Warzone Return to Verdansk event start date, challenges, & rewards

Return to Verdansk challenges players to explore Warzone’s original map to unlock 12 exclusive rewards and the iconic Kali Sticks melee weapons.

With the return of Warzone’s original map in Season 3, Raven Software did everything it could to make Verdansk feel just like it did in 2020.

This includes scaling back Omnimovement in Warzone, removing some of the speed increases introduced in BO6, getting rid of Redeploy Balloons to incentivize players to use vehicles, and bringing back meta weapons from Modern Warfare 2019.
