The much-anticipated Season 6 of Warzone 2 (WZ2) has finally arrived, and the community is ready to welcome the update with open arms. The latest Season for WZ2 is set to make quite a few bold changes as well as bring forth a plethora of content for the upcoming Halloween event. Preliminary information has revealed massive crossovers with Diablo 4, Skeletor, Alucard, and many more.

As expected, the new Season will see a whole bunch of Ranked changes. From major competitive updates and balance changes to new weapon restrictions and other ruleset changes, Warzone 2 players are in for a tough and highly competitive time in the upcoming Ranked Season.

This article will provide you with a brief review of everything you can expect from this new phase.


All SR and Division changes in Warzone 2 Season 6 Ranked

Season 6 brings the CoD community quite a few balance changes in-game. The Deployment Fee has been a bone of contention for many high-level Warzone 2 players. With this update, its mechanics have been updated and will now enforce much stricter penalties for match losses and leaves, thereby increasing the stakes of each game.

The patch notes detail these changes as follows:

  • Iridescent: -110 SR + 10 SR every 300 SR (previously 500 SR) above 10,000, up to a NEW max Deployment Fee of -280 SR.
  • Max Fee increased from -230 to -280

Furthermore, the beginning of a new season means all players who ended the last one with ranks ranging from Bronze through Crimson 1 will find themselves set back three tiers. In comparison, all players in Crimson 2 and above will begin the new Season at Diamond 1.


Restricted weapons and Equipment

Taking into consideration the opinion of players and with due statistical research, the Warzone 2 developers have decided to restrict the following weapons and equipment to ensure a healthy and balanced competitive experience for all WZ2 players during their Ranked grind:

  • RPG-7
  • Strela-P

We speculate these weapons will receive balance updates in upcoming patches. Until then, these weapons and equipment will remain vaulted to prevent exploits and abuse in-game.
