    Description:
    A closer look at Call of Duty Warzone Pacific season 2s new weapons, map changes, and when it releases.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Following a two-week delay , Call of Duty Warzone Pacific season 2s release date is finally here. The new season marks the second chapter for
    Activision's battle royale and continues the story started in Call of Duty: Vanguard . Originally due out in early February, the new Warzone season was pushed back to February 14th.

    Its hard to believe Call of Duty Warzone is less than two years old. Since it launched back in March 2020, its changed dramatically with regular new
    seasons bringing massive updates to the battle royale. Like previous season releases, Warzone Pacific season 2 will bring new vehicles, weapons, and map changes. Additionally, the update is slated to introduce new features tied to the deadly Nebula V gas that encircles players as the battle royale counts down, forcing players closer together.

    On top of these changes, the developer is also introducing new modes with the release of Call of Duty Warzone Pacific season 2. Players have already been given a taste of what the newest map in the Warzone series has to offer, and now it sounds like Caldera is about to get even more interesting.

    Call of Duty Warzone Pacific season 2 will release on February 14, 2022. Initially, it was slated to release on February 2, 2022. However, the developers announced a delay in January 2022.

    When it releases, players will be able to download the update and enjoy it on the PS4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X , Xbox Series S , and on PC through the Battle.net client. Unfortunately, the developers havent shared an exact launch time, so players will need to check their respective game libraries
    for updates on February 14 to get started. Warzone Pacific Season 2 trailer

    While there wont be a new Warzone map for a while, Verdask was only recently placed with Caldera, season 2 is going to bring change. First, the old refinery located between the Mines and the Docks on Caldera has been
    converted into a chemical factory producing the deadly Nebula V gas. The layout of the area is similar to what came before but you will now find the building is larger and there are AI soldiers patrolling the environment. Chemical Weapon Research Labs

    There are also seven new Chemical Weapon Research Labs hidden around the map. These labs are hidden underground and are guarded by small groups of
    soldiers. Players may have already found these locations in the previous season, however, theyll now be locatable by every player thanks to hand-drawn circles on the Tac Map. Players will be able to find important items like gas masks and even the new Nebula V ammo inside of these locations. (Image

    Perhaps the biggest change is the new roaming armored transport trucks. If
    you can track down and destroy the cargo trucks then youll be rewarded with valuable gear. Beware, though, these vehicles are armed with two heavy
    machine gun turrets which will shred you to pieces if you get too close. They can also drop land mines so look out for that if youre giving chase. Oh, and if that wasnt enough, the trucks call in air support when their health gets low.

    However, if you can destroy the trucks youll be rewarded with valuable loot. Rebirth Island map changes

    Developer Treyarch has also teased substantial changes to Rebirth Island but its not yet detailed exactly what will be updated. Warzone Pacific season 2 new vehicles (Image credit: Activision Blizzard) Bomber planes

    Season 2 brings a new vehicle to Caldera, Warzones second aerial vehicle: the bomber plane. Built for air-to-ground attacks, you will be able to use it to dislodge camping squads and rain merry hell on the battlefield.

    Warzones fighter plane is getting a much-needed debuff, too. Its reduced health will make it easier to shoot out of the sky. Redeploy Balloon

    The second new vehicle to make an appearance is the Redeploy Balloon. These balloons float high in the sky and if you zipline to the top you can leap off them and use your parachute to travel great distances across the map.. However, the balloons can be destroyed, so you can be left isolated from your squad if you use it to redeploy and its damaged before they can follow you.

    The new season will also bring two new limited-time modes to the game. The
    two new modes were developed by High Moon Studios and Beenox and will be available alongside the traditional modes already offered in Warzone. Warzone Pacific season 2 new modes (Image credit: Activision Blizzard) Caldera Clash

    In this new 50 v 50 mode, you need to level up and conquer main areas of the map in a twist on the classic team deathmatch game mode. Its an update to the Clash on Verdansk 84 mode introduced back in season 5. In Caldera Clash, youdrop onto Caldera with a squad and armed with a custom loadout. Although youre in a squad of four, youre in a subgroup of a team of 50. The team who hit the kill limit or are in the lead when the timer runs out are declared
    the winners.

    You also have access to three power-ups in this mode, including Contracts,
    Buy Stations, and the Domination Capture and High-Value Target events. There are also mini-events like Double Point Zones and Bonus Point crates available in the mode, too. Rebirth Iron Trials

    The final new mode is Rebirth Iron Trials. This mode was designed by Beenox and is based on Iron Trials 84 from previous seasons. Rebirth Iron Trials is
    a variant of the original battle royale formula and is built with high-level competitive players in mind. Players will jump into matches using limited weaponry and take part in skill-based matches with an increased time-to-kill. The mode is expected to launch later this month, after the initial release of Pacific season 2.

    Warzone Pacific season 2 brings a stack of new weapons, including the KG M40 Assault Rifle and the Whitley LMG. Both are available via the battle pass. Later in Pacific season 2, players will be able to get their hands on the Ice Axe and the Armaguerra 43 SMG. (Image credit: Activision Blizzard)

    Of course, there are also several new Nebula V-based items joining the arsenal. The first is Nebula V ammo. This particular weapon is classified as
    a Field Upgrade. When equipped, players will be able to shoot bullets laced with Nebula V at their enemies. This ammo is stronger than traditional ammunition and it emits a poisonous gas when it downs an enemy player.

    Other Nebula V items will be joining the roster, too, including a rarer
    Nebula V Bomb. This briefcase bomb explodes a short time after being placed, and it cannot be disarmed or destroyed by other players. When set off, the bomb emits Nebula V gas for several minutes, allowing players to seal off entryways and block off exits from other players. To help negate the effects of the new Nebula V weaponry you can also find and make use of Portable Decontamination Stations. New Call of Duty 2022 : everything we know about
