As part ofWarzone’s series of mid-season updates, theClassified Arms Reloaded updateis promising to make the rest of Season 3 a lot more interesting, particularly because of its new underground transit system allowing fast travel between various points of interest throughout Caldera. Marked by “vault door” symbols on the Tac Map, 14 access points to the transit system can be found around the map. Each of them leads to a central hub room where players can make their way to their preferred destination. Audio and visual clues can help determine if danger lies at the other end, so mastering this system will be a key element to success as other players use the transit system either to quickly travel or prepare an ambush.
Along with the transit system, many other additions will be coming with Classified Arms Reloaded. The new Champion of Caldera Battle Royale mode features a single continuously closing circle. In this mode, kills instantly refill health, equipment, and ammo, encouraging aggressive playstyles to maximize survival chances while providing some great opportunities foreasier weapon leveling inWarzone.

Players must go prone during the scan or their location will be revealed on every other player’s Tac Map and minimap. High-Value Loot Zones will also appear during Battle Royale matches, which will attract intense fighting as players seek to claim the powerful loot in these locations.
