The finest teams combine these strategies for a well-coordinated battle, so strike a balance between exposure and intelligence collection.
During Season 03 Reloaded, deploy to Alboran Hatchery in both the Quick Play map pool and featured playlists. The Alboran Hatchery map guide will be released soon; stay tuned to the Call of Duty blog.

Faceoff (3v3)
In 2011, Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 introduced Faceoff, a dedicated Multiplayer mode inspired by the small-team Cage Match battles on maps like Rust and Shipment.
Now, twelve years later, Infinity Ward has brought Faceoff back, serving as the perfect complement to Gunfight. If you want to use your own Loadouts and engage in modes like Team Deathmatch and Kill Confirmed on Gunfight maps, join the Call of Duty veterans celebrating Faceoff’s return in Reloaded.
Faceoff will feature all existing Gunfight maps, with more to be added in future seasons.
WARZONE 2.0 OVERVIEW
- Use New Features to Boost Your Performance. With Perk Packages, the Deployable Buy Station, and the Gulag Entry Kit, the midseason update increases your tactical choices.
- New Experience in the DMZ. Enter the Koschei Complex to take a big chance and get worthwhile benefits. We hope the gloom doesn’t frighten you.
- Ranked Play in Warzone. With competitive settings, a progressive ranking system, and seasonal awards, Warzone Ranked Play will test your mettle.
New Features Enhance Tactical Strategies
Operators in Battle Royale will have access to even more survival tools:
- Perk Packages: Look for pre-made Perk Packages at Buy Stations and in Supply Boxes. For Warzone Operators who haven’t phoned in their loadout drop yet, they provide crucial passive bonuses. Perfect for gaining an advantage in the first few minutes of the game.
- Deployable Buy Station: Do you need goods badly? You’re in good hands with the Deployable Buy Station. Without losing your position, set it up and replenish. This is accessible in the DMZ as well.
- Gulag Entry Kit: Have you already battled your way out of the Gulag? To have another opportunity at getting back into the competition after being ousted, get your hands on a Gulag Entry Kit.
Show What You’re Made of in Warzone Ranked Play (BETA)
Following the success of Multiplayer Ranked Play in Modern Warfare II, Warzone Ranked Play (BETA) arrives in Season 03 Reloaded, offering competitive settings, a tiered ranking system, skill-based visuals, and seasonal rewards, all within the iconic Battle Royale experience. The full version will launch in a future season after the BETA.
Players will start in Bronze and work their way up by winning matches, securing high placements, and earning eliminations, progressing through the Skill Rating (SR) system designed for Battle Royale:
- Bronze: 0–899 SR
- Silver: 900–2,099 SR
- Gold: 2,100–3,599 SR
- Platinum: 3,600–5,399 SR
- Diamond: 5,400–7,499 SR
- Crimson: 7,500–9,999 SR
- Iridescent: 10,000 SR minimum
- Top 250: 10,000+ SR
Your performance in matches determines your skill rating. To raise your SR, place high in the match and get assists and eliminations. A small SR entrance fee is required to enter a match; for a breakdown of your SR adjustments, go to the end-of-match SR report. The top performers will be shown on a public scoreboard for everyone to view and in the Top 250 Skill Division.
Though keep in mind that Modern Warfare II Multiplayer Ranked Play and Warzone Ranked Play are two distinct systems with their own Rank advancement, more details about this unique experience will be released tomorrow, May 4.
Reminder: Plunder is Back in Warzone 2.0
If you haven’t yet tried this mode since its launch in Season 03, Week 2 of Season 03 Reloaded is the perfect time to dive into Plunder, which originally debuted with Call of Duty: Warzone.
Plunder intensifies the classic Battle Royale experience by allowing respawns and letting Operators access their Loadouts from the beginning.
Team up with your squad to loot Cash Registers, complete contracts, and take down enemy Operators to amass as much Cash as possible before time runs out. With various options for spending your Cash to enhance your arsenal, you’ll face some tough choices along the way.
