Free access week is hosted to attract new gamers into the Call of Duty community and existing Warzone 2 players to purchase multiplayer content. The publisher will limit the amount of content available to the players and provide a demo version of the game.

Here is a list of all the game modes and maps during the free access week.

• 6v6 core maps: Pelayo’s Lighthouse, Shoot House, Shipment, Dome, Farm 18, and Himmelmat Expo.

Free access week

Players can take this opportunity to invite beginners and even Warzone 2 squadmates to participate in the event and play the multiplayer modes together. Activision’s entire series shares a common platform that can be utilized to level up weapons and Battle Passes faster across both games.

It is also important to remember that a player’s progress is saved on the account and is visible in Warzone 2. However, this can only be capitalized on if players use the same account to play Modern Warfare 2 during the free access week. Players can also utilize existing XP boost tokens to make the most out of the free multiplayer access.

Players can keep an eye out for Call of Duty’s official Twitter page and blog for more announcements. Be sure to follow Sportskeeda for the latest updates.
