News - New Gameplay: Warzone 2 Zombies Season 2 Reloaded Map Update, Easter Eggs & Secrets
Twitter There's actually quite a bit going on right now when it comes to season 2 reloaded marketing. Earlier this morning, the full blog post did end up dropping from Call of Duty.
New look: mwz season 2 map
We got some brand new images of our new dark ether Rift coming on March 6th, so this is Sayad City from Alaz, once again turned into a zombified experience. You can specifically see the Sayed shopping mall the it is going to be I think one of the main areas here of the rift people out there are wondering though what is going on with mwz, did they announce anything new that we didn't already know about and the short answer is no but we did get some more context on a couple of things I'm going to break down here in this article fingers crossed though we don't have to wait until early May for season 3 Reloaded, to end up getting even more Moder Warfare 3 zombies content hopefully season 3 which begins at the beginning of April does also provide some cool zombies content for those that have been on the edge of their seats waiting for something new to grind out since what season 1's launch season one reloaded only ended up offering the doabe warlord.
The new warlord & schematics
And we have another warlord here in the form of carries dropping in the Orloff military base specifically in the killhouse area of that point of interest, so we have the new warlord, and it's unclear if we're going to be seeing a new reward Rift of any sort that gives you something worth while for defeating her.
I honestly doubt it. It'll probably just be like Doabe, where there's a chance of a wonder weapon case, a high-ranking weapon, or even a blueprint that the warlord is holding that you can't really xill with or unlock, but that's probably all that's going to be in that re-W Rift. But don't forget about the three different schematics you're going to be able to unlock.
One is the ability to hold stock options. The other one is a blood burner key if you want to use the Ether bike, and lastly, we have a schematic for the VR11. Wonder Weapon, so I'll make a separate guide and full breakdown of how to unlock those schematics once the content does drop later this Wednesday, but.
Gameplay trailer breakdown & findings
Apart from that, we got a beautiful new trailer today for season 2 of Reloaded Zombies. I was honestly surprised to see a Zombie Focus trailer, so as you guys can see, we got some nice animations and editing in the trailer.
Here's a really awesome style from Call of Duty, and you can see some new skins being used, some of which are releasing with our mid-season 2 update, and some that'll probably drop just before the start of season 3. In case you guys are wondering what some of those operator skins were or some of the blueprints, they're all part of some new cosmetics that have yet to be announced, but we can also see what appears to be EMP-looking mimics and even EMP manglers now.
TR previously announced at the start of season 2 via a crater call that we're not going to be seeing any new perks or enemy types for the rest of the MW3 life cycle, which is really disappointing news, but I guess we're still going to see EMP-type variants of these familiar bosses. Obviously, we've seen different colored HVTs in the Cold War, even in MWZ.
Yeah, if you're doing a bounty contract or something specific, you might see a red Mangler or a red mimic or a red Abomination but this might take it a step further by adding in EMP and HBTs. That might not be well received. I mean, I'm getting flashbacks to EXO zombies from Advanced Warfare 2014.
You guys probably know what I'm talking about, but we can also see some other new zombie models here in the trailer itself and some really creepy quotes like those you have returned to us. We will be waiting, so just some hints at what's going to probably await us with the brand new act for Mission It's going to be added here with Reloaded.
The Act Miss is going to take us straight into this new dark ether Rift. You have to do some objectives; there'll be some hints planted, and then once you complete that mission, there'll be other things you have to do in Ekhan, which I'm going to talk about in a minute, but I'm really curious.
Secret rooms & keys in s2 reloaded
As to what will be incorporated with this new Rift since it looks like we're just going to be seeing three new schematics and no other ones, I know season one was offered.
I think it was six in total, since we're only going to see that. I wonder if there will be some secret rooms similar to the first Arther Rift, where if you find some keys around the environment, you could use them to open up particular rooms that may have weapon cases, powerups, or other goodies that we're just not aware of.
Hopefully, there's that level of depth with this new Rift, so there's more to cover and more to enjoy as a community. That's what I've been crossing my fingers for since the first AR. The rift was a bit of fun, and I really enjoyed it. I think it was a must to have a scorcher, as you also saw in the trailer I think it was a must to have the scorcher.
While being in there, it just helped you get away from tough situations because you're going up against something like tier three or tier four zombies. But with that, it was cool to be able to use that Rift as an opportunity to stock up on more wonder weapon cases if you guys wanted them for other purposes.
Now obviously, the secret rooms in the first Arita, the Rift, did borrow the key system from DMZ; they were the exact same keys that opened up the exact same rooms as we saw in MWW's life cycle, so I wouldn't be shocked if the same thing happens here with this new Alazar section that is coming to MW zombies.
Unlocking artifacts & sigils in s2 reloaded
I'm also curious about a possible sigil and elder sigil system that we may end up seeing here for this map. I'm sure if you guys are already holding on to sigils, you could just go ahead and use them and go into the new Rift that way, or there will be some new sigils that we have to unlock through a quest.
That is probably going to be in Zikan. As you guys can see in the blog post, it does say that after completing a new story mission, a fresh dark ether Rift experience awaits. Keep your eyes open, follow the cryptic clues, and complete the time task to unlock access to the rift gate. So that's our first clue as to how to get back into that Rift outside of the Act for Mission, which brings us in by default.
So yeah, it'll be something you have to do on Zikan. That. I guess, requires a series of time tasks, and then once you do those. I guess you got a special sigil or something, you'll probably end up inputting in the same dark ether Rift over in the Tier 3 area of the map. That's probably what's going to happen unless there's a different area of the map where you can enter this new rift as we continue.
