Verdansk Easter Egg

A Reddit user and Warzone 2 player with the social tag tiktokalnuke uploaded a video showcasing another one of many Call of Duty Easter eggs. This one is ingrained within a specific character cosmetic.

The hidden gem can be spotted on the arm of a Warzone 2 Specgru operator named "Reyes." The operator wears a certain accessory on his forearm, containing a patch of paper with some inscriptions. The details of this little piece of paper can be seen for a few seconds while using the character in-game to inspect the weapon on hand.

The markings and drawings on this paper turn out to be a section of Warzone's original Verdansk map from Modern Warfare 2019. This was confirmed after isolating the image on Reyes' arm and isolating it to fit on the Verdansk map layout even when the scale was slightly off, considering that the paper was folded around the character's arm.
