Since there has not been any game-breaking bug or glitch within the modes, the community speculated that the decision to temporarily remove these modes was motivated by worries about potential abuse by players, resulting in an excessive collection of experience points (XP). While gaining XP is an important part of the gaming experience, the rapid collection of these points outside the planned progression framework goes against the game's system.
The developers have taken this action to ensure integrity and fairness, where players can enjoy a balanced and rewarding gameplay experience. However, the above reason is just a speculation, nothing has been officially mentioned.
When did Plunder and Lockdown get removed, and when will they return?
On August 11, 2023, Plunder and Lockdown were temporarily removed from the game, as mentioned by the official Twitter handle of Call of Duty Updates. The issue got listed on the same date on the official Warzone Trello board, and developers are actively investigating the issue.
There is no expected return date since the developers are still looking into the problem. However, players should expect the modes to return very soon, and for the time being, they should play other modes as the developers didn't give an official return date.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2 Season 5 is live and available on Windows PC (via Battle.net and Steam), Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
