Call of Duty: Warzone Season 2 — What’s new
Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Warzone will feature Nebula V ammo and bombs, which can be found around the battle royale map, Caldera. Operators downed with Nebula V ammo will emit a poisonous gas cloud, and those who try to revive them will experience coughing, blurred vision, and slight damage over time. Nebula V bombs are rare, last for two minutes, and can be found in briefcases which must be activated to detonate after a countdown. Operators within the bomb’s radius will experience damage if they do not have a gas mask or not near the new Portable Decontamination Station.
As part of the Season Two update, Armoured Transport Trucks will attack gamers in their vicinity with turrets, mines, and aerial support. However, destroying these vehicles will yield important items, including (in rare cases) an intact Nebula V Bomb, according to the publisher. Gamers will also be able to find these weapons in the Chemical Factory and Underground Chemical Weapons Research Labs that are guarded by Axis soldiers in Caldera.

Meanwhile, operators can also take advantage of Bomber Planes, the second aerial vehicle to be added the game, as well as Redeploy Balloons which lets players take to the skies to reposition themselves thousands of metres away, by using a zipline to the balloon and deploying their parachute. These balloons can be destroyed and reinflated by gamers.
Finally, Call of Duty: Warzone will also feature two new limited time game modes — Caldera Clash which is an evolution of Clash on Verdansk ‘84 and Warzone Rumble, and Rebirth Iron Trials. Caldera Clash will allow gamers to pick weapons from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to Vanguard and earn a point for each kill for their team. The team which achieves the target points or has the highest points when the time runs out will win the round. Rebirth Island Trials will feature battle royale-style gameplay and feature weapons from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, aimed at hardcore players of the Call of Duty community, according to Activision.
