All maps in Face the Vortex event in Modern Warfare 3
Tetanus - Rust
During this event, the fan-favorite Rust map will get a complete overhaul. The players will find themselves in a futuristic setting of Rust during a planetary storm. Neon-green lights will be seen attached to the infrastructure, giving a sci-fi feel to the players participating in the event.
Satan's Quarry - Quarry
In this event, as the name suggests, the Quarry will unleash a hellish atmosphere. There will be fire and magma all over the places instead of the salt that it usually has. The atmosphere will be very similar to Warzone's Diablo 4 crossover event during Halloween.
Sporeyard - Boneyard
The iconic Boneyard map will see a fungal infestation like never before. Players will find themselves in a world where fungus takes over, and there will be glowy blue spores in the sky. All the infrastructure will also be invaded by this glowy fungus.
When does Face the Vortex event in Modern Warfare 3 end?
The event will officially end on January 17, 2024. It is also expected that the Season 1 Reloaded for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone will commence on the same day.
