What the Season 3 update brings to Warzone 2

The developers at Activision have also talked about a brand-new barter system being featured in Warzone Season 3:

"We are introducing Barter for Players to have another way to gear-up during deployment. Barter can be found at Buy Stations and offers exchange of certain items for useful equipment. Remembering these 'Recipes' will be a useful tool for acquiring specific items. Barter is not Player-to-Player."

Furthermore, the Workbench has arrived in DMZ. It allows players to customize Contraband Weapons during their deployment. This includes any equipped weapon that might be insured or looted. Gamers will be able to add or remove attachments based on their own weapon progression. Speaking of guns, a brand new firearm is now available. It's called the FJX Imperium Sniper Rifle and was described by WZ2 developers as:

"Engineered destruction at its finest, this anti-personnel, bolt-action Sniper Rifle intervenes in tense situations with hard-hitting .408 rounds."

Additionally, a new faction was also introduced. Its name has currently been redacted from the patch notes. However, the developers mentioned that new Faction missions will come with Season 3.

Game developers are constantly fighting the war against cheaters. They're always trying to come up with new ways to prevent cheating and ways to punish the cheaters. The newest update to Warzone is no different as the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team introduced key new prevention methods.
