Call of Duty Warzone developers Raven Software recently announced that highly anticipated features like Weapon Case and Covert Exfil will come in a new game mode instead of the battle royale playlist. The devs are likely to use this as a fail-safe to ensure that the new gameplay content does not interfere with the current flow of the game and provides a balanced gameplay experience.

Warzone already features different modes like battle royale, resurgence, and plunder. However, the upcoming playlist update is likely going to be temporary, similar to the experimental playlist in Modern Warfare 3 that tested various ideas and implemented them in the game, depending on popular feedback.

This article will highlight the possible arrival of a new mode for the Weapon Case and Covert Exfil.


New game mode in Warzone to test upcoming Covert Exfil and Weapon Case features

Activision announced the introduction of a secondary win criteria, Covert Exfil, and exclusive rewards from the Weapon Cases would be arriving alongside the Season 1 Reloaded update. The devs announced that they were certain that both these items would play perfectly in Warzone as it allows for new playstyles to take action.

However, the dev team seems to be uncertain if it would fit the flow of a battle royale match, so they intend to provide a special game mode for it. The publisher has already announced that there would be only one Weapon Case in a match and a maximum of five purchasable Covert Exfils.

There is a high chance that the new mode would revolve around teams fighting to take possession of the case and gathering loot to buy their way out of the battlefield. This way, the developers could test the secondary win condition and how a covert exfil would affect the course of the game.

The devs can also gather crucial game data through such a playlist update and adjust the price of the Covert Exfil in the Buy Station. It is important to note that such an exfil would not provide you with a Warzone victory but only help you secure the case and its exclusive rewards.

The exact details of the upcoming game mode were not announced at the time of writing this article. Fans can keep an eye out on the official X page of Call of Duty for announcements.
