Call of Duty Warzone Season 5 update patch notes…
MAPS
Verdansk – Militarised Stadium
• A new multi-step Contract is available during the first full week of the season. Infiltrate the Stadium, uncover hidden operations, and complete the explosive Satellite Hijack Contract before time runs out.
– Once unlocked, players will find that this POI is now more meaningful than ever with the introduction of the Militarised variant. Updates include:
– New vertical structures offer increased control over sightlines and engagement opportunities.
– Most additions are made of solid materials to reduce wallbanging from the outskirts.
– Height variation between structures introduces more diverse combat encounters.
– Multiple structures provide plenty of loot for players to scavenge.
– The outer ring of the Stadium remains largely unchanged to preserve familiarity.
– Starting on Week 2 through the end of Season 05, the Stadium will remain permanently unlocked and be designated as a High Value Loot Zone.
NEW MODES
Stadium Resurgence
• With the action heating up, Stadium becomes the center of an intense Resurgence battle. Standard Resurgence rules apply: keep up the pressure, complete Contracts, eliminate threats, and stay mobile. Every action helps accelerate squad redeployments.
– Each match consists of:
– 36 players
– 12-minute time limit
– Custom loot pools
– Custom circle collapses (7 stages)
– Public Events
– Available starting Week 2 of Season 05.
