On December 2, MISCALL OF DUTY: War zone — War zone: Pacific. A new map, polished graphics and better anti-cheat should shine the Battle Royale in a very new splendor. But how does it all work? Mango answers the most important questions about the integration of Vanguard.
The Battle Royale War zone has been celebrating success for more than 1.5 years and goes along with Call of Duty: Vanguard towards the future. With the start of the Season 1 of Vanguard (early December), the free war zone gets a huge update including new map and graphics engine.
All details about the large changeover are not yet known. Especially at the gameplay questions are still open. But what we already know about the integration of Vanguard in War zone we collect in this article for you.

As soon as there is new information about switching to the Vanguard graphic, we update the article accordingly.
When is the new map and the fresh graphics?
When is the Pacific Update? The release takes place on two days and when you can start the new War zone, depends on whether your COD has bought: Vanguard or not:

But there is no concrete time yet.
Do I need Vanguard absolutely? War zone remains on free-to-play, and you do not necessarily need Vanguard for War zone. However, since War zone moves to the Vanguard graphics, the two shooters play very similarly and if battles exercise or want to revel weapons, Vanguard may be worthwhile for you.
But you do not need the new cod to play War zone.
Can I not play War zone a day? How this change is over 2 days is not quite clear. It would be possible that the old Verdant war zone stays online for a day longer in the Launcher of COD MW and the Pacific War zone is already over the Vanguard-Launcher online. But that s not sure yet.
There is information for download? Also, no details can be found so far. Probably War zone is then part of the Vanguard data and can be downloaded separately, as currently at COD MW. So you only want to play Vanguard, you can decide if your war zone data wants to load. The otherwise, that may be slightly different, and you always have to store a little vanguard on the hard disk, even if you only play War zone.
War zone: New map Caldera
What is the new map to know? The developers proudly write that the new map caldera is similar to Verdant in just one point of the current map: in size. Otherwise, the COD makers promise a completely new experience, which has been created on the basis of the feedback to the war zone since the release.
Caldera is a typical volcanic island in the middle of the Pacific, with small and larger villages, holiday plants, jungle areas, caves, mining economies and of course a large volcano that projects on the map. There is also an overview card with first landing spaces.
First Leaks already indicate an event in which the volcano spits fire and lava (via Twitter).
As a new element that is likely to bring more dynamics into the game, aircraft come to the war zone. Mobile fighting trolley then supply themselves over the heaven of the island of Vacant Dogfights or attack soldiers on the ground. Accordingly, an anti-air truck comes into play with which you can take the plane under fire.
If you want to see more pictures of the map, look past Caldera in our overview article or yokes a look into our video about the new map of War zone:
Conversion of the graphics engine — what about my stuff?
What does the new graphics for War zone mean? All details are not yet clarified, but with the start of the Pacific Update War zone gets the graphic of Vanguard. The developers have made clear from the beginning that War zone leaves all cosmetic-relevant content in the game.
So you can continue to use your purchased operator and weapon skins and accordingly, the current weapons of War zone are back at the start.
Nevertheless, more changes than the same way. Although War zone will not play differently with the graphic engine of Vanguard, because Vanguard uses a polished version of the War zone engine, but still everything will be a little different.
Other gameplay options in the new War zone?!
What does the gameplay change? Also here are still missing details, but we have an exciting statement of a developer:
With the publication of Vanguard we want to ensure that the feeling and the character of the game over the multiplayer experience banded in War zone.

This could be a sign that the current experience in multiplayer is the role model for the experience in War zone — similar to the release of the War zone with Modern Warfare.
Currently, much indicates a complete change in what would mean that the gameplay mechanics from Vanguard in War zone apply:
End with the heartbeat sensor Ghost and Overkill in different PERK categories Ninja-Perk for quiet locomotion
These are just a few big adjustments of the LoadOut Meta. As soon as there are new information, you will find you on Mango. A mind game, as we put together our loadouts at the end of the year, you can watch here:
Nearly 40 new weapons come into the game — Meta-Shift?
Which new weapons are there? The topic of weapons has already been clarified. The almost 40 weapons of Vanguard come completely into the game and expand the arsenal of the war zone dramatically. Thus, the Battle Royale not only cracks the 100-weapon brand, but is on a good way to come to 150 weapons within the next year.
Whether the weapons are directly available to the start of War zone: Pacific to the full extent, can not be sure yet. There should be a Vanguard Royale in the beginning where you are only traveling with the weapons of the new code. Whether there is also a normal Battle Royale with all weapons, is still unclear.
However, quite sure is a quake through the weapons meta of the war zone. The new weapons come with 10 attachment places and all can be proved. This gives you much more options and in the multiplayer of Vanguard, the weapons are sometimes changed by the essays in a radical way. Learn here, which 3 Vanguard weapons could be too strong for War zone.

Anti-Cheat Ricochet as Savior of the War zone
What has it with Ricochet? One of the most important innovations is the anti-cheat system. Call of Duty improves its safety infrastructure with the start of Vanguard to get more cheaters and hackers to the sophisticated. Ricochet consists of 4 components:
Servers-side analysis tools Improved examination processes Increasing account security Kernel drivers on the PC
There is also a so-called kernel driver for the PC, which goes with the first day of War zone: Pacific online and later comes into the multiplayer of Vanguard. The driver examines the interactions of COD programs with other applications on the PC and should help to better understand the processes on a cheater PC and so also to catch other screens.
More information about Ricochet and answers about the kernel driver can be found here:
Live Season cycle starts again — with Battle Pass
How to continue with War zone? The Live Seasons of recent years start with Vanguard again at Season 1 and also War zone gets new content about this Season cycle as:
Live events MAP adjustments Cosmetics Weapons
The new engine of Vanguard should also make it possible to start completely new types of events in War zone and then offer more than 2 minutes disappointing work.
Also, the Battle Pass is back at the start and make you swap against 1,000 COD points (about 10, — €) and playing a good 100 items.
You can then continue to highlight the Battle Pass and Your Account Level over several cods. Vanguard climbs with the start of Season 1 in the COD level network, and you can then in a total of 4 cods experience points for your prestige level and the Battle Pass:
Modern Warfare of 2019 Black Ops Cold was from 2020 Vanguard from 2021 Battle Royale War zone
By the way, the current Battle Pass of the Season 6 can now already turn up Vanguard and some items for the new cod are already available:
Story about Nazi hunters in the Pacific
How do the stories fit together? The background stories of Cold was already linked by a trailer, War zone and Vanguard already linked.
Thus, the heroes from Black Ops Adler, Mason, Woods and Hudson meet World War Veterans Captain Butcher, which is already known from COD WWII, the COD from 2017. Butcher explains that he as part of a deployment group after the case of Berlin in the World War I went to the hunt for Nazis — everywhere in the world. And this hunt began in the Pacific: on the island of Caldera.
