments, meaning they now only provide stat boosts, with each subcategory of underbarrels and muzzles functioning identically except for cosmetic differences. AMP attachments in these slots, however, retain their unique functionality and balancing. 

  • Muzzle Enhancements 
    • Suppressors: Boost velocity and damage range. 
    • Comps: Improve recoil control. 
    • Flash Hiders: Increase damage range and firing aim stability. 
    • Breacher: Enhance melee damage and recoil control. 
  • Underbarrel Enhancements 
    • Angled Grip: Increases hipfire and tacstance accuracy and aim walking steadiness. 
    • Handstop: Improves sprint-to-fire and ADS speed. 
    • Vert Grip: Enhances recoil control and firing aim stability. 

Furthermore, Modern Warfare II and III weapons now have corner-slicing functionality, adding an extra tactical edge.

Omnimovement

Perhaps the biggest gameplay change coming in in Season 1 is omnimovement, which is set to completely revolutionize Warzone like it has multiplayer.

This is Black Ops 6’s new movement system, which allows players to sprint, slide, and dive in all directions, regardless of which way you’re facing. You’ll also be able to easily turn 360 degrees while prone, making it look and feel more natural than ever before.

All of this gives you greater mobility, opening up new ways to avoid incoming fire and even outmaneuver enemies. If you’ve ever felt that getting around the Warzone can feel clunky, then this might be the change you’ve been waiting for.

Area 99 map

Area 99 map in WarzoneActvision

Area 99 is a brand-new Resurgence map designed by Treyarch, heavily inspired by the iconic multiplayer map Nuketown. Although you won’t find a one-to-one recreation of the map in Area 99, each POI is clearly part of building the nuclear testing ground.

Check out every location below:

  • Warehouse
  • Loading Bay
  • Manufacturing
  • Bunker
  • Pods
  • Nuketown Shipping
  • Reactor
  • Cooling Towers
  • Test Site
  • Mannequin Assembly

Area 99 is said to be similar in size to Rebirth Island, making it one of the smallest maps in Warzone to date. It hasn’t been confirmed if Rebirth will be removed to make way, but we expect the two to be live in-game at the same time.

Is there a new BR map in Warzone Season 1?

No, there will be no new battle royale map introduced in Warzone Season 1, meaning that Urzikstan will remain the battleground for the foreseeable future. This will be the first time a new big map hasn’t arrived alongside the latest CoD since Black Ops Cold War in 2020.

However, it’s not all bad news, as the devs have confirmed that Verdansk, the OG Warzone map, will return in Spring 2025.

Mastery camos & classic Prestige

warzone abyss camo in black ops 6Activision

Season 1 will mark the arrival of Mastery camos in Warzone for the first time. These challenging camos have been a staple of multiplayer for many years, and battle royale players are getting their own grind this time around.

The challenges haven’t been revealed yet, but here are the four Mastery camos available:

  • Gold Tiger
  • King’s Ransom
  • Catalyst
  • Abyss

The classic Prestige system is also coming to Warzone. This feature lets you reset your rank when you hit Level 55 and all of your guns and unlocks will be removed as you work through them once again. The upside is that you earn exclusive rewards each time you do this.

You can also use a Prestige Token to keep one precious item every time you do it, be sure to use them wisely.

Quality of life changes

On top of the major updates coming in Season 1, there are also a handful of smaller, quality of life changes to make Warzone a smoother experience:

Quick Inventory

Black Ops 6 streamlines the inventory system in Warzone and removes the current Backpack system. Instead, an inventory menu works from left to right and is divided into different sections.

  • Cash on hand
  • Gas Mask
  • Armor Plates
  • Killstreaks
  • Field Upgrade
  • Primary, Secondary, and Melee Weapons
  • Ammunition for your AR, SMG, Shotgun, Sniper, and Launcher

Satchels

Satchels are lootable equipment items that increase your storage capacity. Satchels can’t and don’t need to be dropped, as you can equip both types simultaneously. If an operator is eliminated they will drop their satchels and they can be looted.

  • Armor Satchel: This substantially increases your Armor Plate carrying capacity.
  • Munitions Satchel: This increases the Ammunition capacity for AR, SMG, Shotgun, Sniper, and Launcher ammunition.

We expect even more to be announced in the lead-up to launch, so we’ll be sure to update this page with the latest details when they’re revealed.

In the meantime, check out the best guns in Black Ops 6 that could dominate Warzone when they arrive, and which items you should unlock permanently with Prestige Tokens.
