The Season 4 update for Warzone is bringing several updates to Urzikstan, introducing several Gulag changes.

  • Gulag 8: A rectangular concrete barrier wall outside long central section around the central circular floor grate with one plywood wall sprayed with a blue “8.”

Urzikstan bunkers (In-season)

Despite not being a brand-new feature, the bunkers have been a fan-favorite feature in Warzone, since its first inclusion in Verdansk, and they’re back in Season 4. According to the blog, players will need a keycard to access them and will find “high-level loot,” however, not all of them will be accessible.

Additionally, secondary bunker exit hatches are also set to become available, allowing players different methods to escape.

Warzone Season 4 modes

As with every season, Warzone Season 4 will also bring a new game mode offering players a familiar experience within Battle Royale, the returning fan-favorite Buy Back Royale.

Buy Back Royale (Launch)

Returning from the previous Warzone iteration in Season 4 is Buy Back Royale, this mode follows the regular Battle Royale rules, excluding the Gulag availability, allowing players to return to a match after dying as long as they have enough cash on them.

Warzone Season 4 new features

New features are coming to Warzone as part of the Season 4 update, including additional methods to unlock exclusive rewards and in-game bonuses.

Specialist Perk

Veteran Warzone players will remember how powerful the Specialist Perk is, as it was one of the most sought-after elements within the game’s first iteration, allowing players to gain a massive advantage against opponents.

In Season 4, the fan-favorite Specialist Perk will arrive in Urzikstan after being implanted in Rebirth Island previously. This grants players all the benefits of every Perk available in the game.

Tactical Sprint Boots Perk

Another Urzikstan-exclusive feature arriving with Season 4 is the Tactical Sprint Boots Perk, which will be accessible through the bunkers and will grant players an “unlimited increase in your Tactical Sprint speed, and a reduction in fall damage.”

Loot Hot Zones

Warzone’s Season 4 Loot Hot Zones are established points of interest on the Urzikstan that will reward higher-tier loot.

New vehicle in Warzone Season 4

Urzikstan is host to a ton of content in Season 4, and among it is the new Polaris RZR land vehicle – a “real-world side-by-side UTV” that offers “immediate acceleration, nimble handling, and rugged durability.” Additionally, it offers three players’ seats and enhanced fuel economy.

Warzone Season 4 weapons

Warzone Season 4 will introduce four new weapons into the game – two of them dropping at launch, including the return of the fan-favorite Kar98k Rifle.

Kar98k – Marksman Rifle

Last seen in Vanguard’s Warzone Pacific as a Sniper Rifle, the Kar98k returns in Warzone Season 4 as a “powerful and accurate” Marksman Rifle.

Since its introduction in Call of Duty, this weapon has become a staple in the franchise with its greatest recognition found in Warzone, being the hardest-hitting long-range rifle to kill enemies with ease from afar.

Superi 46 SMG
